Home to roughly 50,000 seniors and some of the most beautiful weather in the country, Tampa has long been an ideal retirement destination for retirees. Golf courses are plentiful in Tampa, and 246 days of sun give residents abundant opportunities to enjoy the links. Animal enthusiasts will delight in the Florida Aquarium and its Wild Dolphin Cruises, both of which offer discounted tickets for seniors. The Lowry Park Zoo provides year-long admission for one day’s price. Seniors can get active and get around Tampa by walking along Bayshore Boulevard, which sits next to the waters of Tampa Bay. For farther destinations, HART transit buses takes residents throughout the city, and seniors can get a discount permit for half-price rides.
To help seniors discover the most senior-friendly locations around the country, Caring.com conducted a new study, “The Best and Worst Places for Senior Living.” The Caring Senior Living Report analyzes and ranks 300 cities and 50 states on the quality of senior living in that area. The cities were graded using 46 metrics across five categories: Health Care, Senior Living & Housing, Affordability, Quality of life, and Transportation.

"We toured Best Care Senior Living at Saint Joseph for my sister-in-law. It was a nice facility. They took us through everything. The rooms and everything were nice. The staff was nice. It was a really clean place. It was a secure place. You didn't have to worry about the residents walking out of the facility because everything was well secured and locked, and they had cameras installed. It was a really beautiful place. They do a lot of craft projects. They do a lot of activities as far as getting the residents out and gathering them together."

"We toured Colonial Assisted Living at Tampa. It was very clean and pretty, but the rooms were a little bit small for two people. I have a sewing machine that I want to use, so I need a bigger room, and I have a double bed that I want to take. I like that they had a piano, their facilities are very good and the family room was nice."

"We are a transplant family; meaning we arrived at Atrium Gardens from a local corporate facility that was not meeting my father’s needs. AG is family owned, with the owners, administrator, and an LPN right on the floor interacting directly with the residents. I could not be more pleased with the personal care and attention my father is receiving from the entire staff. The kindness and compassion that is on full display throughout the community is second to none. The communal living area is lovely with lots of natural lighting and plenty of room for personal space and comfort. There are activities offered throughout the day as well as occasional outside entertainment brought in. My father is in a standard single room, with a full size extra long bed, a large recliner, a nightstand and a small dresser. There is more than enough room for his wheelchair, an even larger bed and a family gathering! He is very comfortable in his room. Residents are offered three solid home cooked meals a day. Everyone is eating and drinking at Atrium Gardens! Meal time is one of my favorite times to visit, as the entire staff sits side by side with residents to assist with their individual needs. If you’re looking for a memory care home for a loved one, I encourage you to visit. The kindness is palpable from the time you walk in the front door. The staff at Atrium Gardens aren’t simply doing a job….. it’s a calling for them, and they have lots of heart."

"I am pleased that my mil is no longer there. However, it is to the credit of the staff there that her meds,were regulated and,she improved so much, she was able to go to a more independent facility. Thats,a good thing. The staff is very busy there, the,needs of the patients there are incredible. All the staff was kind and caring. The director, Sangeeta went above and beyond when my mil did not want to eat. She was,willing to go get her fast food if she wanted! It's not in the best locale but they were all very sweet people, as far as staff. "

"I moved into SeaCoast at Uptown Oaks. It's like an apartment. I have my own bathroom, that when I need to go, I don't have to wait in line. I have my own little kitchenette, that if I want to make coffee at 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 in the morning, I can do it. If in the middle of night I'm hungry, I can open up a can of soup, a can of spaghetti, warm it up in a microwave. The room is very large. It's like a studio apartment. They said they have three meals a day. The staff is really nice, hospitable, and helpful. Every time they see you it's always a good morning. They're very cheery. They don't have an attitude. The place is immaculate, and if you need something fixed, you have housekeeping, you have the maintenance man. You just go downstairs to the receptionist, you put in a work order, and they come and fix whatever problems you've got."

"We like The Colonnade at Carrollwood because the aesthetics were great. It's a really beautiful facility and there were a lot of activities. Everyone that we talked to was really happy that they chose to be there. The staff did a great job of engaging the residents. Everybody was very friendly with each other. They were very outgoing and overall, it felt more like a resort than a retirement community. I ate there with my father and the food was excellent. The menu choices were great. He's super excited to move there. They have bingo, poker nights, and Jeopardy tournaments where they travel to other assisted living facilities. Sometimes they'll come in. It's kind of a multi-facility tournament with Jeopardy. They've also got church services for multiple different denominations and outings. They've just got a bit of everything going on."

"I toured Sodalis Tampa for my friend. They were very good and very nice. The facilities seem very well run and they have rehab people there. They had doctors if they needed them. That place had like 120 residents. It looked more like a professional type of place. You brought in your bed and your dresser or whatever. They had a cheaper way of doing it because it was like two people in one facility where there are two separate bedrooms and then they have like a small area with a refrigerator and a small living area, I guess you'd call it a den. They had a courtyard, a library, and a rehab area. The staff was very good and very informative. They helped me a lot. The facility looked good. Everything looked good."

"I chose The Colonnade at Northdale because they are the best fit for my friend. It's very welcoming. These people are wonderful. The ratio is better. Better food. They got my friend up. He is walking and talking normally. He's not perfect yet, but the change in two weeks has been spectacular. I can't say enough about this place. It's wonderful. My friend has a very nice room. He can have his own furniture. But they also provided a package that we could use. He has his own bathroom and his shower. The dining room is nice, so he gets some socialization. They have been very responsive to any of our concerns. I've been there when he has been eating and the food is good. Nobody is ever completely as happy as they were at home, but overall, he is doing much better. The nursing director that's over that section is very responsive. She was very concerned when my friend first came in. She is good with the families and with the patients. We have had several people come in from outside that were very pleased, too. I think it's pretty good value for the money."

"Concordia Village of Tampa is a very big community. They have several floors. It is the best one I've visited. It's very clean and very well structured. The staff was very nice and seemed to be concerned about our situation. However, in the end, they couldn't help us because of my brother's criminal record in the past. The dining area was set up like a hotel. The private room was nice and roomy, and it had a bathroom. The residents all seemed happy and engaged in whatever activity they were doing."

"We ended up choosing Inspired Living at Tampa for my mom because she has a friend that lives there whom she's known for most of her life. So, it was a good match that they can be there together. Also, she needs memory care (which they have). They're great people and they're nice to us. She's eaten better than ever. They also have activities going around the clock. They have painting, bingo, crafts, movies, and people come to play music for them."

"I have a friend who needs skilled long-term care. Memory care requires residents to stand and pivot; my friend isn't able to do either. I called Arden Court prior to knowing that. The staff couldn't have been more caring. Theresa went out of her way to visit her at her rehab facility and called me offering assistance (free) for placement and support. They obviously love what they do and are very caring of their residents. I haven't found that with any other facility."

"My mother will be moving into Angels Senior Living at New Tampa memory care unit. So far, so good. We have to move our own furniture in, but the room was clean and the size was good for us. The staff was nice, and they have good service. They have activities, but very simple ones. They have everything inside. They're pretty new."

"We are choosing Weinberg Village for my mom. It is a very nice place, and the location is ideal for the family. As soon as we walked in, we immediately liked it. The rooms were very nice. They had a couple of different floor plans available. It's a 33-acre gated community with a Jewish community center next to it. When you walk out into their garden area, there's a lake and it has a water feature in it. It's just very serene. The staff was extremely nice. They were all very helpful and welcoming. Everybody was very friendly. We just had that feeling that it was going to fit in. They were in the process of refurbishing everything, but it was almost finished when we were there. The building is 2 stories. At the end of each hallway is an activity area. They had bingo, cards, Rummikub, and entertainment once in a while. One night I was there, they had a saxophonist and it was very nice."

"The area of Tampa Gardens Senior Living was very well-kept. The young lady at the front desk greeted us with open arms as if we were family. They escorted us to different activities they have, whether it was bingo night or movies. The young lady gave us so much literature and information to take home. They showed us around the memory care facility, which was very well-kept and secure. My dad is a wanderer and likes to walk around, but we felt very secure that he wouldn't be in any danger or anything like that. The staffing was amazing. The place was immaculate. They have menus and so many activities that would keep my dad occupied and very busy. We even spoke to one of the nurses there who takes care of these patients with these needs. She was very, very helpful. She speaks multiple languages, which is fantastic, not only English, but she also speaks Spanish. Someone else spoke Filipino, which is fantastic. Somebody else spoke Hindi, who is very well-balanced. We saw the menu, which had a large variety. They had vegan choices and choices for special diets and special needs. It was a very nice menu that we saw. The dining area was very clean and organized."
