Colonial Assisted Living at Tampa

This community was very nice, but it's not a secure facility. I'd recommend it for senior living or just regular assisted living where there is not security involved as far as the patients are concerned. The facility was very nice, and I liked it. The rooms were very nice and adequate, the place was very clean, it had a very nice community room with televisions and a nice aquarium, dining was no problem at all, and their price was right in the same range as the rest of them. The patients could come and go as they pleased, and the staff was very helpful and got a lot of advice from them with financing. Everything was spacious as far as the dining and community rooms, and the people I saw there seemed to be happy.

We currently have a family member who currently lives here and they are happy with the facility. When we first her in the place was a bit outdated by we overlooked that due to the favorable cost. Fortunately they have provided great service to our family member without any problems. We are happy with the services and hope to have her here until she finishes rehab.

I have a family member who is rather difficult due to some mental issues. He has been in many assisted living communities over the last 5 years. This is the first place that took the necessary time to meet his needs and make him feel like he was at home. The administrator Sherry is also a nurse. She checks in with me on a regular basis. Nice friendly staff, clean nice building.

My sister is in a private room here. The director said it is clean, the food is good, and it is affordable. And, the affordable part of that made it extremely attractive. They have a social area where they have a big television set. She doesn't complain about the food being bad. My sister is very difficult; she cannot communicate in a normal sense. There is some staff that she really, really likes, and there are a few she sometimes says she has issues with. She is incontinent, and when her husband was taking care of her she would get urinary tract infections all the time. After I took over, I started using wet wipes every time she pees, but I don't want her to take it upon herself to wipe after peeing; I want somebody else doing it, and they are following that instruction. And then, they used the wet wipes, and in this whole year, knock on wood, she has not had one urinary tract infection. They really are taking care of her, and that is extremely important because that would be the first place that it would show up if she wasn't being cleaned properly. Her room gives you a feeling more of a nursing home type, but the flooring is tiled and it is light, it is very bright, and it is washed every day.

Not impressed.

I have visited this place often and I never fail to see dirty patients. It seems no one checks to see if the patients are bathed or change their clothes every day.

This is an Assisted Living Facility and I have volunteered there. it is nice, clean facility; patience cared for in a kind and loving manner. Entertainment provided, and play games with the residents and seniors in service also provide companion services for the residents.
