The Best Memory Care Communities in Hillsborough County, FL

"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 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."

"Hawthorne Inn of Brandon was very nice. It was easily accessible. They offer transportation, and they bring the provider to the residents. You don't have to worry about picking up your loved one. The doctor comes there. They've got programs, activities, and field trips. The two staff members I met were fine, but I didn't meet a lot of staff as I did at the other place."

"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."

"I toured The Crossings at Riverview. We spent more time in their assisted living. What stood out was the brightness of the place. It's a very bright home. And the staff was friendly. It looked clean and very welcoming. The rooms were spacious and homey. They were very friendly and welcoming. The staff who gave the tour was professional and friendly, too. We played bingo with the residents, and they seemed fine and happy. We like it. And it's close to our house, so we like that, too."

"Chapman Manor was good, but it was different in the way it was set up for memory care. They're locked in because memory care people tend to roam or leave, but the way it was set up was so obvious to my mother. They had a separate section, and it was behind closed doors and she did not like that. It wasn't bad. The studios were very nice and very clean. It was upstairs. They had assisted living upstairs also, but it was separate. It was a white door that had a keypad to get in and out, and there were no windows. You could not look into that section. The way the building curved, it was hard to tell anything except that you're going through this door that has a keypad on it. Mom wouldn't be able to get in and out by herself. She would always have to be with somebody, of course, but it was just so obvious to her. They had many things going on. Mom was assured that she would be able to participate in anything that assisted living was doing. Memory care had its things, they were doing, but also assisted living had its things, and the assisted living section was upstairs and downstairs. She thought she was going to be locked in and couldn't come out. That wasn't Chapman Manor's fault. They assured her over and over again that she would be able to participate in anything, but it's just how it looked to her, and once she saw it that way, that was it. You couldn't change her mind. While it was maintained well, it did kind of seem like an old building."

"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."

"Arden Courts of Tampa is an only memory care community. I like how active they had the residents being, like they were constantly engaged in activities or socializing. They weren't just sort of left there to sit, like they were constantly interacting with either other residents there or with staff. So they were just engaged. They have all inclusive care instead of levels of care, because they know that there are different days that will be different stages for people who suffer from Alzheimer's and dementia. They are really active in terms of like social and emotional and physical well-being, like they make sure that their activities touch on all of those on a daily basis. The staff was knowledgeable, personable, and just really cared that this was the right fit, and gave me plenty of time to ask any and all questions."

"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."

"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."

"Outstanding Senior Living Care at Legacy at Highwoods Preserve! From the moment we relocated my mother-in-law to Legacy at Highwoods Preserve in January 2025, we experienced an immediate and undeniable difference in the quality of care, attention, and respect she received. After facing subpar treatment and radical bias at a nearby senior living facility, we needed a place where she would be truly valued—and Legacy has exceeded every expectation. The Legacy staff genuinely "gives-a-care" in every aspect of assisted living. Their technical expertise is unmatched—whether in medical care, social engagement, housekeeping, medication management, personal hygiene, or financial guidance. Every interaction reflects their deep commitment to their residents. One of the most impressive aspects of Legacy is their transparency and responsiveness. When I bring up a concern or suggestion, it is immediately addressed with professionalism and urgency. They tell it like it is, ensuring that families are informed and confident in their loved one’s care. While Legacy’s pricing is competitively reasonable, their performance is light-years ahead of any other facility in the area. The level of respect, attentiveness, and quality of life they provide is truly 1000% better than what we previously experienced. A heartfelt salute and sincere gratitude to each of the areas of expertise--nursing, med techs, housekeeping, dietary, food, concierge, etc ( Toni, Theresa, Debbie, Shasheena, MaryJane, Cindy, Josh and Joe)—your dedication and professionalism set a gold standard in senior care. Sincere thanks for your exemplary works. You are making a positive difference in the lives of your residents at Legacy. To those seeking assisted living services -- If you are searching for the best senior living provider in Wesley Chapel, look no further than Legacy at Highwoods Preserve. They are, without a doubt, the premier choice for exceptional senior living! Highly Recommended! John S Shackelford"

"Angels Senior Living at The Reserves Of Idlewild was a newer facility. I like the room for my wife. They were repainting everything. I like the lady who took me on a tour there, and it looked like they had everything that we needed. They even set us up with a preferred rehab specialist there, so it was pretty amazing. They had a rehab center. They had three meals a day. They had different levels of care. They had a bus to take people around, a beauty shop, entertainment, and activities. It was a modern facility."

"I can't say enough wonderful things about Angels senior Living at the Lodges. The staff is truly loving, caring and dedicated. They go above and beyond to make their residents feel valued and cared for. From the moment we first walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. The facilty is always clean and inviting and the environment truly feels like home. The staff is incredibly helpful, not only with the residents but also with family members. They're always available to answer questions or provide updates , which gives me so much peace of mind. I'm especially grateful for how they keep me informed about my Dad and Step Mom's care and daily activities. Knowing they're in such caring, compassionate hands means everything to me. I wouldn't trust my loved ones anywhere else. Angles Senior Living of Idlewild is exactly what the name says....... full of angels. Highly recommend!"
