Nursing Home Communities in Tarpon Springs, FL

"I have visited this center several times and find the staff very friendly. It is always clean and the residents are smiling and happy. One thing that always stands out is the nursing staff and resident interaction which is pleasant when you have to think about placing your loved one in a nursing home. They will keep you informed and help you every step of the way, highly recommended "

"My dad moved in to Sunshine Christian Homes because he likes the people that he's lived around. He knew a lot of the workers, and everybody was really nice so he'd rather live there. The staff is really nice and helped us out specially after he moved in and everything. His room is alright. By the time he's moved over there, the whole COVID thing put him on lockdown. It's in a good location in a quiet and nice area. Their outdoor spaces are nice, you see a lot of the residents walking around. The assisted living area had more stuff inside but they have outside areas where people could sit, and they had a fountian area in there. It was really beautiful. From what he told us, he wasn't a fan of the food."

"I visited St. Mark Village a month ago. Everything I saw was perfect. The only reason I didn't move there was because there is a one-time move-in fee of $110,000 and I can't come up with that. The staff was friendly and caring. The food was excellent. The building looked good to me."

"My Mom was a resident of Trinity Regional for four years. She was treated with dignity and kindness by the staff. The facility was clean and quite pleasant. The food was not terrible just typical institution food. I'm not sure we can expect better than that unless the facility has an executive chef. LOL Seriously, I would recommend this facility to any one who wants good care. Sadly, my Mom has passed away at 94, but I will always be grateful for the care she received at Trinity Regional."

"My father was at ProMedica Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation (Palm Harbor). It was very clean compared to another place that we had him at. He came a long way from the time he was in the hospital to rehab. He did really well and improved a lot. They were very, very good. They were there for him. Like all of them, it takes a little bit to answer sometimes, but they weren't real long on their answering. It seemed like a really good place. He had his own room in rehab, and it was like a good-sized bedroom with his own walk-in closet. He had a TV in there, a phone, a bed, a chair, and a little table next to the bed. They made it look nice. In the long-term area, he had to share a room, but it was a fairly good-sized room. It was bright and clean, and the floors were always clean, never tacky or dirty. You never smelled the urine smell or anything. All the nurses were very accommodating and helpful. I think they did a great job. They had PT and OT, and they had bingo and games they played. In the long-term, a lot of them were older than my father, and they would be sitting in their wheelchairs with their heads down sometimes. The therapists in there would try to get them going. The rehab and long-term were in the same building. Rehab is in one wing and long-term is over into another wing. They had nice dining rooms, even for long-term people. They had a living room, a hairdresser, and a courtyard that you could sit out in. We didn't have any complaints with them. They did great. The staff was wonderful. The food seemed to be pretty good. I didn't actually taste it, but I could see what my father was eating. You had to sign in and check your temperature and all that stuff, and wear a mask at the time. I don't know if they lifted that or not at the long-term. The people were pleasant and they responded well. The activities were up to the people. They would make a lot of people try them. They had him go into the big cafeteria a good couple of weeks before he was going home. They were trying to see how he would do going into socializing, but he's not a real social person. He's got Medicaid, so he was able to stay longer. Otherwise, he might not have been able to. There's no way he could have afforded it if it wasn't for that."

"I've been living in Stratford Court of Palm Harbor. The cost is getting a little too high for me, so I have to go. My budget is telling me that it's time to cut down. I will be 93, and the older you get, the more people you're going to need to wait on you, and you have to pay these people out of your pocket because Medicare doesn't pay for everything, so I have to watch my budget. Outside of that, I have no complaints about this place. This place is gorgeous. You can sit on the front porch and spend the whole night there if you want talking to people. I am in the independent living section, but they have both independent and assisted living. I love everything about it. There is nothing that I can say about this community that is not good. Everything is excellent. First of all, they are near everything. You can walk to Publix if you want to, and some of the people who live here do that. They also have two Walmarts. One that the residents here could walk to if they want, because it's right here on East Lake Road, and the other one is also only about a 10-minute drive from here. It's conveniently located with everything. They have all kinds of activities seven days a week. They have everything that you can think of. They have a restaurant that provides you with two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. I'm only moving because I am paying for stuff that I don't need. I am paying for food, but I don't go to the restaurant because I cook my own stuff. When I asked them about it, they said it was on the contract that I signed, and I can't blame them for that. Once you sign a contract, that's it. They have a mini golf course and a swimming pool where they do exercises. If you want to eat outside and you want to have your dinner outside in the canopy, they have a different charge for that, and you have to make reservations. They have a night guard, the ambulance is here in and out, and we are near Mease Hospital, so they have everything. The bank is here, the post office, and the drugstore. The drug store also delivers. They deliver my medicine when I need it, and that's one of the things that most people like. The staff is great. For example, you need to have something fixed in the bathroom, and you need a maintenance man, the person comes immediately and fixes it. If you have a problem at night, you could just call downstairs, and the guard comes up and looks at it, tries to fix it, and then he sends the maintenance man the following day to check on it. We have excellent service here. The staff here work so hard, and the activity committee is always working. We have a calendar that is already out for the month of July. They have activities from day one to day 31. All day long, there are activities going on. Some of them you have to sign up for, like the bus trips to different places that they take you on. Even the food is very good. The only reason I don't eat in the restaurant is that I don't feel like having to get dressed to go there to eat when I can eat here in my house. Everybody said that the food is very good. You could see it from the number of people that they have in the restaurant. They get in line at 3:00 in the afternoon because dinner begins at 3:00 and goes all the way until 6:00. The breakfast is from 7:00 in the morning until 9:00, and the food is very good. They have buffets, and on Sundays they have what they call a brunch. You can have drinks and whatever you want, and you wait on yourself because it's buffet-style. It's the best way because this community is very large. They have about 300 people living here. They offer Happy Hour, which is at night from 6:00. On Friday we're going to have a big party because it's July 4th, and they're going to have all kinds of things from 11:00 in the morning, all the way to about 6:00 or 8:00 at night. They have parties for every holiday like St. Patrick's Day, Easter Sunday, Hanukkah, and even the Jewish holidays. They celebrate every holiday according to the religion of the family. These activities are so excellent that nobody ever goes to bed. They are always celebrating. The building is 30 years old because it used to be a hotel, but it's in perfect shape. It looks brand-new because they keep it up very well. The outside is also so pretty, and people come to take pictures because they have beautiful scenery outside. In the back, we have the water, the Little River, as I call it. It's also very good. If you have to be evacuated, they also have a program for that. They have everything set, and they have meetings telling you what you need to do. The price you pay goes according to the floor you're on. I am on the first floor, so I'm paying a lot of money, but the other people who are on the higher floors pay less. However, if I get sick to the point that I need other help, they would need to transfer me to another house, which is assisted living, where you have assistance 24/7. You only get transferred to the other place if they feel it's necessary."

"My mother-in-law is now at Countryside Rehab & Healthcare Center. I would recommend them. She has been there for three weeks now. I chose it because it was close to my home, and the doctor that saw my mother-in-law in the hospital, that's one of the places where he practices. The overall experience has been very nice. It's like they're a family. It is very clean. The dining hall is always very cheery looking with either flowers on the table or something. It was decorated for the 4th of July. The staff are very friendly, very attentive, and very professional."

"I was in Life Care Center New Port Richey for rehab after I had my stroke two years ago. They were very good. They had good, nutritious food and portions that was right for you. You wouldn't be hungry there. There was a lot of physical activity. I did some weight lifting and walked a lot. They had markers to tell you how much walking you've done. It was a very good place that didn't smell and was very clean and very nice. I was a cook for 25 years, and they actually let me help out with cooking a couple of times one day they were shorthanded. The staff was very good and very helpful. When you call, they come; I did not have to wait. My daughter asked if my little dog could visit me, and they said as long as he had his rabies shots and he wasn't aggressive, she could bring him in to visit. There were plenty of activities. The grounds were beautiful, so you could walk around outside."

"My uncle was in this facility and he was very happy with the care. He did great in rehab and is still doing good at home. Id say they did a good job. "

"At age 89 my mother’s residency went from her home to Consulate of NPR in August 2018. She was so blessed to have a variety of wonderful care takers for the last 2 years. From RN’s ( Barbara, Josh, Lenny etc) to CNA’s (Tony, Jessica, Melissa, Roy, Patty, Ann, and many more) they all treated mom like family. Mom was always, always clean, dressed nicely, and they even did her hair up with a ribbon/Bow, sometimes braiding it. Everyone. Was so helpful, and kind to all our family as well.” Any time” we came to visit we were always welcomed. I thank these hero’s for their love and support to her. She passed in August and will be missed by family and her good friends from Consulate. "

"The Palm Garden of Clearwater was fine. The staff was friendly. The facility was all on one level. It was clean and didn't have an odor or anything."

"Rooms a bit small.... Staff out standing!!! Leonee; Claudia; so devoted, professional; and kind!!!!"

"My mother never wanted to go to a nursing home. After a previous stroke, she went to a different facility and was absolutely miserable. After this stroke, she said that she was happy here and wanted to stay. That made me happy that she was being well taken care of and more importantly, happy that she was there. She really enjoys the socialization, dancing, and activities that they do. Keep up the great job, guys. "

"I spent 6 wks here after a horrible car accident. The staff was helpful and took care of my needs. Without them I don’t know what I would have done. "
