Independent Living Community in Pinellas County, Florida

My dad just arrived and I cannot express how grateful I am to have been put in contact with Pedro. The situation we found ourselves in contained multiple obstacles placed by those we trusted to help. We felt helpless and close to hopeless. Pedro and his team took control and help us more in 1 week than anyone has in 6 months! We are grateful and cannot Thank Pedro enough for his kindness, compassion and most importantly, for keeping his word!

My father-in-law is in here. There have been a lot of issues with him during the transition, but it is typical. It takes time. The people there are great with communication though from what i can tell. I like the facility, but he hates everything and that is typical because he has only been there 2 weeks. The staff was fantastic, and he is in a studio apartment there. As for the activities, I know that they had some kind of an Easter thing last Friday. Everything looks clean and nice. It did not have any bad odor like you usually get in nursing homes. The people are great from what I can tell. They have a hair salon, a theater room, and a library. They also have a bird sanctuary on the ground and a chapel. They have several different areas set up and places for residents to do things.

I have been a resident of Belleair Towers for 2 weeks now. The community is fine. It's quiet and its clean. It's a 1-bedroom apartment and it's a nice size. They also have studio and 2-room units. The staff was fine and they clean the rooms once a week. I had just gotten out of the hospital, so I'm not familiar with the amenities and activities yet. They set appointments and they have some concerts available. They provide 3 meals a day. You either have it delivered to your room or have it at the dining area.

I visited the Lake House in Largo. It's very nice and very open. There's stuff going on, it's not gloomy, and they have a beautiful place overlooking the lake in the back. You could sit out there on the screened-in porch -- it's not even a porch, it looked like a room. There are activities going on, too. When I was there, they were getting ready to do something. There were probably twelve people there sitting around. They were serving them lemonade.

Royal Palms is a beautiful facility and very up to date. But it was kind of cold, the staff wasn't warm and friendly, and we only saw a few residents. I didn't see that many people, and I didn't see that many smiles like I saw at the other place I toured. The rooms would have had overlooked the huge parking lot; they didn't have a nice view. The building itself was beautiful. The library was very small, and they only had one library.
