Tampa Gardens Senior Living

Food smells and looks delicious and most seem to be enjoying it. Apartment size is perfect and even in the assisted living side. Memory care side is also large. Cleanliness over all is good and we have only had a couple of issues again with night staff not picking up or putting things away.

Great Staff & Residence

Staff and residence are very nice and attentive but they only have one elevator for the residents to use, apartments are a little small and the facility itself is a little outdated because of it's age.

We have live music regularly, painting, bingo, arm chair traveling and o

Welcoming community. Our experience has been mostly positive

Activities are good. Many to choose from. Unfortunately they were without their van for several months so no off campus trips were available. Now that the van is back they only have a weekly trip to one of the local stores (Walmart, Target, Publix, etc). One of the reasons we chose Tampa Gardens was due to their outings to area attractions. (Animal shelter, aquarium, etc). None of those are offered any longer. Food doesn't seem as good as when my mom first got there. That could just be her though. Dining room alw

We appreciate all feedback and apologize if we have not fully met your expectations. We tend not to take trips during the heat of the summer, but want you to be on the lookout for a schedule of outings starting in the fall. Thanks for your kind words about the staff and the dining room. Your helpful comments about housekeeping and outings will be shared with local and regional management as training improvements.

Lived at Tampa Gardens for over a year

Well, I think it used to be a hotel so it's not institutional looking. It's kind a like a hotel lobby and a great dining area and then I feel like my studio was like a little hotel room upstairs.! Lots of activities we have a great serving staff and dining room and lots of choices of food. We have a lot of activities art .. live music ..crafts, bingo, celebrations, movies in a cinema room, family nights, celebrations trivia and games.... just a great variety come in, etc. !! Also, we have a bus and we have outings
