Wonderful place! Clean and friendly staff. They have activities for the guests and they love the atmosphere
caring hearts tampa has a great team of staff caring for the residents there. my mom has been there 4 years and love it. Not only does the staff treat her like family they treat the family like family. Jessica takes awesome care of my mom along with others. but she has definitely made moms stay there better because she has a infectious happy attitude which brings a smile to every one. but I will say all the staff works hard to take wonderful care of all the residents.
This Alf has the most attentive and caring staff. The residence get treated like family!
It has a great staff and a atmosphere.
Facility close to Catholic Church. Caring staff members. Nice quiet environment.
The place was sold. New owners are ok but don't know them. Breakfast gets a 4 but the rest gets a 3. The activities are unknown, our loved one does not participate. Yes, I would recommend the community to other families but it would depend on the person. My dad doesn't mind that it's a little old and rundown. He loves the trees and outdoor area. My mom would not like it. She is in a different facility.
Thank you for the excellent care of our family member. The family will always think of you as family. God Bless you.
