While we weren’t visiting Westminster Shores as residents or guests, we ended up there in quite an unexpected way—after getting stranded in a storm on the water! We were cold, soaked, and stressed, but the staff welcomed us with unbelievable kindness and care. They offered us dry towels, a warm place to rest, access to clean restrooms, and even helped us coordinate transportation back to our side of town while we waited for Sea Tow.

While we weren’t visiting Westminster Shores as residents or guests, we ended up there in quite an unexpected way—after getting stranded in a storm on the water! We were cold, soaked, and stressed, but the staff welcomed us with unbelievable kindness and care. They offered us dry towels, a warm place to rest, access to clean restrooms, and even helped us coordinate transportation back to our side of town while we waited for Sea Tow. The facility itself is absolutely beautiful, but what truly stood out was the hospitality and heart of the people there. Thank you, Westminster Shores, for turning a stressful day into a blessing! We truly washed up on the right shore!!

The place is so quiet TRAFFIC NOISE IS UNHEARD OF. Sunsets over the Bayou are suitable for framing. The maintenance department keeps everything on an even keel (wind<130 mph).

I love living here.

Westminster Shores Planned Living Community in St. Petersburg Fl. recently brought a group of their residents out sailing with Dolphin landings Charter Boat Center on St. Pete Beach.The outing was so very well organized, and the residents had a wonderful time! We enjoyed working with their Residents Lifestyle dept. to make this sail happen and we look forward to more charters in the future with Westminster Shores.What a great community serving our senior residents population in sunny St. Pete! Thanks again to your Livestyle asst. Scott!

I love that jobs

My wife and I had a wonderful sail under Captain Scott at the helm. He got us comfortably settled and then spent the next two hours looking for dolphins and sharing his detailed knowledge of Tampa Bay. We very much enjoyed the experience and are so happy he has joined the staff at Westminster Shores. Phil and Suzy

Went on a 2 hour sailing adventure with Captain Scott, one of our Lifestyles leads. Westminster Shores frequently sets up great day trips for us to participate in and this was an exceptional day on the water. We got to see the area from off shore as well as dolphins. Scott did a great job navigating while telling us all about the area we live in. Educational and fun at the same time. What a great place to live.

I’ve lived here over three years and am very pleased we moved here. We are well cared for in independent living with many activities and learning opportunities. Maintenance responds quickly to any requests- including changing light bulbs! Hurricane cleanup is swift. The beauty is unequalled - walking on the seawall, observing bird island, or just watching ships on the bay! Food options are good but everyone desires his or her favorites cooked just for them. Improvement is clear. The very best part of living here is the people! It’s a family in so many ways. People help each other and share in joy or challenges.
