Good Hope of Pinellas sits in a quiet, pretty neighborhood in Pinellas Park, Florida, and makes a point to offer a warm and supportive place for seniors who need assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing, and that includes respite stays for folks who just need a little help for a short while, and they'll let residents bring pets, which is always nice for keeping company, and their staff is around 24 hours a day for help anytime, whether it's an emergency or just a small need. You'll find a Keywest interior theme inside, and there are plenty of indoor common areas, so residents can visit or relax, and they have a range of activities onsite like Wii, horseshoes, music, bingo, a computer room, and a library, so there's often some way to stay busy, and the place has devotional services both in the building and offsite if someone likes to practice their faith in a group, and they organize other social or recreation events offsite too. The community takes care of meals for everyone, and meals are managed with care for folks needing help with nutrition or diabetes, plus there's daily access to cable television, so there's always something to watch, and people can step outside for a smoke if they want since outdoor smoking is allowed.
The facility is wheelchair accessible, and showers are easy for those who need extra support; they also provide non-ambulatory care with standby assistance, even for residents who are an elopement risk or who need help moving from a bed to a wheelchair, and they accept people aged 55 and up. Health care services cover quite a bit, with support like clinic care, help from physicians, and staff trained in internal medicine, but also short-term rehabilitation, diabetic care (like blood sugar checks), memory care, respiratory and infusion therapy, surgical recovery, tracheotomy care, and even self-managed incontinence. For those living more independently, there are options for that too, but always with the support of the experienced staff, who treat people with respect and recognize everyone's dignity and their rights as residents, and the staff is known for truly keeping the place clean and taking good care of everybody there.
Transportation services are available if someone needs to get to an appointment or outing, and the grounds, while not large, do feel secure, with special attention to safety throughout. With about 43 residents, Good Hope of Pinellas feels both busy and close-knit, and as a locally owned community-based organization, they focus on keeping up a quality of life for every resident, helping folks grow and stay well, whether that means physical, social, or psychological support. They do their best to offer choices and opportunities for residents to enjoy themselves, connect with others, and receive the kind of care each person really needs.
