Discovery Village At Tampa Palms sits in New Tampa, close to shopping, entertainment, and health services, and you'll find it's a brand-new, state-of-the-art community with 105 apartments for Supervised Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care all under one roof, so folks who want to stay in one place as their needs change can do that, and there's staff around the clock, with nurses and aides always available if anything comes up. People living here can bring their pets, which makes things feel more like home, and the apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, with safety bars, roll-in showers, and accessible vanities in the bathrooms, plus bedrooms with soft carpet, comfortable beds and cozy nightstands, while the living rooms have nice couches, stylish chairs, TVs, and lots of natural light. If someone likes to cook or just sit at the counter, the kitchens have granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the dining areas seat two, but there's also a big elegant dining room and private rooms for special meals, all decorated with teal napkins and dark wood beams overhead, and you'll notice patterned carpets and an outdoor pool area with comfy seats, umbrellas, and easy access, so folks can enjoy the Tampa weather.
Residents join in all sorts of activities and outings thanks to a busy calendar that includes day trips, games, movies in a plush theater especially for Memory Care, happy hours, fitness classes in the gym with free weights and machines, plus events like themed parties and spontaneous social gatherings, and the facility has Bailey's Bistro, a business office managed by Patricia Batalla, and a beauty shop for hair and manicures, so you don't have to go far if you need a trim or just want to feel pampered. There's a resident wellness center, therapy pool, chapel, computer area, library, arts and crafts room, media center, and, for those who enjoy music, a common space with a grand piano and high ceilings, and you'll often find people chatting in the sitting areas, some playing billiards or watching TV in the activity room. The team here includes Executive Director Rebecca Swanson, Senior Lifestyle Counselor Bradley Purazzo, and Marketing Manager Lindsay Irwin, all trained to make sure things run smoothly, and there are professionally trained health and wellness staff who get to know residents and help with daily needs, plus a 24-hour concierge service if help's needed anytime.
Discovery Village uses its own programs like Sensations Dining, Celebrations Activities, Dimensions Health & Fitness, and Expressions Concierge, and there's a focus on memory care with the SHINE® Memory Care program in a safe, welcoming part of the building that's set up for people with Alzheimer's or similar troubles, so families know their loved ones can get extra attention. The community offers continuing care, skilled nursing for those who might need more medical attention, supervised independent living for folks who can manage mostly on their own, and lots of assisted living support, and if you need regular or short-term respite care, that's available too. They offer scheduled transportation for doctor's visits and outings, plus things like weekly housekeeping, maintenance, laundry, brain and memory fitness activities, special programs for military veterans, and lots of outdoor garden space to relax. In short, Discovery Village At Tampa Palms brings together housing, personal care, and a range of activities so seniors can live in comfort in a neighborhood that's close to everything they might want or need, and the facility keeps an eye on making daily life easy and safe for its residents.
