Hudson Manor Assisted Living sits on Davis Islands in Tampa, Florida, inside the old Palmerin Hotel, where they've kept the historic look but updated the inside so everything feels new and elegant, with wide, bright spaces and private bathrooms, plus kitchenettes for folks who like the comfort of home, and each room comes fully furnished, set with air-conditioning, cable, WiFi, and an emergency pendant call system for peace of mind. The place holds up to 66 residents, and they've got a team of experienced healthcare staff, including Marilyn NP and Dr. Rathan, who handle everything from medication management and bathing help to incontinence care, diabetes support, and memory challenges, with assisted living, memory care, independent living, and nursing care all on offer, giving families lots of different options. Licensed Medication Technicians make sure meds are given safely, and there's a 12-16 hour nursing support system along with a 24-hour call button if anyone needs anything, day or night. Meals are served restaurant-style in a dining room that feels like a French bistro, where chefs prepare things like steak fillet, shrimp, and lobster, all with senior-friendly nutrition and changes for special diets, making every meal both safe and enjoyable.
People usually like how close Hudson Manor is to the Tampa Riverwalk, parks, downtown, hospitals, pharmacies, restaurants, and local shops, so seniors don't feel cut off from the city, and the staff is quick to arrange rides for trips and errands, with a small bus for community outings and shopping runs, so getting around isn't much trouble. The building has a computer center, fitness room, gaming room, wellness center, beauty salon, library, gardens, plenty of sunny outdoor spaces, and an active schedule where residents join crafts, exercise or Zumba, bingo, island sunset gatherings, happy hours with their families, and regular special trips out-sometimes it's group walks along Hillsborough Bay, art classes, dog beach visits, or just driving down to the Davis Island Marina for a coffee or ice cream. There's always something happening, and folks can join in as much or as little as they want, sometimes even running their own clubs or activities with friends. Housekeeping, linen service, phone, concierge, pet therapy, coffee bistro, Catholic services, social rooms, and an attentive staff working full-time all try to keep it comfortable and clean, so each person feels at home.
Hudson Manor also helps families who need a break, providing respite care with temporary stays for seniors, plus special programs for in-house physical, speech, and occupational therapy, so residents get help to stay as healthy and active as possible. The mental wellness programs, staff support, and regular check-ins from nurses help catch problems early and provide a sense of safety. Hudson Manor's staff get a lot of praise for their honest, kind care and the way they create a community where people can still grow, make new friends, and hold onto their independence while getting the help they need. The community has won awards like Best Assisted Living Facility in South Tampa, and the focus stays on comfort, safety, and giving seniors a positive, engaging place to live, all with the mix of comfort, old-fashioned charm, and modern convenience.
