Presbyterian Villas of Tampa sits at 4011 South Manhattan Avenue in Tampa, Florida, and offers affordable senior apartments for older adults who want options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, respite, and hospice care all in one place, and the way the community is built, with elevators and an accessible unit for mobility needs, means seniors with varying abilities can get around safely without climbing stairs all the time, plus the buildings make use of fire alarms, smoke detectors, and a non-smoking policy for safety and comfort. People can find spacious one-bedroom apartments-both 438 and 510 square feet, some with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and cable TV; residents use a laundry center, enjoy free Wi-Fi, and can stop by the well-stocked library or computer room, while the large multipurpose room, arts room, fitness center, movie theater, and outdoor walking paths offer space for exercise, music, and community gatherings just about every day, since community-sponsored activities are scheduled daily to help folks stay engaged with others and keep active.
The Villas delivers care that fits seniors' needs, so those who need extra help get assistance with things like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, while more independent folks can live with less daily support; there's a 24-hour call system, on-site supervision, and non-ambulatory and wheelchair-accessible features for people who need them. The dining program includes restaurant-style and all-day options, with meals prepared for different dietary needs, including allergies and diabetes, and the staff pays attention to keeping food both healthy and familiar, because eating well matters as we get older. There's also help with housekeeping, laundry, and move-in coordination, which takes a lot off the shoulders of residents and families, and the property hosts programs for family support, because keeping families involved matters.
Residents pay rent based on income, usually around 30% of what people bring in each month, since Presbyterian Villas of Tampa is a Section 8 (202) community, and it's aimed at very low-income elderly people who need supportive services to stay well and safe; the facility is recognized for following fair housing laws, welcoming everyone, and benefitting from award-winning care quality and a friendly, kind atmosphere that tends to get noticed. People staying here can access pharmacies, parks, and restaurants nearby, and use several transportation options for appointments or errands out in Tampa's Bayside West neighborhood. Pets are allowed, but details vary, and some apartment or property features like parking, entranceways, or utility information aren't always published, but the main thing is the property was built in 1971 and has more than 200 units, so it feels more like a community than just a place to live, and everyday life stays busy with activities, outdoor programs, games, fitness, art, movies, music, and other chances to meet neighbors and staff who are described as helpful and joyful, which can make a difference when choosing a new home in later years.
