Hilda's Home Care Assisted Living Facility sits at 8812 Bayaud Drive in Tampa, Florida, and offers care for adults who need help with daily tasks. You'll find a small setting with only six assisted living units, so folks get more personal attention from staff, and the place feels a lot like a home with studio spaces, one-bedroom apartments, and shared rooms, each one you can set up with your own furniture if you want to bring what you're used to. There are private bathrooms, wheelchair accessible showers and tubs, plus in-room emergency alert systems to help everyone stay safe. The facility's licensed in Florida under number 11663.
This place helps with moving around, bathing, dressing, using the restroom, and has special programs for physical therapy, and if you need transfer help, staff can do that with regular or mechanical lifts, either as standby or with one or two helpers. They help manage medications, work with your healthcare providers, and have on-call doctors and nurses, with pharmacy services, diabetic care including shots and blood sugar checks, and continence care for those who need it. Folks who wander or have memory problems-like dementia or Alzheimer's-get care in a secured, separate memory care building, which uses alarms and bracelets to help prevent residents from getting lost. Hilda's also handles behavioral needs, even for those who sometimes act out or get aggressive, and keeps awake staff on duty round the clock.
If you need a short break or want to try things out, Hilda's offers respite and hospice care. Food's an important part of life here; there's a chef preparing meals once or twice a day, and the kitchen can do kosher, vegetarian, or special diets, with help for eating if it's needed. There's a big dining room for meals, plus you can cook snacks in the community kitchen. For cleaning, you get housekeeping, help with laundry, regular trash pickup, and move-in help if your health needs change. Hilda's also has visiting therapists for podiatry, speech, and occupational needs.
Outside and inside, besides the living rooms and garden, there are walking paths and enclosed grounds for safe time outdoors. Social events fill the calendar with arts and crafts, movie nights, and group activities, helping everyone get to know each other and keep busy, and people can keep small pets if they like. For those who still drive or have visitors, there's parking, and rides to shopping or appointments are available, though sometimes for an extra fee. Each apartment comes with high-definition TV if you want it, and you'll see things like a barbershop, a wellness center, and a pharmacy on site. Staff regularly assess what each resident needs as time goes on, and Hilda's supports people as they age, allowing many to stay put even when health situations change. The community is quiet and close to Tampa's shops, doctors, parks, and banks, so it's not hard for families to visit or for residents to get out for errands.
