Canterbury Tower Tampa is a non-profit nursing home that offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and memory care services, and they pay special attention to post-operative recovery, stroke rehabilitation, and care for Alzheimer's and dementia, so folks who need long-term care and post-acute care have options here, and the place has had recent renovations that make things more comfortable and useful, plus they offer private and semi-private accommodations in their Health Center for different rehabilitation and health needs. The staff dedicates themselves to care, especially for people with neurological conditions like stroke and dementia, and they also help with music and pet therapy, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and have all sorts of engaging activities and gentle routines to keep up spirits, and they make sure to have security and emergency response in place-like a nurse call system and 24-hour monitored alert systems. There are assisted living options for a secure, stress-free lifestyle, and they take pride in being a supportive, welcoming community with beautiful outdoor spaces like gardens, a winding river, lakes, and peaceful woods for residents to enjoy quiet moments or group outings.
Residents can use one- or two-bedroom apartments with kitchens, cable, and internet, along with disability access and controlled entry, and if someone likes a little more company, there are also efficiencies, studios, and two-bedroom townhomes, so everyone has a choice that might fit. There are plenty of shared amenities: two swimming pools-one stays heated all year, lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, a fitness center, a well-lit library, a community clubhouse with a fireplace, and a card room, plus an auditorium and theater where folks can play bingo, take OLLI classes, or join in group discussions. The grounds have lovely landscaping with tropical plants, inviting courtyards, and big patios, so people get to see as much of the water and bright gardens as they like, and there are sweeping views of Hillsborough Bay.
The dining area features different spots like the Canterbury Club dining room, Mona Lisa Café, and Parker Wood Grill by the bay, staffed by people who get to know the residents, and transportation is available for doctors' appointments, shopping, and even group trips for theater outings or meals at noted restaurants, which makes things easier for those who don't drive anymore. Every room is ready for computers and has basic cable and phone service, and the community offers on-site management and maintenance, with security like gated parking and good emergency systems in place.
They provide health and personal care, hospice or palliative care, adult day care, Alzheimer's and dementia services, and partner with other services like elder law attorneys, funeral and burial arrangements, and senior referral options, and there are even professional guardians if folks need them. Residents can get their hair cut with the barber or beautician services, use personal laundry, and relax knowing that the staff focuses on comfort, routines, and quality of life, and with both advanced healthcare services and a busy activities calendar, it often feels like folks stay as active or relaxed as they want, because the choices are always there.
