TLC Adult Day Care and Recreation Center sits at Suite J, 3970 Tampa Rd in Oldsmar, Florida, and serves Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties, and it's this family-owned and operated spot run by CEO Thomas Wingo where adults and seniors spend the day in a supervised and safe place. The staff offers breakfast, lunch, and snacks right at the center with meal choices for gluten-free, low or no sodium, no sugar, and vegan diets, which probably helps folks with special dietary needs feel a little more at ease, and there's always a new menu posted so everyone knows what's for mealtime. The center manages medicine schedules for safety, and families get regular updates on how their loved ones are doing with plenty of notes about daily experiences and milestones, so people feel like they know what's happening even if they can't be there every day. TLC is a community-focused program, and the staff, including bilingual team members, works with adults dealing with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, effects of strokes, dementia, depression, loneliness, chronic conditions, or who are just having trouble doing daily things on their own, and there are programs in place to help those coming out of hospitals get used to community life again.
There's Wi-Fi and cable TV in every room, and the rooms themselves look homey and relaxing without being fancy, so everyone feels comfortable right away, and the inside spaces are made for sitting together, talking, relaxing, or joining group activities. TLC puts a lot of energy into keeping people active, whether that's through art classes, music, happy hours, birthday parties, yoga and chair yoga, stretching, Tai Chi, Wii bowling, trivia, karaoke, gardening, or a walk down memory lane with reminiscence groups, and there's always someone planning the next event or celebration-sometimes there's even pirate parties or Cinco de Mayo fun. In addition, folks play bingo, dominoes, chess, do card games and puzzles, take part in movie days, pet therapy, dance and music therapy, golf and bowling themed contests, and join the TLC FUN CLUB for regular social time, and it all happens with guidance from the activity director.
The center provides adult day care as a more affordable option than full-time nursing, letting caregivers work or take a break while their loved ones have structure, entertainment, and supervision during the week. TLC's hours are 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday, and transportation services are available for those who need a ride to and from the center, which probably comes in handy for folks who don't drive anymore. The staff always aims to be friendly and attentive, and they take care of people like family, trying to make sure everyone feels welcomed and cared for, loved ones feel at peace, and no one is ever rushed or left alone.
The building is kept neat and clean, the mood tries to stay uplifting, and there's always a full-time activity director working to offer choices that suit all interests. TLC Adult Day Care and Recreation Center is licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, holds BBB accreditation with an A+ rating, and accepts almost every payment method from cash to credit cards and ACH, which takes some stress out of the process for families. Every effort at TLC goes toward making sure adults with different backgrounds and needs enjoy a safe, social day, with health and emotional support that works alongside the needs of caregivers, and with social media posts and clear communication, families stay connected to the daily life of their loved ones.
