Pinecrest Place

Pinecrest Place sits in Lithia, just outside Tampa, Florida, and is a small assisted living home with room for up to 16 residents, so folks here really get to know each other and form a close community, which is a comfort to both the people living here and their families because you always see a familiar face, and the caregivers are highly trained and give round-the-clock help with everything from medication management to daily activities like bathing, dressing, and moving from bed to chair, and the place has board and care, assisted living, and memory care for those who need specialized support, especially for Alzheimer's or dementia, with a secure environment and memory-enhancing activities. People get three healthy meals every day, with options for low sodium, no sugar, gluten-free, and other special diets, and snacks and drinks are available any time, and the dining room is homestyle so everyone can eat together, feel at home, and folks who need it get custom meal plans, and the staff helps with cleaning, grooming, laundry, and keeping rooms tidy since they do daily housekeeping and change linens, towels, sheets, and such. The rooms come furnished and have cable TV, WiFi, a kitchenette or full kitchen, and residents can use their own phones, while the whole building is set up for wheelchair access, plus there are safety alerts in case someone needs help quick, with special care for those needing diabetic help, high-acuity nursing, wound care, and help for non-ambulatory or incontinent folks, and skilled nursing comes with round-the-clock medical help, wound care, and therapy services for those who need more medical support. The staff arranges rides to doctor visits, shopping, or outings, and there's plenty to do with movie nights, walks in the garden, community and resident-run activities, scheduled events, a beauty salon, and spaces for visiting with friends and family. The environment feels warm and homelike, and the team wants everyone to keep as much independence as possible, with just the right support and attention when it's needed, so families get peace of mind knowing someone's always looking out for their loved ones, meals and care are handled, and the whole place is set up to be safe, welcoming, and easy to call home.
