Martha's Retirement Home sits in the Highland Grove area of St. Petersburg, Florida, about 1.18 miles from Northside Hospital, and you'll find it close to health care, shopping, and churches, which makes things a bit easier for folks living there. The place runs as a retirement home, independent living, and assisted living community all in one, which means they offer several types of care, like board and care, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and even temporary respite care for folks who need a short break. There's a neighborhood set-up here where rooms are cozy and grouped in small homes, so people know their neighbors and staff can really focus on everyone. It's easy to feel at home with their friendly team watching out and the admin and nursing folks always around to help with medication, bathing, dressing, or getting around, but never overbearing.
Martha's has all sorts of comfort amenities like fast Wi-Fi, transportation and parking, a hair salon, a little movie theater, a library, and even a chapel and bird sanctuary right on site. Apartments come private or shared, and they're roomy enough for what people need. The meals are made for all kinds of dietary needs, and care goes from helping with daily things to providing more support for those facing memory loss or needing round-the-clock nursing care, including wound care and rehab. The activity calendar has trips, events, and groups going on, and Martha's calls some of their programs by special names, which helps keep things clear and a bit more personal, and that's important for seniors who want to stay busy or engaged. The environment stays safe, supervised, and homelike, with simple design aimed at helping people with confusion or wandering. The team looks out for everyone, trying to keep folks as independent as they can manage while offering the extra help when it's needed. The mid-sized community keeps things neighborly-people see familiar faces and build connections. You'll find all care levels here, from folks who just want their own place and a social life, to those who need independent or assisted living, to those who call for full nursing, all under one roof, and the main focus stays on comfort and personal support.
