The Goldton at St. Petersburg is an assisted living facility with memory care for people who need extra support and help with dementia or Alzheimer's. The building's been family-owned and run since 1965, and residents get assistance from a team on-site all day and night, with a licensed nurse and an on-call physician available. There are several types of rooms and floor plans to choose from, including apartments designed for comfort and ease. Residents can join exercise classes in the fitness center, get physical therapy in a room with parallel bars and a treatment table, or relax in common areas decorated with nice artwork and lots of seating. Housekeeping is done every week, which takes away a lot of the chores, and the grounds have sidewalks, porches, and gardening spots for walking and enjoying the outside.
The community serves different cultures, since staff speak English, Spanish, and Creole, and there's a dining program called Freedom Dining, where three chef-inspired meals are served daily in a restaurant-style room, with private dining also available. There are snacks and drinks throughout the day, and the Memory Care dining area is quiet and welcoming, with stained-glass windows to let in soft light. For people needing help, staff assist with bathing, dressing, and grooming, and medication is managed safely, with an emergency response system in place. The grounds are landscaped and kept clean, and there's a salon on-site with hair dryers, styling chairs, and a vanity, so residents can easily get haircuts and other beauty treatments.
The Goldton at St. Petersburg gives transportation for outings and doctor visits, and offers activities and programs, including The Academy, so people can stay busy, keep learning, and socialize. The community has a chapel space for residents, a barber shop, a game room, and multi-purpose spaces for events or gatherings. Memory care gets special focus with tailored activities and a secure environment. Technology is a big part of daily life too, as some apartments have smart features with Alexa and Speak2, which help residents stay informed and connected. Medical needs can be taken care of on-site, including concierge-style primary care in the resident's own apartment or elsewhere in the building.
Everyone can access comfortable, communal spaces indoors and out, and the staff give personalized help so residents can feel supported, independent, and relaxed. Executive Director Dolores Salazar leads the community. The goal's always to offer a clean, safe place where seniors can thrive and enjoy a sense of comfort without worrying about home upkeep or managing health alone.
