Florida Gulf Coast Apartments sits right in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Tampa at 816 W Linebaugh Ave, Tampa, FL 33612, and has been around since 1967, helping seniors who need low-income housing, offering a safe and steady place for people who're usually 62 and older, and the nonprofit has Jack R Nesmith as the principal officer, along with directors like Subhakar Medidi, Ron Milliner, Anthony Johnson, Lee Edmister, and Fred Edmister, who's the president, and the facility mainly helps seniors through Section 8 (202) housing, which means people with fewer resources can live comfortably and receive certain supportive services. The apartments are all non-smoking, and in the buildings with more than one floor, you'll find elevators for easy movement, and every community has at least one accessible unit for seniors who use a wheelchair or need extra help. Every residence has fire alarms and smoke detectors because safety is a big focus. There's assisted living support for folks who need help with things like dressing, bathing, keeping up with medication, and other daily needs, and for people with conditions like dementia or Alzheimer's, there's memory care with therapies and a space designed just for their needs, so they can live as well and as happily as possible. Residents can join community activities, outings, and a meal program where they get one or two nutritious meals a day, and there's housekeeping and laundry services if someone wants a more hands-off lifestyle. Those who like living independently have that option, too, with maintenance-free apartments and a social environment if they want to join in, and while the facility doesn't mention things like pools or special outdoor scenery, it puts a lot of effort into making sure staff are kind, responsive, and helpful, and residents' questions or worries get attention. Florida Gulf Coast Apartments gets recognized for engagement activities and a welcoming atmosphere, and even though there aren't a bunch of flashy extras, the basics like accessible units, elevators, on-site meals, fire safety, and supportive care stand out, and it's kept an active status for many years, focusing on steady service and quality care in the heart of Tampa.
Florida Gulf Coast Apartments
816 W Linebaugh Ave, Tampa, FL, 33612- Independent living
- Assisted living
Clean secure peaceful 62+ community
I live here and I'm very satisfied - clean, remodeled apartments with utilities (water, electricity, garbage) included and very reasonable rent. Staff are friendly and helpful, maintenance is quick, and the complex is well-maintained, secure (cameras) and peaceful for 62+ residents. Convenient to pool, golf, SFU, library, casino, airport and nearby shops with a good selection. Biggest downside is the strict visitor policy (grandchildren not allowed) and a few nosy neighbors; otherwise I highly recommend it.
