Hanna Oaks Center sits quietly in the Seminole Heights East neighborhood of Tampa, where big oak trees make the surroundings feel peaceful and you'll find a mix of apartments, condos, and townhomes in the same area, though this place itself focuses on senior living and care rather than being just another apartment building, and you won't hear much about fancy extras but more about meeting daily needs with comfort. The Center includes 135 beds in furnished or unfurnished apartments with both studio and semi-private options, offers assistance to adults 55 and older, and allows some pets so residents don't have to leave everything behind. The building's got standard safety features like smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, and emergency alert systems, and it's all licensed under AL #61 with the Agency for Health Care Administration.
At Hanna Oaks, folks will find staff on duty day and night, including a registered nurse who manages and owns the facility, plus an on-site physician and trained aides to help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or managing medicines. There's memory care for people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, with special programs to help those residents stay engaged and safe, and there's a unit for traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, which you don't always find everywhere. The Center takes pride in offering scheduled visits from occupational and physical therapists, as well as skilled nursing care right in the building.
Meals are served three times a day in the dining room, restaurant-style, with special diets covered, like diabetes-friendly or allergy-sensitive menus, and snacks are always there if someone gets hungry. There's laundry and housekeeping for linens and rooms, barber and beauty shop services, and even in-house haircuts. The recreation room and social lounges offer places to relax, play cards or games, and join in on the busy calendar of community events, with regular clubs, movie nights, music programs, fitness and wellness activities, and even outdoor walking paths when weather's nice. Transportation's arranged for medical appointments, errands, or outings, and parking is available for those who need it.
The apartments come with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and you can choose a furnished or unfurnished space depending on what you want to bring with you. There's a movie theater, library, game and arts rooms, and quiet spots to read or chat with friends, with plenty of natural light in the indoor and outdoor common areas. Accessibility's a given, with special attention paid to keeping things easy to get around for those who use walkers or wheelchairs. Residents find the staff helpful and kind, which adds to the welcoming, homelike feel, and everyone's encouraged to stay as independent as possible, trying new things or sticking to familiar routines as they see fit.
The center's all-inclusive pricing covers care, meals, utilities, transportation, and services, with an entry fee required. All residents get the benefits of federal housing protections, with respect for gender identity and orientation. Hanna Oaks Center may not have flashy features, but it covers the basics well, focusing on comfort, safety, and a sense of community among seniors needing care, memory support, or simply a quiet place to live with company, while always keeping trained staff close by and activities within reach.
