Westminster Shores sits on a peaceful 26-acre waterfront property with nice views of Tampa Bay, where you can sometimes spot dolphins and seabirds, and the community is in the Bahama Shores area of Saint Petersburg, so it's quiet but close to local shops and museums for outings. The place has a mix of care levels, everything from independent living and assisted living to memory care and skilled nursing, plus short-term stays and rehabilitation if that's needed, so older adults can find support whether they want to stay busy or need more help. Residents choose from different kinds of homes, like waterfront apartments, single-family villa homes on quiet streets, or opened-up one-bedroom units with granite countertops and custom cabinets.
Activities run daily, including fitness classes, creative arts, and group trips to local theaters and museums, and the "My W Life" program brings extra wellness classes, seasonal menus with soup and salad bars, and lifelong learning. The community runs restaurant-style dining with nice water views, casual grab-and-go cafés, and there's a wine bar for relaxing, a library for reading, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a salon, swimming pools, arts and crafts rooms, a chapel, movie theater, and a billiards room, and people spend time on outside patios and common areas or stroll along the water to watch boats. Safety's a focus, with features built into each apartment, and there's an elevator, parking, and laundry and housekeeping taken care of, as well as transportation for appointments and trips. There's 24-hour staff and nursing to help with daily needs, plus pharmacy services, home care, and personalized assistance depending on what each person needs, and staff try to keep things feeling warm and professional.
Special programs help people living with Alzheimer's or memory loss, and the place accepts different payment types, like long-term care insurance, private pay, and VA benefits. Westminster Shores got recognized by Newsweek in 2025 for high quality in continuing care. The community's sponsored by Westminster Communities of Florida, which is a not-for-profit group that's been around since the 1950s, and people can book a tour or look around by video from home. It's a spot that supports activity, wellness, good food, and comfort, with the peace of mind that extra help's always nearby if someone needs it.
