Canterbury Tower is an assisted living residence located in Tampa, Florida, designed to support individuals who find daily living tasks increasingly challenging due to age or health concerns. Recognizing how difficult the transition from complete independence to accepting assistance can be, Canterbury Tower prioritizes making this move as comfortable, dignified, and seamless as possible. Residents are encouraged to maintain as much independence as they wish, with attentive staff available to help with those aspects of daily living that have become more difficult.
At Canterbury Tower, residents can choose between two thoughtfully designed floor plans to suit their preferences and needs. The furnished Studio residences provide a single-room layout for ease and convenience, featuring private bathrooms with shower facilities, a television, personal safes and armoires, along with a mini refrigerator and microwave. These units are furnished, but still offer enough space for residents to bring a few of their favorite pieces of furniture for a more personal touch. For those seeking more space, the One Bedroom Apartments present a separate bedroom, living room, and hallway. These apartments include a small counter area with a sink, mini refrigerator, and microwave, as well as a television, shelving, and storage. The bathrooms and bedrooms are enhanced with motion-activated, floor-level night lighting to help illuminate pathways at night. These apartments are unfurnished, allowing residents the flexibility to bring in treasured belongings and make the space truly their own.
The social fabric at Canterbury Tower is vibrant and inclusive, with numerous opportunities for engagement and enrichment. Dedicated staff members organize regular outings to destinations such as movies, museums, and parks, and facilitate a wide variety of group activities to ensure each day remains lively and engaging. For those who prefer a less structured approach to their free time, there is a welcoming social room with cozy seating for puzzles, games, and conversation, as well as a quiet nook ideal for reading or peaceful relaxation. Non-denominational church services are also available for residents interested in attending.
Dining at Canterbury Tower is an experience in itself, with three daily meals prepared and planned by the in-residence chef and nutritionist. Meals are served restaurant-style in a cheerful dining room that provides a pleasant atmosphere for residents to enjoy their food in the company of others. Around-the-clock staff assistance on the Assisted Living Floor ensures that help is always available when needed, while a dedicated social director further enriches the community with daily opportunities for interaction and activity.
Additional amenities and services at Canterbury Tower offer residents the opportunity to make their lives as comfortable and fulfilling as possible. An onsite salon is available for an additional cost. Those who wish to have a small animal companion may do so, subject to approval, for a one-time fee, with extra fees applying if daily dog care and walking is required. While staff are available to provide various forms of support, residents are responsible for physician and therapist services, personal care items, groceries, as well as prescribed and over-the-counter medications, and private Wi-Fi.
Through every aspect of its operations, Canterbury Tower focuses on creating an environment where residents can age with dignity and enjoyment, surrounded by supportive staff and a lively community.
