Replying to Gloria B. There is a big difference between the ALF and the independent living . This…read moreis important! I'm delighted to hear that your family had a positive experience with Stratford Court. At Stratford Court of Palm Harbor, there are two distinct sections: independent living and assisted living. You didn't specify which one your mother was in. Our encounter was with the assisted living section. If your mom was in assisted living, I am hopeful that my critical online review of my mother's stay at Stratford ALF, and her passing away as a result of their substandard care, resulted in the facility making changes to improve their deficiencies.   Above all, I want to see families' loved ones receive the quality care they rightfully deserve. Warm regards, Shelley B.

I find Shelley's experience very hard to believe when coming to Stratford Court. From the moment my…read moremom arrived, the staff worked to make her feel comfortable and at ease. They helped us in every way to make the atmosphere feel right at home by giving us the ability to make it "her room." I have never found a reason to speak negatively upon how they treated us here at Stratford Court. They give a type of personal attention that made our family rest easier every time we left. I am truly grateful for all the incredible service that they provide and hope that you can see that myself, as well as others, have a positive experience from joining the Stratford residence. Thank you Stratford Court for all that you do and I hope Shelley doesn't ruin the wonderful experiences you have brought to me and my family.

Other facilities have a common laundry, at one place, two per floor and two washers and two dryers (occasionally non-working) and it is often difficult to get a machine. There is no exorbitant fee you pay at entrance as there is at some other facilities. (Not usually given the name, Entrance Fee, of course.) Coral Oaks requires only monthly rent and that is all that is gone should you choose to move.

The Gables of Palm Harbor welcomed my mother when she was summarily pushed out of rehab, and the…read moreplace we originally contracted with rejected her. Jeannie walked me through the process, while I was panicking. It was not an easy transition, which is apparently quite common. The location is good, the apartments are two-room, so you feel as if you are living in a real apartment, not a dorm room. The location is excellent, with a lovely outdoor area for sun and fresh air, that overlooks a lake. Now, some months later, we are so glad she is at the Gables. Care givers are lovely and friendly, Mom has made friend with other residents. She's exercising and playing games. She's gone on some of the outings, as well. Dee and Michael are outstanding activities leaders. Lance, Kim, Lisa and the rest of the PT team is fantastic. No, it is not perfect. They have "adequate" staff, which means if your parent needs 2 person transfer, they wait longer. Adequate is not always enough. But, overall, Mom is happy, we're generally happy with her care, the food is not awful (as it was at rehab) and Sheila and the staff genuinely seem to care about residents.

Everything looked very clean and the dining room is an open concept & very spacious. This place also has a separate casual cafe and also a formal dining area for restaurant-quality food without taking your loved one out of the facility. The outdoor area is lovely, spacious, covered, & offers a view of a lake - how tranquil! The rooms were impressive as they had a separate living room from the bedroom - something that I had not seen at other AL facilities. Working on the paperwork was a breeze & Laurie made everything very easy.

They work under Darwin's leadership and have always been great about responding quickly to our work orders. They take the time to listen and always come up with solid solutions. We've seen a big improvement in the maintenance team over the past few years, and it hasn't gone unnoticed. Not long ago, our air conditioner broke late at night--around 10:30 PM. Justin Chapman, the Security Manager, jumped into action right away and made sure we had a cool, comfortable place to stay that night. We appreciated how quickly he handled everything. The care, quick responses, and genuine concern from the staff are what make Regency Oaks feel like home.

Anyone considering Westchester Gardens, 3301 N. McMullen Booth Rd,…read moreClearwater, Florida, for rehabilitation should consider other options. It has a 4/5 rating on the CMS Quality Rating Scale (which Medicare gives a facility after their regular inspections) and the pictures on their website show beautiful floors and a nice PT facility; however, my experience was most unsatisfactory. I was admitted from the hospital (August 2025) to regain strength following surgery and before returning home. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by a concierge who rudely commented on my clothes, stating that if they didn't have my name on them, they would be donated. This left a negative first impression as all my belongings were taken away for tagging. In my opinion, the facility's living conditions were subpar, with cramped and uncomfortable rooms. There were two patients per room with little storage for personal items. The one chair per bed for visitors was filled with supplies. My visitors had to edge sideways past the end of my roommate's bed to reach mine only to then stand due to lack of seating. Walkers had to be maneuvered to open the door to the bathroom, enter, and close the door. Cleanliness was also a concern, particularly in the bathroom. I had specific requirements for toileting and an assisted clean-up rarely occurred afterward (for me or the bathroom floor.) I was a resident for 3 days and did not have a change of sheets or help with personal hygiene. My dietary needs were disregarded; I was supposed to be on a high-protein diet to aid my recovery but was given no choices. The meals provided were abysmal, and I'm attaching some pictures to illustrate the poor quality. Everyone received the same meals, and mine often went uneaten.. On the third day, I woke up in excruciating pain in my shoulders, rating it a 10/10. I was unable to push the call button due to pain; my roommate wheeled herself into the hall and yelled for help. She was told that many people were in pain. Several minutes later, a staff member came into the room asking about my last pain medication dose. Barely able to respond, I said, "I don't know," while she stood there. Frustrated, I told her to get help or I would call 911. She didn't respond, so I struggled to dial the 3 digits. EMTs arrived to remove me to a hospital. The whole experience was disappointing and detrimental to my recovery. I believe Westchester Gardens did not provide the quality of care or the supportive environment that someone in rehabilitation requires and deserves.
