At Westminster Palms in Saint Petersburg, residents live in an assisted-living setting that provides a straightforward mix of medical oversight and day-to-day support. Licensed nurses are on site around the clock to monitor vital signs, manage medications, and respond to health concerns as they arise. The community maintains standing relationships with local physicians and pharmacies, so residents can receive lab work, therapies, and prescription refills without having to leave the campus. An emergency response system connects each apartment to trained staff, ensuring rapid assistance in case of falls or sudden illness.
Beyond the clinical services, caregivers help with bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility, adjusting the level of assistance as individual needs change. Scheduled transportation is available for off-site medical appointments, and a health and wellness program tracks each resident’s progress through regular assessments. Residents can participate in exercise classes tailored for balance and strength, and a rehab team is available for short-term physical, occupational, and speech therapy under physician orders. Housekeeping and laundry services are included, reducing daily burdens so residents can focus on their well-being.
Accommodations range from studios to larger one- and two-bedroom apartments, each equipped with a private bathroom, climate control, and an emergency call feature tied to the 24-hour response system. Select floor plans include kitchenettes, walk-in showers, and balcony views, while others offer more basic layouts; not all accommodations have all the features. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, basic cable, and Wi-Fi are available, but residents can choose to add or decline optional upgrades such as reserved parking or premium channel packages.
Dining services provide three daily meals prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian, with menus designed to meet varied nutritional needs, including diabetic and low-sodium options. Meals are served restaurant-style in a communal dining room, and staff are available to assist residents who require help with seating or eating. A smaller bistro area stays open for lighter fare and scheduled snacks, and room service can be arranged during illness or recovery. The culinary team regularly solicits resident feedback to adjust menus and accommodate personal preferences while maintaining balanced nutrition.
