Buchanan Collin in Tampa, Florida, provides licensed assisted living care for older adults who want daily support while preserving as much independence as possible. The community maintains 24-hour staffing, routine safety checks, and a nurse available for health assessments and medication reviews. Caregivers help with bathing, dressing, mobility, continence management, and time-sensitive medication administration. Physicians visit regularly, and arrangements are in place for laboratory work, imaging, and therapy referrals, allowing residents to receive many clinical services without leaving the property.

Beyond these core medical services, Buchanan Collin coordinates transportation to outside specialists, schedules on-site podiatry and dental clinics, and offers chronic condition monitoring for diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac care. A licensed pharmacist reviews each resident’s medication profile to reduce interactions, and electronic charting enables prompt communication with families and physicians. The staff leads group exercise classes tailored to individual abilities, and a secure emergency call system connects residents directly to trained personnel at any hour.

Accommodations include a selection of studio and one-bedroom apartments, along with companion suites for residents who prefer shared living. Units may feature kitchenettes, step-in showers with grab bars, individual climate controls, basic cable, and Wi-Fi, but not every apartment contains every feature. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are standard. Small pets are allowed in certain units; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

Dining is provided three times daily in a central dining room, where staff serve prepared-to-order entrées and a rotating menu of home-style dishes. Residents with physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, heart-healthy, or diabetic options receive meals planned by a registered dietitian. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, and room service is offered for those recovering from illness or who prefer to dine privately.
