Assisted Living

Recently, we helped a cousin move to Concordia. Although it's only been a few short days, I must say that the administrators we worked with to facilitate this move were outstanding. They were very responsive and patient with us, even though it was difficult to communicate with them. They also helped with the move from Concordia AL to rehab. Our cousin seems to be very happy, and has been so busy that she is not able to contact me on her cell phone. Prior to that, she was in a rehabilitation facility with no activities or people she could interact. Concordia was so helpful in her admission.

Hanna Oaks is a wonderful place to put your loved ones. My uncles and I live here, and we are very well taken care. My uncles were made to feel 10x more comfortable by the business manager and her assistant as an administrative assistant. It is clear that the new management has made a significant impact. Highly recommend.

After a year of not seeing my grandma, I finally got to see her last week. She moved into Promise Pointe within this year. The front desk clerk, was very friendly when I first arrived. I was given a tour by Grandma, which was really great. She made new friends and is fondly in love with the staff. She says the food is good and that the activities keep her entertained. This place is worth a visit if you love one.

For the past 2 years, my husband has been at Concordia Village in Tampa. The activities coordinator arranged it. Concordia was my only experience. The activities coordinator inspired me to write this review. Her knowledge of each resident's history was amazing to my husband and me. She knows each of them by name and their birthdays. She is familiar with their occupations and their origins. She is familiar with their children and grandchildren. It is impossible to imagine all these people knowing each other and keeping their information straight. She made them smile when they saw her. They were drawn in by her. It was wonderful to see how much happiness she brings into their lives. We'll continue to visit Concordia and the staff.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the criteria for Assisted Living in Tampa?

Florida-licensed Assisted Living communities serve seniors who need daily help with activities like bathing, dressing, medications, or meals but who don't require continuous skilled nursing. Tampa communities complete a health and needs assessment before move-in to confirm they can provide the right level of care under state licensing rules.

Does Medicare pay for Assisted Living?

No. Medicare doesn't cover room, board, or daily-living help in Assisted Living communities. Tampa residents can still use Medicare benefits for approved medical care they receive while living in a community — doctor visits, eligible therapies, and short-term hospital stays.

How much does Assisted Living cost per month in Tampa, FL?

Florida's median for Assisted Living is set by the 2025 industry cost-of-care survey, with Tampa-area communities pricing at or near the statewide figure. Actual rates depend on suite size and care level. A BoomersHub advisor can confirm current pricing at any Tampa community for free.

Does long-term care insurance cover Assisted Living?

Most LTCI policies pay toward Assisted Living once benefit triggers are met — typically needing help with two or more daily activities, or having a cognitive impairment. Check your policy's elimination period, daily benefit amount, and lifetime maximum before comparing Tampa communities.

Are Assisted Living expenses tax deductible?

The portion of Assisted Living fees attributable to medical care may qualify as an itemized medical expense when a licensed practitioner has certified the resident as chronically ill and care follows a written plan. Keep itemized statements from your Tampa community and confirm with a tax professional.

Do you bring your own furniture to Assisted Living?

Usually, yes. Most Tampa Assisted Living communities encourage residents to furnish their suite with their own furniture, photos, and keepsakes so the new home feels familiar from day one. Ask each community what fits the floor plan and what's included.

How do I move a parent with dementia to Assisted Living?

Start with their physician, then tour Tampa communities that offer memory care or dementia-capable staffing. Keep routines and familiar belongings, plan the move for their best time of day, and coordinate the first weeks closely with staff. A local advisor can shortlist secure, well-suited Tampa communities for free.

How does Assisted Living work with Social Security?

Social Security income can be applied toward Assisted Living, but on its own it rarely covers the full monthly cost. Most Tampa families combine it with savings, long-term care insurance, VA benefits, or home equity to bridge the difference.

How do I choose the right Assisted Living community in Tampa?

Tour at least three, ideally around a mealtime, and revisit your favorite unannounced. Check the state license and last inspection date, ask about staffing ratios on nights and weekends, and understand how the community handles medical escalation. A BoomersHub advisor can build the shortlist for free.

Does Florida Medicaid help pay for Assisted Living in Tampa?

In participating communities, yes — coverage rules and program names vary by state. Florida-licensed Assisted Living communities can tell you which state Medicaid benefits they accept and whether they offer subsidized units. Neither Medicaid nor Medicare pays for room and board, so ask each Tampa community about their payment mix before you tour.
