Tampa In-Home Care

Tampa Assisted Living Facilities And More

In Hillsborough County, there are 178,350 seniors age 60 and older representing 16.2% of the total population. And 30,387 of the 65 and older population are deficient in two or more activities of daily living like personal grooming and dressing and undressing making them excellent candidates for assisted living facilities. That's not a bad thing because Tampa is a solid bet for seniors looking to retire. The area boasts over 80 assisted living options and a low cost of living.

This metro area of over 2.7 million is an affordable option for those on a fixed income. Consider the overall cost of living--it's just below the national average. Your retirement income is not taxed and there is no inheritance or estate tax. And finally, your biggest expense, housing, is very reasonable. According to recent national survey by Genworth Financial, a one-bedroom in a Tampa assisted living facility averages $2,650; the Florida average is $2,662; the national average is $3,261. A private room in a nursing home averages $235 a day while a semi-private goes for $212.

In Florida, assisted living facilities are licensed to provide extended congregate care (ECC). This allows the facility "to care for residents as they become frailer in order for the resident to age in place." Go to Florida's Health Finder here to find inspection reports for assisted living facilities. Each listing notes if they are an ECC provider. Go here to find inspection reports on nursing homes. This link also provides a detailed look at each facility inspected. For example, at Ybor City Healthcare and Rehab you'll find the lowest daily charge is $180; the quality of care, life and administration all received four out of five stars; and the staff speaks Creole, French, and Spanish.

Meet and socialize with other seniors at one of the area's eight senior centers. Upcoming events and activities at the Oaks at Riverview Senior Center include bridge club, yoga, nutrition education and a basic computer skills class.
