Arden Courts of Tampa

My mom has been a resident at Arden Courts of Tampa for two plus years. I feel we truly found a lasting home for her there. After experiencing other inadequate “memory” units, I believe Arden Courts is a place where workers are really trained in dementia care.
One of the things I love about Arden Courts is the home itself. The facility is structured like a small village inside with common activity areas and four different wings of rooms. Each wing has their own cozy kitchen and living room for watching TV. They also have a laundry room and showering room. My mom has a small comfortable room with a private bath that looks out on a garden courtyard. The garden out back, with paved walkways, extends across the whole back of the building. The residents can safely go out the back doors freely and walk leisurely around. This is a very nice feature for a dementia patient who likes to wander. The staff check on the residents on a scheduled basis to keep them safe outside.
The other thing I love about Arden Courts is the leadership and staff. Denise, the director, has been helpful and caring. I feel she promotes a community where my mom is in a family, and they are all my family too! I have missed them all during the pandemic and lock down. Mindy, the activities director, has been kind to set up FaceTime visits with my mom several times a week. Jazz and Carol, nurses, reassure me on phone calls that my mom is doing well and is healthy. I can’t say enough about the caregivers who are tireless workers. I know they show my mom and others love. There are many other staff members, too numerous to mention by name, that work so hard to serve the residents. I appreciate them all and know they strive to keep my mom and the other residents safe during the COVID crisis. I would highly recommend Arden Courts of Tampa. I believe it is an awesome home and a good choice for your loved one who suffers with dementia.

Arden Courts is an amazing facility!! Denise, the Executive Director, is very good at choosing loving, caring people to work for her. The Caregivers are wonderful. They really love the residents. Mindy, the Activity Director, is very good at keeping the residents engaged in activities. The housekeeping staff works very hard at keeping the entire facility clean. The chefs are great with accommodating the residents dietary needs. There are nurses on site FULL TIME! Do not take your loved one to a facility that has "Med Techs" dispensing meds. Been there, done that. Not a good situation! Arden Courts has a doctor there every Tuesday, Dr. Gaudino, and he is wonderful! They also have a nurse practitioner, Jennifer, that comes every Friday. My mom has been there for 7 months and I am extremely happy!
