Sometimes the food is not hot or maybe overcooked. Also sometimes they can't get entertainment for happy hour. My father would like some other activities to be available.

September 6, 2024Thank you for your recommendation!. We're always looking for ways to enhance our residents' experiences, so suggestions like yours help us improve, and invite you to reach out to our team whenever you have a comment or suggestion.
[name removed](sales) was friendly and helpful. The facility is well kept and everyone is welcoming. Dinner options are good and parents have good things to say about the food. In our situation it would be nice if there were Some sort of place they could run down and just grab a sandwich for when my mom can’t make it down. Currently they have to give a days notice if he wants to bring her meal up (which he won’t know until that day) AND they charge $2.50 to box it up. It does seem they are often short staffed in the dinning. The overall Staff of the building is always smiling and willing to help especially the night security. They seem to have good activities but not always able to take advantage because it’s only offered on a certain day at a certain time but again that could be our specific situation. Overall great experience.

June 19, 2024Lori -- we're honored your mom loves her home at Stratford Court and we appreciate your shout out for our amazing team.
My loved one is a resident at Stratford Court of Palm Harbor. Everyone was super nice during the exploring and visits prior to signing the contract. Now, they don't answer emails, don't have a process to check in case my mother does not go to breakfast or dinner for several days. The price went up by over 12%. I may not recommend it to others.

May 30, 2024I am the Executive Director and would welcome the chance to sit down and discuss your concerns as resident and family feedback is always important to us. Please contact me at your convenience so we can address your specific issues and work towards a resolution. We value your trust and hope to regain your confidence in our community.
My recommendation for this facility is to have the families be very proactive. I see my mother almost daily so I am very much aware of what is going on. The staff appreciates proactive families. They are not trying to hide anything they are just trying to make sure each resident has what they need. I have called the desk because my mother was having cell phone issues and the security guard went to her apartment to help her. The cleaning staff do the minimum, so I usually do a thorough clean monthly.

We chose Stratford Court of Palm Harbor because the facility was very clean and smaller than some we saw. Very calm. Not hectic and "busy" or noisy like some we saw They were very attentive and helpful with my MIL's medical issues. They tried to engage her in activities

April 4, 2024Thanks for sharing what initially attracted you to Stratford Court of Palm Harbor as well as how the team has impressed you since your loved one moved in. Recommendations from families of residents are important to us and we're thrilled to have received yours.
It's a beautiful property but they routinely violate the first three rules of care they have posted. They routinely took things from my loved ones room without telling them. The final straw was when they rearranged her room while she was at the pool with a caregiver. They did it without asking or telling anyone and left and extension cord across the only path to her bed making her room more dangerous! We picked this community, because it looked beautiful and it was small and my mother was having mobility issues. Since receiving better care at another facility, she is super active and back to driving again.

January 30, 2024Hi. I am the Executive Director and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you about your feedback. While our OT team will help to access and reorganize a resident's room to ensure their comfort and safety, that is done with the involvement of the resident or family. Note also that extension cords are not allowed by regulation and would not be used. Please contact me at the community at your earliest convenience and hope we are able to speak soon.
My loved one is currently a resident at Stratford Court and everything has been great for her so far at this facility. [Name removed] was excellent with helping us find the right accommodations. The food is excellent and they have a wide variety of choices. If my loved one ever needs anything for his room, they take care of it right away. I would recommend Stratford Court to family and friends!

Overall we've had a good experience, and I would recommend Stratford Court. Residents just have to be flexible. There seems to be many changes with staffing, which leads to dining changes and activity changes and cancellations.

May 12, 2023Chris, thank you for your review and recommendation of Stratford Court. We strive to provide the best care and services for our residents and continue to actively recruit in order to add more members to our team to consistently achieve that goal across the entire community.
We toured Stratford Court and it was a nice tour. Our tour guide was very nice. I would say this facility is nice for Independent Living, but Assisted Living was more like nursing home care. The rooms were smaller. Pets are not allowed. The residents are less mobile and aware.

They also take the residents out to lunch They of course have bingo, movies and all different kinds of things...there are only 40 residents so they get extra special treatment.

Our family had an in person tour and it was nice too, but [community name] is the one that my father-in-law felt most Comfortable at. We felt that with everything we learned after speaking with them that the rents would not increase like they do at Stratford court.
