The people make this place. So nice, responsive, caring, professional, and friendly. On the first day, everyone knew my moms name. It was so special. My mom is very happy there - beautiful balconies and large apartment.
My mother has been a resident at Angels Senior living in South Tampa since September 2016. During that time she has received the finest loving care I could ever have imagined. I am here nearly every day and have been grateful for so many gestures of attention that went beyond merely "doing their jobs." During hurricane Irma all the residents Were evacuated to a different angels facility. Mattresses, medicines clothing, water and food were all transferred in one day without a wrinkle. The residents were prepared during the previous week by constant discussion of the potential for a move so that none of them would be disturbed emotionally. The day of the move the owner offered to take the families as well along with their pets so I also enjoyed lovely accommodations and meals. Moreover, I needed to take my basset hound who did not have a crate. The owner said to me "no worries, we would never turn away a basset hound." My partner and I played music for the residents at the new facility during the hurricane and everyone just plain had fun. During the hurricane the director rented a car to go around during the storm and pick up some members of the staff's family and bring them to safety as well. We had electricity provided by their generators and everything we could need. The day the hurricane was over we came back to the South Tampa facility and by evening the tables were set and everyone was back in their own bed! These people are champions! Many many thanks!!!

Much of Clearwater’s activity centers around the beach and the outdoors, and with a great climate and some of the most striking views on Florida’s Gulf Coast, it’s no wonder. Clearwater’s namesake beach is often rated among the best, and frequently number one, in all of the U.S. by various sources. The pristine white sand beach is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, whether you’d rather swim in the crystal-clear water or simply relax in the sun. Clearwater Beach is large enough to have areas that are both secluded or bustling, depending on the setting you’re after. The beach’s Pier 60, consisting of a park, souvenir stands, and snack vendors, is also a great location for fishing, during both daytime and nighttime hours.
If you’d like a break from the beach, Clearwater has plenty of other options to offer. Every year the city hosts the Sea Blues festiva two-day outdoor festival spotlighting live blues music and all types of seafood – in downtown Clearwater. The festival is held in February and admission is free to the public. Clearwater is also home to Moccasin Lake Park – a 51-acre nature preserve with winding trails throughout the trees, where one can view a wide variety of plants and wildlife. The park also offers classes, programs, and scheduled events.
Remember that if your tastes and interests are more metropolitan, Tampa and St. Petersburg are only a short distance away.
Transportation
The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) operates the public bus system in Clearwater, as well as a trolley system which connects downtown Clearwater to St. Petersburg. Most of the buses run 7 days a week, cover much of the area, and operate from early morning to nighttime hours.
