The community is very well kept, the cleanliness is great. With the covid pandemic our loved one has opted out of going to the dining room and cooking for himself, but with the meals he has taken from the dining room have been excellent. He also opted out of the activities for now, so we don't have much experience with all they have to offer. The value for cost is excellent it is a wonderful place.
When it was clear my brother needed this kind of facility i contacted several. Angels Senior living was helpful from the first call and my choice was based on my contact with the staff at Palm Harbor , and the corporate entity. They expedited everything. I live in NYC and this was done during Covid and so it was remotel This has proved an excellent choice. The staff is excellent, caring and highly professional. They have gone way above and beyond to provide my brother with the care he needs. Whenever i have had a concern the response is prompt. I could not recommend more highly.

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.
