Local (Pinellas County) Memory Care and other Facilities

  • This section used to be a list of facilities by name.  Wow, have things changed!
  • Before Covid, we visited many facilities and were keenly familiar with them.
  • Then we couldn't get in during the beginnings of Covid, then almost All of them changed their names, and their staff.  We have been back in some, but not others.
  • At this juncture, please feel free to ask us about any care facilities you are interested in and we will be happy to discuss them with you, including questions to ask, things to look for, things not to say, things not to sign, and more.
  • There are some Memory Care Assisted Living Facilities (ALF's) and many regular ALF's without memory care. And, some Skilled Nursing Facilities have Memory Care while others do not.  We've been in every type there is, so don't hesitate to ask Mr. Gentry about any type of care facility in Pinellas. If we don't have direct experience with any you ask us about, we probably know someone who does.
  • Call us for any facility questions you have. We are happy to help: 727-231-1080
