Overview of Gallery at South Tampa

Gallery at South Tampa offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Valrico, Florida. Independent living provides a private home with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with everyday tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having all three care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time.

Respite care is available for short stays, which can give a family caregiver time to travel or recover. Therapy is provided at the community, so residents can receive rehabilitation without arranging transportation elsewhere. Scheduled outings and transportation also provide access to organized activities beyond the community. There are several ways to spend time outdoors or focus on personal care, including a wellness program, pool, salon or spa, and an outdoor entertainment area with grills.

Restaurant style dining uses locally sourced, fresh ingredients and includes dietary accommodations, allowing residents with special diets to receive meals suited to their needs. Pets are allowed, so residents may keep a pet while living there. Move in services can support the transition, and washers and dryers within the apartments give residents access to laundry at home.
