A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.

Total count of citations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of citations this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total citations ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.

Westminster Suncoast

1095 Pinellas Point Dr S, St. Petersburg, FL 33705
Overview of Westminster Suncoast

Sixty beds, one campus, three levels of care: Westminster Suncoast in St. Petersburg is built as a continuing care retirement community, so nursing home care sits alongside assisted living and independent living under the same roof. It’s in the Greater Pinellas Point neighborhood, and honestly, you’ll want a car nearby. The Walk Score is 26, somewhat walkable, meaning a few things are in reach on foot but most errands aren’t. Suncoast Manor Retirement Community Inc holds the license, Chrystal Zecca administers the place day to day, and Westminster Services, Inc. runs operations behind the scenes.

Occupancy sits at 87.3%, so the building is close to full. The average stay is 66 days, which is short enough to suggest a lot of people are here for rehab after a hospital stay, not just settling in long-term. Registered nurses log about 51 minutes per resident each day, and LPNs and certified nurse aides fill out the rest of the direct care hours.

Residents can join arts and crafts, music programs, yoga, dancing, and organized outings, and there’s an active resident council that actually meets to talk through policy and care quality with staff, not just a name on a brochure. The facility also links residents to home care and pharmacy services, plus HUD and rental apartment options for those who need it. Staff speak English and Spanish, which matters more than it might sound like on paper.

Money-wise, Westminster Suncoast takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families aren’t boxed into one route. On the regulatory side, state inspections here have tended to circle back to medication management, staffing credentials, and how well care planning gets documented. You get a fairly typical CCRC nursing home: high occupancy, a short-stay rehab tilt, real staffing behind the numbers, and a resident population that’s probably split between people passing through after surgery and people who’ve made this their home.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Florida

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Florida?

Assisted living in Florida supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Florida Medicaid cover memory care?

Florida Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Florida) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 792 memory care communities in Florida. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in Florida?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Florida, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in Florida?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
