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.
