About this community

Alimar Assisted Living in Tampa, Florida, is described by its official website as a locally owned and operated residence with more than 20 years of senior-care experience. It offers assisted living and adult day services, and short-term respite stays are also listed. The residence is described as serving up to 56 residents. Its care approach is intended to provide supportive help while allowing residents to maintain independence, dignity, and choice in daily life.

Care is described as based on each resident’s identified needs, abilities, interests, and functional limitations. An individualized assistance plan is developed with input from the resident, family, and staff, and services can be adjusted accordingly. The stated approach is to assist with tasks rather than routinely take them over. Listed personal-care help includes bathing, dressing, and eating. Trained personnel supervise medications, and staff are described as being on duty around the clock. Care-service listings also include incontinence care, diabetic care, and support for residents who are non-ambulatory.

Alimar is a warm, friendly place that cares for all of its residents with love - the most important thing! The green space and house cats, as well as the apartment set-up with a living room make it feel homey and not like an institution. It's way more affordable than most other places that aren't nearly as good. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is that it's not as fancy as some, and doesn't have the bells and whistles other places have.

I love the staff who cares for my aunt. However, Alyssa in the office is the rudest ever! She called DCF on me for no payment!! They’ve had my aunt’s debit card since we took her there in 6/2022. We told them they have to apply for Payee, they didn’t!! Alyssa accused my husband of STEALING her money! Alyssa has left nasty phone messages and text! Totally unprofessional and unacceptable! We don’t have the card, they do. Alyssa also reported me and saying I don’t take care of her and applied for the POA to Medicaid! Hello she’s been there for 2.5 years, I don’t care for my aunt. New owners,…

New owners, haven’t seen them! Be careful with your love ones and money!!

I wouldn't put my loved ones in here. The dining room is not spacious, very small walkway to walk outside, and parking is tight. Friendly staff.

I recently had to move both of my parents into Alimar ALF on very short notice. They have been there just a short period of time, but thanks to all the friendly staff they are already feeling at home. Every staff member there treats them super nice which has made it easier for them to adjust. They also love the food and the friendly atmosphere. Also, Meredith Bond, the administrator, was very helpful and accommodating and guided me through this whole unfamiliar process. She throughly explained everything to me and answered all the questions that I had. I would recommend Alimar to anyone looking for an ALF for a loved one.

My mother has been at Alimar Assisted Living Facility for seven years. As you can imagine, she has seen a few staff members, come and go, through the years. One that really stands out is Yeneyki Cantillo, my mother just loves her. I’ve seen a big change in her, sense Yeneyki has been caring for her. She’s happier and smiling more, she even tries to communicate. Seeing my mother cared for, happy and content is a blessing.

They don't answer phone. They don't watch people living there. Answer your phones.

Thankful that my mom is being cared for at Alimar. She’s been there now a year, and the super staff treats everyone like family. Her medical care is much better than it was when my mom was home. And Meredith is so very helpful and knowledgeable.

My mom is there and they take very good care of her. They are very caring and loving to my mom and she loves their food which is very important because she is a picky eater. The office staff is always keeping me informed and letting me know of any changes that her doctor makes. My mom couldn’t be in better hands!
