About this community

Westminster Palms is in Saint Petersburg, Florida, in the Historic Old Northeast, one block from Tampa Bay and a few blocks from downtown restaurants, galleries, and boutiques. It is a Life Plan Community, also known as a continuing care retirement community, with independent living as its main residential option. Apartments have views of the bay or city skyline, and the location places waterfront and downtown destinations nearby.

Independent-living apartments range from studios to two bedrooms, and some layouts include dens. They are housed in mid-rise and high-rise buildings named Palm View, Palm Bay, Palm Isle, and Palm Aire. The community describes the apartments as newly renovated, with maintenance included. Listed features include open floor plans, modern appliances, granite countertops, high-quality cabinetry, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing Tampa Bay or the city skyline.

Update 10/2/2025: Still no response from company after months of outreach, unless you count there expedited response to the google post here. Not even a blanket email response from the Executive Director. Just avoided phone calls and emails. I thought communication was key in an Assisted Living Facility, communication!!!!!!! This location is not very helpful. They haven't responded to a single email after trying to reach people in there offices only get sent over to one person who has declined my call for 3 months. This is very upsetting for someone who partners with AL facilities. Awful…

I've lived at Westminster Palms for seven years and life here keeps getting better. Every team member effectively focuses on creating a safe, healthy, happy environment. The location is within an easy waterfront walk to downtown restaurants, museums, faith communities and frequent festivals. The views of cityscape, Tampa Bay, The Pier, and tree-canopied Old North East are spectacular. Best of all, my fellow residents are friendly, interesting and actively enjoying life.

I've lived at Westminster Palms for seven years and life here keeps getting better. Every team member effectively focuses on creating a safe, healthy, happy environment. The location is within an easy waterfront walk to downtown restaurants, museums, faith communities and frequent festivals. The views of cityscape, Tampa Bay, The Pier, and tree-canopied Old North East are spectacular. Best of all, my fellow residents are friendly, interesting and actively enjoying life. There are lots of opportunities for relaxation, education and volunteer work on campus and in the wider community. I've been able to run 5-K and 10-K races, right in the neighborhood; my friends here swim in the large swimming pools across the street or fish in the Bay. Westminster offers many local bus trips for us as well as providing transportation for medical care and food shopping. I'm very thankful for Westminster Palms and for all the Westminster communities in St. Petersburg and around the state.

My grandmother lives here and she always feels right at home. She’s a bit of a picky eater but loves the food! They have a lot of fun activities and there are plenty of things to keep her busy.

One telling example: When I first moved here, I was nursing a bad hip and was having trouble getting myself and my stuff out of my car in the parking lot. A kitchen worker saw through a window that I was struggling and ran out to help me. That display of caring and kindness has proven to be a hallmark of this facility that I now call home. Thanks, Walter.

I'm writing this review on behalf of my aunt, who has been a resident at Westminster Palms for over five years. She lives in independent living and absolutely loves the community and surrounding area. The transportation services make it easy for her to get where she needs to go, and she attends daily workout classes, which she really enjoys. She also raves about the food! We truly can't recommend Westminster Palms enough.

My dad lives here. He loves it. The food is something he always talks about. It has a great workout room too. We both recommend Westminster!

I moved to Westminster four years ago. Best decision I’ve made in years! So many activities to choose from, or choose to have a quiet day. The staff is so amazing— friendly, helpful, and caring. I had a sudden health crisis a few months ago. Before I realized I was in trouble, two staffers came to my aid, supporting me, calling the EMTs, calling someone to come care for my dog, keeping me safe. I can’t say enough about how good it is to live here! Charlotte K.

You can look elsewhere, but you will never find better. Should be your first choice; you will not be disappointed.
