Hear What People Say

My husband and I moved to Westminster Palms four years ago into an Independent Living apartment with stunning views. We are delighted with our decision. Why? Beautiful downtown setting near Tampa Bay, short walk to Beach Drive restaurants, the Pier, and waterfront walking/bicycle path. Excellent food, incredible leadership and staff. Extensive activities & exercise/yoga options… And great neighbors!

Westminster Palms is the perfect community in the perfect location. We are right across from the Bay with a beautiful waterside park and beach and a stone’s throw from restaurants and museums. There is always plenty to do – physical activities, lectures, special dining, volunteer opportunities, trips, and so much more. I moved here 10 years ago with no local friends or family. I was instantly befriended and included.

Life here keeps getting better… The location is 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.
