My wife and I have lived here 3 years and are extremely pleased with our decision to move here. There is an abundance of activities and the staff and residents are very friendly and outgoing. Our family is pleased that we are in a safe and caring environment, freeing them of constant concern.

In the 14 months that we have lived at Westminster Shores we have found it to be a terrific place to be. The staff here is very customer-oriented, truly committed to making this a great experience for residents. We have an excellent Executive Director who has been building a great team. We had a good move-in experience with a complex set of things that the staff helped us pull together to make it all happen. The positive experience with the staff has continued ever since. The Shores campus is very compelling. The water views of Tampa Bay and Little Bayou are outstanding, with a sea wall for walking around the property that makes the best of all of it. The buildings are attractive, the landscaping well-kept and a set of activity sites for those looking for exercise. Activities abound - there is virtually something for everyone, including connecting with the many opportunities in the St. Petersburg area. There is a strong sense of community among those living here - we felt at home from the moment we arrived. Part of this is due to the strong Residents Advisory Council and many other committees and organizations that encourage resident input and involvement in the life of the Shores. Our living unit is exceptional, with large rooms, high ceilings, up scale appliances, lots of closet space and killer views of the water and city sky line. Our building has a great dining room, a high-end restaurant(Alta Marina), a wine bar, a well-equipped fitness center and a living and learning center that is a focal point for all kinds of programs, lectures, exhibits and social events. We truly feel that we are part of a community of very interesting and interested people. We never seem to run out of things to talk about and things to do together. We encourage anyone looking for a dynamic CCRC environment to come and check us out!

We spent three wonderful days, able to take advantage of guest units, which were provided for friends and family of the residents there. All the staff were helpful, outgoing, the amenities were first rate, and there was a real sense of camaraderie and friendliness among the people we met while strolling around the campus. We have have visited Westminster Shores for about six years now, but this was the first time we stayed in the spacious and very affordable residential apartments. Thank you for making those available so we could be on site to enjoy visiting with our friends so easily. (The only thing I would add is when you are ready to check out, be sure to have payment in the form of a check since they do not accept credit card or cash). Thanks to all the staff, especially Brian, Ella, and Grace.

The Alta Marina Restaurant at Sunrise Point can not be beaten for an enjoyable dining experience. The view is great, the food is great, the service is great, AND there's no tipping or tax. Leanne and I are averaging twice a week eating there - exceeds any restaurant on Beech Drive. Ray Spletzer

I moved into the Shores in December of 2021. It is the best decision that I could have made at this time in my life. My wife and I had been snowbirds between Ruskin and Cleveland, Ohio, for 20 years. When she passed in November of 2020, I moved into an apartment in Gulfport for a year trying to decide what I wanted to do next. When I heard about the Shores, I inquired and immediately felt that I was entering into a warm, caring, and supportive community. I tell my friends that being here is like a cross between college and summer camp. We have our own complete living units and can have all of our meals in the dining hall, where we have a chance to meet and socialize with many interesting and lively people. It feels like summer camp, because every day we are offered a wide variety of social and recreational opportunities on the campus or in the community with bus transportation included. The feeling that I get from my experience with the other residents is that the age dial has been set back significantly, as every one seems to be lively and active disguising their age. Some days I pinch myself and wonder how I could be in such a wonderful place.

We had an AMAZING tour with Becky yesterday. I coordinated the tour several days ahead; Becky listened to our needs; did a phone call reconfirm our meeting date and time of 6/03 at 2:30. She was prepared for our arrival, very personable and listened to Helen's needs and concerns. And now the BEST part: Visiting the different places to live and seeing the different models all beautifully decorated!!! They do with golf cart so very comfortable if someone has mobility issues or cannot walk far. It is a large campus but beautifully maintained and landscaped. Their is spectacular views of the water from both the St. Pete side, Tampa Bay and even the Skyway in the distance! If I lived there, I might never leave my residence because my view outside was so beautiful! There were ⛵ out docked in the water. They have both casual and fine dining and by fine dining I mean beautiful table setting and a menu that made my mouth water. While we are not ready to make an immediate decision, this property is indeed a hidden gem if your loved one needs care and Becky is outstanding at her job and presenting options in a caring fun way. Also, they are offering an incentive to move in this month.

Today, a friend, Barbara and myself visited Westminster Shores with Becky Johnson taking all the time needed to show us several different independent living units in the various buildings. In the telephone conversation to arrange this appointment she got pertinent information regarding my wants/needs and was ready upon our arrival taking us to units and buildings that met these needs. Our initial tour was of the beautiful grounds and the amazing view. And while I currently reside on Snell Isle which has Bird Island, I discovered a second Bird Island right there. Barbara, my friend, could not stop commenting on how friendly everyone was from the staff, the residents and even outside vendors. Becky was diligent in asking which units I liked and actually had my two favorites marked for me. She was thorough in her presentation, knowledgeable not only about the place but the residents as well. It is difficult to decide what the next phase of my life shall be, but if it is a community this will be it. And Barbara says ditto ditto ditto!!

My mom spent 10 wonderful years at Westminster Shores. The community feel and activities helped her make wonderful friends. She had card playing friends, and church going friends, and service league friends and on and on. And when it was time for mom to leave The Shores and go into memory care, Brian Parks, Brett Montegny and team helped make the transition seamless and meaningful. They helped us put together a See You Soon Party that made mom feel like one million dollars and then some. On behalf of my mother, Phyllis Rabb, we have nothing but love and five stars for Westminster Shores. Amenities are awesome, but a caring staff and culture is what really matters. Thank you! And yes, my mom, two sisters, and I all highly recommend.

We are exploring options in senior living communities and met with Becky Johnson at Westminster Shores. Our visit was an unexpected delight. Becky guided us around the community with expertise and knowledge, listening closely to our desires and tailoring a visit to meet all our needs. She answered every question, even those we hadn’t thought to ask, and did it with a smile and a greeting to every staff member and resident we passed. She is a gem, the property is lovely, and we will certainly return again to advance our plans for a future that will include Westminster Shores. Thanks Becky!

What a wonderful facility. I am currently on the waiting list and had a chance to visit friends in the new Sunrise Point building. The facility is first class, the apartment we visited was first class and the dining room was first class. The food was delicious and Larry Eppler, the chef visited our table to make sure everything was satisfactory. I'm a fan of Westminster!

To whom it may concern, I am writing to you to express my appreciation for the excellent customer service that Becky Johnson, Sales Director and Angela Huntley gave us during our visit at Westminster Shores in St. Pete last Friday. After Beckys presentation, Angela took her time and gave us a 2-hour tour through the whole area. She was outstanding in answering all our questions. I am incredibly pleased with the quality of customer service provided to Jane and myself. I know Westminster Shores is staffed with many outstanding professional men and women who put 110 percent into their job every day and many times receive no thanks in return. I want to let you know how much I appreciate the way your people are in helping their customers. It is individuals like Angela Huntley who reinforce Westminster Shores positive image to your customers, without a doubt we were extremely satisfied with the information she gave us and have a wonderful impression of your company. Much Appreciated, Jeff Thomas U.S. Air Force Freedom isnt FREE

My husband and I are beginning to explore options for our senior years. After looking at several options, Westminster Shores makes the very best impression. Weve now visited twice and Becky has patiently answered every question. The community is beautiful. The people (residents and employees) appear to be busy, content and cheerful. Most of all, we feel we can trust a stress-free experience living in a Westminster community.

We toured Westminster Shores on June 2nd. From the time we arrived at Reception we were treated as VIPs. April, Jesmary and Jeremy at the Reception area, Karen our shuttle driver and Becky in Sales - all of them exceeded our expectations - knowledgeable, courteous, patient with all our questions! The setting is absolutely gorgeous with the waterviews. All the residents we met were so friendly. It was overall a very pleasurable visit!

My husband and I recently had a tour of Westminster Shores. We were impressed with the many options for senior living and the setting is beautiful right on the waterfront overlooking Tampa Bay. The staff was friendly and the facility seems well maintained. As we continue our life plan it certainly is a place to consider and we would feel very fortunate to end up there.

I Wanted to share our families experience with relocating our mother and father in-law into Westminster Shores in ST. Pete. We researched 4 different independent and skilled nursing facilities and this property far exceeded all of the others we researched and toured. We met with Angela Huntley on our first visit and her care, compassion and commitment to not only help us get them into their facility which is usually almost completely full, she also took a very strong personal connection that still exists today With our family 18 months later. The facility is meticulously clean and in great repair. The food in the dining room is fantastic and a great variety of food and once the dining was forced to shut down due to Covid they immediately accommodated them with delivery at their requested time and the food remains to be top notch. The property sits on Little Bayou and Tampa Bay with some of the most spectacular views anywhere in the city. Then factor in the close proximity to downtown St. Pete and Tampa it was an easy decision. We want to thank the entire team including everyone in the office that explained everything in detail and made sure all of our questions were answered. Thanks Westminster!!!!!! JP

I was employed by Westminster Shores as HR Director for 14 years, and believe me there is no place like it. The setting is beyond beautiful, and the staff have always been outstanding. The residents are a fantastic group of people who blend into one large happy family who truly care about one another. There is so much for them to do, and staff who delight in seeing that the residents continue to enjoy life to its fullest. I loved my years there, and the Shores will always hold a place in my heart.

Hello, I am Dr. Marc Colaluce and have been your visiting Podiatrist for over 10 years. I have enjoyed watching the Shores transition over the years and bloom into a modern beautiful campus. The staff and residents here are wonderful and have welcomed me and my staff like family. I highly recommend Westminster Shores and have several of my office patients who have transitioned here. My position is to keep the resident on there feet and we do this by providing evaluation and treatment at the health clinic every first and third Wednesday. Come see us!

Home is where the heart is — and my heart is here at Westminster Shores!. The water is what first drew me to Westminster Shores, but there is so much more that keeps me here. When I first moved to The Shores, I only imagined myself being down here part of the year as I still own a home up north. Now, if I go back to Philadelphia a total of six weeks a year, that will be a lot! I'm hooked. I came to Florida to get away from winters, and for more sunshine. St. Petersburg holds the Guinness Book of World Records for the most consecutive sunny days and I’m enjoying each one. The St. Petersburg area is very desirable, weather-wise, and culturally, too. There are wonderful museums and musical venues, professional sports, and the beaches. Westminster Shores, in particular, has a really beautiful campus. I can be downtown in 10 or 15 minutes, yet living here is absolutely peaceful. You're in paradise. I am younger than most residents at The Shores but I didn't want to wait to move to a community like this! I'm retired. I deserve this! I want to enjoy every aspect of this fabulous place that I can, while I can. I'm in a community with retired people here, and that's what I am, too. Retired! My neighbors are so active: They kayak and fish and play pickleball. Fascinating people live here. They have become my family. It is a wonderful feeling to know that I have everything I need at The Shores. My every need is taken care of from my physical needs to maintenance on my apartment to social and fellowship events and to my meals. What more could I want! I also like the fact that I can travel without worries. Living here, I just close my door, and I have a feeling of security. I don't have to worry if my hot water heater is going to break, or if it snows, who will shovel the sidewalk in front of my house, or who's going to mow the lawn. It's wonderful!!!! Come and visit The Shores and you will love the experience!!!

We first heard about the concept of a Continuing Care Retirement Community like Westminster Shores from our neighbors. We used to talk about the fact that as people age they say that what accelerates the aging process is solitude and loneliness. So it's important from that point of view to be in a community where you have company, and plenty of activities. Once you go on your first visit, you're almost hooked! But we especially love living here. Here, we have a beautiful residence on the waterfront, spacious and lovely, fantastic kitchen. We enjoy having transportation to the symphony, so we don’t have to drive. We have the opportunity to play pickleball or kayak any time we want, too. Plus, we know that we’ll be taken care of for life — that’s the key reason to choose a CCRC. This was a big relief for our children, relieving them of the responsibility of caring for us as we got older. We also liked Westminster Communities of Florida is a not-for-profit, fiscally conservative and financially sound, and long-range plans for the future of our community.

We fell in love with Westminster Shores nine years ago, after serving as an Air Force chaplain and a minister. What a beautiful location! And we didn't want our children to have the problems that we had faced, helping our parents go from one assisted living to another, one nursing home to another. So choosing a Continuing Care Retirement Community has made a big difference in providing assurance to us. We often tell people: Take care in choosing your community and make sure you choose one that is fiscally sound and has a good track record — like Westminster Shores, with 60-plus years of successful operation. It's a not-for-profit community, and the profit goes back into making the community better. When you make that kind of an investment, you want to make sure you're choosing a community that is going to be around. We would really not have the kind of community and the relationships of our peers that we have, if we were still out living in our cul-de-sac. At the same time, you can still do whatever you want to do — and you don't have to do anything if you don't want to! This community is so diverse: We're friends with so many different people, and you don't just associate with people who think like you do, or do like you do. That's a very enriching experience.

We just lived across Little Bayou, at Banyan Bay, before we came here. I watched these buildings being built from on the bayou, and across the bayou. I jokingly tell everybody that we moved by kayak! I'm an outdoors person, and I waited until they finished the kayak dock before I'd even agree to move. Little Bayou is somewhere I spend a lot of time and just out in the bay. What they offer active residents here, with the kayak dock and the fishing, it's very important to me. And the buildings are just so beautiful. We live in Bay Breeze, and we were able to get the home that we wanted. It’s just ideal for the type of lifestyle we are interested in. The thing I most appreciate is that I no longer have the burden of homeownership. I don't have to worry about property taxes, flood insurance, property insurance. It's removed all of that. That's a fair amount of stress relief. The services provided here, combined with reducing the burden of homeownership, and your life is free of stress!

My late husband and I visited here, and I fell in love with it the moment I came here. We live in a really peaceful and serene natural setting. It’s beautiful, full of so many interesting people, and a Presbyterian Church-related community, all of which was very encouraging to me. But we put it on the back burner. After he passed, I had no hesitation. I was always clueless about keeping the house together. Sure, I could get on the phone and call a plumber or a roofer. But now I don't have to worry about it! I have housekeeping twice a month and someone to take care of the house and the yard. I haven’t even turned on the oven once in the four years I’ve lived here. It’s so nice to have someone taking care of these things. In the last four years, I have met so many wonderful, professional, caring, service-oriented people! I’ve become very involved in serving the community, after I retired from teaching, three years ago. I'm on five committees and I chair four of them. And I was elected volunteer of the year in 2016! I really feel that God was part of this decision. Because I came here, I became open to the needs of this community, and I really feel like I have expanded myself, opened myself up to other opportunities.

I had visited a resident here, way back when — and I was looking around and I thought, this is a nice place, if I ever need something like this. I had an unexpected major surgery, and was lucky enough to be discharged home. I decided that at my age, I could reasonably wake up in a hospital and it would be my last covered day of my stay, and now it would be an emergency decision made by someone who wasn't me. So I chose Westminster Shores! And it is so important that I can say, I chose to come here, I wasn’t “placed” here. I have been impressed at how much long-term staff we have here. They’ve been here 10, 20, 30 years. When employees are happy and taken care of and feel valued, they will stay — and those are the employees who do a good job of caring for us. Now that I live here, I feel like I've known a lot of my neighbors for years! No matter what you do, there's always someone to do it with. I love my apartment and spend time on my balcony looking at the water,trees and abundant birds. My dog & cat moved here with me and this community is so friendly to pets. I also enjoy being able to eat in the dining room with friends.The food is very nicely prepared and there is always something available to enjoy eating without need to shop, cook or clean up.
