I've been in Renaissance-North Tampa for maybe nine months now. It's very pleasant, very well kept, and very clean. During the COVID scare, they were extremely careful. They used to deliver the meals so that we weren't exposed to anyone, and as soon as the vaccines are available, we got them without any problem and we didn't have to call anybody or wait in long lines, they were here, and it was done fast. It was wonderful. I have a two-bedroom. What I liked about it was I had been in touch with them years ago and because of the COVID, I put everything on hold and then when my house went on the market, it's so fast that I needed a place to go and they had something available. I asked them to remove the carpeting and replace it with vinyl flooring, and they did that within a few days. By the time I moved in, everything was taken care of. What I like about it is that it is safe, the residents are marvelous, and the staff is extremely helpful. Because of the COVID, they limit their activities. You have to sign up and they have a limited number, but now, of course, that's easing a little bit. They used to have outings and everything. I haven't been to any of the outings because they haven't offered them, but they have transportation that if you need to go to a doctor or whatever, they arrange it for you. If you want to go grocery shopping, they will take you, so it's very convenient. Now, I'm very independent. I have my own car, so I don't use a lot of their facilities, but the facilities are available. We are short-staffed but the ones that are here do the very best they can. It's difficult. Sometimes there is one person to handle all the calls and everything so we can get a little bit hectic, but everyone is so understanding of what's going on that I have never seen anyone get upset. We are at the point now that they are trying to get the meals back, but they still need staff to staff the kitchen and the waiters and everything, but they're trying to get back to that. The food is very good quality. If I was a dessert person, I would be in heaven, so I have no problems with that. They have three buildings. There is one for independent living, and that's three stories. There is the assisted living, which is one story, and also memory, which is one story. Each of these has its staff, and its cooking and whatever. Everything is done differently. This is the layout of the place, but the grounds are very, very well. I haven't seen any mosquitos or problems like that outside. They have beautiful flowers. Just before the weather gets bad, they try to trim the trees so that nothing falls. They're extremely meticulous when it comes to that. They'll take you shopping if you need them, they have yoga classes, exercise classes, and equipment that you can use, and they try to have entertainment by the pool at least once a week.

Renaissance - North Tampa was very nice. That was our second choice, and Mom almost went there. The apartments were very nice and neatly set up. It's more like a close knit community, but my mom has lived on her own for so long, so the other facility we checked out fits her more. Stephanie toured us and she was very friendly. The tour was outstanding, because some of the residents came up and chatted with us about the best experiences they had. They just had about everything one can offer, like a great pool, a good workout area, activities room, a nice cafe, and a nice theater room, but they do not have a dog park.

I had a tour at Renaissance in Tampa and the locale was good. What they offered and what they had were all good. They had amenities, food, internet, TV, and everything is included. The building is all independent. I had lunch there and the food was good.

So far, everything in Renaissance - North Tampa has been nice. The people I met and the staff are super nice. Everybody's friendly. The facility doesn't have storage, but that's alright. I like the facility. They also have a calendar full of activities. They have bingo, crafts, and a lot more.

My husband and I are together at the Renaissance in Tampa. It is comfortable, very clean, quiet, the people are very nice, the help is very nice, the rooms are spacious, the ceilings are high, it's concrete, so it's super quiet. They offer everything we need. We're in the independent living. My husband is disabled, but I am fine, so with help I'm able to take care of him. The facilities are awesome, they're great. The facility is massive, it's wonderful. I haven't tried the activities. This is 13 acres, not what you would call an uptown. There's a lot of industrial things around it, but it's secluded, and you're not really bothered by it. If you were looking for an "elite address," this is not it. It's right by everything. It's very close to all kinds of facilities.

I enjoy spending time in my room as the kitchen is well equipped and the bedroom and living room are a perfect size for me. The maintenance staff responds directly though we must pay for items needed for the buildings benefit. I love our new activities director who offers activities for almost every bodies enjoyment but there are a few residents that are never happy. The staff is attentive, but as most places, a few are rude and abrupt when information is needed. The covid19 situation has changed our daily lives and we are fortunate to have management that keep us informed as to cleanliness and rules which have kept all of us safe and with negative test results. The dining room changes rules constantly and I was told that unless I eat there, I can’t come in only to socialize. This is the place that has the most complaints and, also, a few of the wait help decide to make their own rules daily and the chef has an attitude that most of us are always wrong. I had my own restaurant and had Food and Restaurant certification and I know what fine dining is and this isn’t what we expected. Perhaps our living conditions will improve when covid19 is in the past. Currently is not the time to move here.

My mother is on her way to Allegro. We chose it because of the friendliness and the openness of the staff as well as the residents that were there. They not only appeared happy, but they were very open and welcoming. The rooms were wonderful, had everything that you need, perfect size and very new. The dining area was wonderful. They had a resident counsel, so all of the activities are decided by the residents themselves, and they keep a very busy calendar. If those things are engaging to them, they continue to keep them there, and if they're not, they change them.

Renaissance Senior Living was all redone and renovated recently. The apartments were adequate. They have adequate activities like games and trips, and they have a couple of game rooms. They have a library, a swimming pool and an exercise facility. The menu looked OK, and the dining room area was adequate, and attractive enough. The staff was very accommodating, knowledgeable, and pleasant. It looked like there was adequate parking.

The tour guide that took us through Renaissance Senior Living was very nice, helpful, and very informative. However, they hesitated in taking my husband because he has a PEG tube, which was a bit of a concern for me. They weren't really equipped for someone in that position. The grounds were nice, but it was very sunny. There weren't any trees or shaded areas, and I need to be in that kind of environment because I burn really easy. The pricing was really good. It was one of the ones we were seriously considering, but the one thing that kept us away was a lot of sun. The lady was very knowledgeable and tried to help answer our questions involving moving from assisted living to full nursing. She was very accommodating with our insurance, and they were extremely friendly. The residents were having a meal and it looked very good and well-prepared. It was very neat.
