Use this checklist to compare Clearwater senior living communities fairly and avoid surprises.
Before you tour
Confirm the AHCA license type and inspection history on FloridaHealthFinder, check that the care level matches your parent's needs, and set a realistic budget including likely add-ons.
On the tour
Note cleanliness and smell, staff warmth, resident engagement, food quality, safety features, activity calendar, and how transparent they are about pricing. Get every fee in writing before deciding.
How Tampa Senior Advisor can help
We're a free, local senior-care advisory service for Tampa Bay families. We don't charge you — communities pay us a referral fee only if you choose to move in. If any of this feels overwhelming, tell us what's going on and we'll point you to the right next step, whether or not it involves a paid placement.
