BRENTWOOD SENIOR LIVING AT ST. PETE

After visiting several assisted living facilities, my husband and I moved his mom into Wentworth at end of May after her hospitalization and rehab. It was the most reasonable,beautiful and clean facility we had seen, and the residents looked truly happy and cared for. Mom made several friends with the staff and residents. The nursing staff was excellent, especially, Jean, and they always went out of their way to help her when needed. There were a few exceptions to this, Shay the director of nursing, who was rude and threatening the nurses and patient aids if they showed too much kindness and compassion by helping her "beyond the scope of assisted living facility rules". Mom passed away November 25th 2025 after moving her Orlando health bayfront hospice care. Thank you to the staff of Wentworth for making her stay comfortable and happy.

Do NOT let your loved ones move into this horrendous place. The last 2 months have been a nightmare for my mother and the nightmare is finally over after successfully moving her to a loving home. After an initial meeting with Shay, the head of nursing, we requested a follow up after someone entered my mom's room without permission and took her medicine box. Nobody told her and nobody notified family. The result due to staffs lack of communication and compliance was that my mom didn't have 2 days of her medicine. When we broached the subject with Shay she became visibly defensive and agitated and began to raise her voice and use disrespectful language. She left the room and could be heard yelling from 100ft away at the office of Martha, the coordinator. Her tirade continued as we exited and included some more colorful and threatening language leaving my mom shaken and upset. This is the behavior from the HEAD of nursing! Disgusting. I stated we would be leaving asap but that process takes time. The fridge never worked in her room and the maintenance worker seemed to not care. We notified Melanie at front desk and she said that was the norm around here. The dining staff are rude and disrespectful. We requested medicine in advance to take on a trip and were given another residents medicine. Any of these events if isolated would be upsetting but forgivable. These events together over the course of 8 weeks? Well that's a violation of patient rights, abusive and appealing. RUN away from this place.

Shout out to Barb Wolford for all the joy, craziness and care she provides to Wentworth residents! As someone who cannot visit all the time, I am at peace and comfort knowing my mom at 95 has someone like Barb to help make her happy, and keep her engaged in activities. Thank you for all you do and the extra smiles you bring!!!!

Every time I visit there it is such a wonderful experience, from the Executive director, to the hospitality director (Annette) and the director of nursing (Raquel) everyone is so nice and caring. Also Wentworth is probably the nicest, cleanest assisted living facility in the area. You can just tell the residents are well taken care of, every time I am there they are always smiling and upbeat. When it comes to an assisted living facility, if the residents are happy, then you know everyone is doing a great job from the management to the employees.

My parents moved into Wentworth on Central about 6 months ago. I couldn't be happier with the decision to have them there. The staff is amazing, friendly, professional and very competent. The facilities are well kept, there are lots of activities and things for the residents to do. The food is excellent. They have a professional chef and kitchen staff to cater to individual's diets, etc. The medical care they receive at Wentworth is also top notch. Raquel, the director of nursing and wellness, and the rest of the medical staff are very caring, well-trained and educated in the caring of elderly people. They also have a PT on the premises, a doctor that comes a few times a week, and specialists also visit. If you are looking for an Assisted Living Facility in Tampa Bay, I'd highly recommend getting in touch with Alice or have a chat with their executive director Rebecca at Wentworth on Central for a tour. You won't be disappointed!
