Best Care is probably one of the worst assisted livings I've had the displeasure of coming across. If you don't believe me, you can easily go to the AHCA website, search their name and see all the violations and fines they've accumulated just over the last few years. Elopement, medication issues, staff not being able to identify residents who have issues, staff not having the proper training. I have no idea how this facility keeps it license, sad. Administrator couldn't care less, just lines the pockets of the owners I guess.

Horrible facility, horrible administrator and staff. This place is the lowest of the low and I feel for any individual who ends up here. I consider what I saw there neglect. You want to call the facilty? Enjoy getting rerouted to a third party answering service in another country. Actually get the administrator or staff on the phone? Enjoy a bad attitude and no care. There are plenty of other options in Tampa to place your family, this is by far the worst of them.
