The Gallery Tampa

I am writing a review for the Gallery Tampa (Valrico), not for myself as an incoming resident but for my mother, who will be one of the first residents as they open in November. Let me say that my Mom is not an easy one to please! She has high standards and expects a lot in where she lives. After the passing of my father last year and her partner for over 60 years, it has been a tough past year. She actually moved to another retirement community in Tampa earlier this year, and it was simply not the right fit for her. After several months, she moved back to her condo, all the while keeping in contact with Launa and monitoring the progress of the facilities. Every time they spoke, I could see her gravitating more and more to The Gallery. To this end, I have to tell you that Launa and Nick are nothing short of spectacular! Their commitment to making this a top-notch living community, their passion and energy in finding the right tenants, and their tireless efforts to hire the best people are truly admirable. My mother was sold, and I can't tell you how excited she is to move there and meet new friends with shared experiences. The multiple restaurants, the amenities, and the fact that the entire facility is brand new just adds to the excitement. While I can't comment on the move-in, what I can say is that we have looked at many independent and assisted living options (both in FL and in other states like CA), and The Gallery is right at the top of the list. Great work already, Launa and Nick, and look forward to move-in day coming up very shortly! The Gallery is definitely worth considering for yourself or a family member as it's one of the best I have seen in the Tampa area.

Nicholas McLaughlin did an incredible job helping us, he was very thorough in addressing every question and the presentation then tour of the facilities was fantastic. In short order Nick got know my 80 yr old aunt and had a clear picture of her wants and needs but he also made her feel safe and comfortable. There was zero pressure tactics used, he simply provided the information and put it all in context as it relates to my aunts needs. He provided many options and a few hours later we left with peace of mind that our family member would be well provided for at the wonderful community. My aunt went from “just looking” to I can’t wait to live here! She is already feeling better about her future and Nick played a huge part in that. Thank you.

I was lucky enough to visit and stay at The Gallery in one of their hospitality suites. Can I just say WOW!!!! Not only was the apartment spacious and beautifully decorated, but it was the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. The entire team, including Launa and Michele, made me feel so welcomed and invited. It’s super exciting to see them getting closer to opening date. I’m looking forward to meeting all the residents and seeing it live!
