Question 1

What kinds of activities and programs does TLC offer?

Accepted Answer

TLC is built around keeping members active, social, and genuinely engaged every single day. Our members enjoy a rotating schedule of activities that includes games, music, art projects, exercise, themed events, cooking demonstrations, gardening, holiday celebrations, and plenty of time connecting with friends.

Every day includes a hot, nutritious meal and snacks. We also incorporate programs designed to support cognitive engagement, balance, and mobility. The environment always feels more like a social club than a care facility. One family put it best: "It is like they go to a party every day."

Our activity calendar is updated monthly. Ask us to see a sample schedule when you call or visit.

Question 2

What is adult day care, and is it right for my loved one?

Accepted Answer

Adult day care is a licensed, professionally staffed program where older adults and adults living with conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, or other health challenges come during the day for social activities, therapeutic programs, meals, and supervised care. They return home in the evening.

It is the right choice if your loved one would benefit from structured social engagement, if they are spending too much time alone or becoming isolated, if you are concerned about their safety or cognitive stimulation during the day, or if you as a caregiver need time to work, rest, or attend to your own responsibilities.

TLC serves adults throughout the Oldsmar, Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough County area. If you are not sure whether it is the right fit, our free VIP Guest Day lets your loved one experience a day at TLC before any commitment is made.

Question 3

What does a typical day at TLC look like?

Accepted Answer

Members typically arrive in the morning and are greeted by our staff team. The day starts with breakfast and morning activities, then flows through a structured schedule that includes exercise or movement, group programs, social time, a hot lunch, afternoon activities, and additional engagement before departure. No two weeks are exactly alike because our calendar rotates to keep things fresh and engaging.

The environment is warm, structured, and designed to feel social rather than clinical. Members build friendships, look forward to coming, and often ask about what is happening the next day. Caregivers tell us their loved ones are happier, more alert, and more communicative since joining TLC.

We are happy to share a sample weekly schedule. Just ask when you call or visit.

Question 4

Do you have a program for people with Alzheimer's or dementia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TLC's Memory Support Program is specifically designed for individuals living with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and related memory conditions. Our structured daily routine, trained staff, and supervised environment provide a safe and stimulating setting that supports cognitive engagement and reduces anxiety.

Families often tell us that having a consistent, structured routine makes a noticeable difference at home too. When their loved one knows what to expect each day, it makes a real difference for the entire family.

If your loved one has received a diagnosis or you are starting to notice signs of memory change, give us a call at (813) 510-4000. Someone on our team will take the time to answer your questions and help you figure out if TLC is the right fit.

Question 5

What conditions or diagnoses do you serve?

Accepted Answer

TLC serves adults with a wide range of conditions including Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, Parkinson's disease, stroke and post-stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, diabetes and chronic health conditions, physical disabilities and mobility challenges, depression, anxiety, and general age-related decline.

We also serve adults who are simply looking for structured social engagement and activities. A loved one does not need a specific diagnosis to benefit from TLC. Call us at (813) 510-4000 and we will help you determine if our program is the right fit.

Question 6

What are your hours and days of operation?

Accepted Answer

TLC Adult Day Care and Recreation Center operates Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. We offer both full-day and half-day attendance options to fit your schedule and your loved one's needs.

If you have questions about scheduling or want to find the option that works best for your family, give us a call at (813) 510-4000 and we will be happy to help.

Question 7

What does adult day care cost?

Accepted Answer

Adult day care is the most affordable professional care option available for keeping your loved one at home. At TLC, our rates are a full day at $105 to $115 and a half day at $85.

To put that in perspective, professional in-home care for the same number of hours typically costs $200 or more per day, and assisted living facilities in the Tampa Bay area average over $4,000 per month. Adult day care gives your loved one professional supervised care and a full social program at a fraction of those costs.

We also accept Medicaid LTC, VA Aid and Attendance benefits, Area Agency on Aging program funding, and most private long-term care insurance policies, which can significantly reduce or eliminate your out-of-pocket cost. Not sure what you qualify for? Just give us a call at (813) 510-4000 and we will walk you through it.

Question 8

Does insurance cover adult day care?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Several insurance and benefit programs can help cover the cost of adult day care at TLC.

Medicaid Long-Term Care: TLC is a licensed Florida Medicaid LTC provider contracted with Simply Healthcare and Sunshine Health managed care plans.

Area Agency on Aging (AAA/CCE): The Community Care for the Elderly and other AAA-administered programs may cover adult day care for qualifying seniors.

VA Aid and Attendance: Eligible veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for this benefit to help cover care costs.

Private Long-Term Care Insurance: Many long-term care insurance policies include adult day care as a covered benefit. We can help you verify coverage.

Private Pay: Families who pay out of pocket benefit from our affordable rates and flexible scheduling.

Not sure what you qualify for? Just give us a call at (813) 510-4000 and we will walk you through it.

Question 9

What is the staff-to-member ratio?

Accepted Answer

TLC maintains staffing levels that meet or exceed Florida's licensed adult day care requirements. Our staff-to-member ratios are designed to ensure each member receives attentive, personalized care throughout the day, not just supervision.

Our team includes care staff, activity coordinators, and administrative support, all trained to work with seniors and adults living with cognitive and physical conditions. We also have bilingual staff members who are fluent in English and Spanish, so Spanish-speaking members and families are fully supported.

If you would like to meet our team before enrolling, we welcome you to schedule a visit. We are proud of the people who make TLC what it is.

Question 10

Are there transportation options available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Transportation is available and we actively help families find the right solution.

Pinellas County residents: TLC works with the PSTA Access program, a very affordable paratransit service available to qualifying members in Pinellas County. We can help you navigate the application and scheduling process and we stay actively involved in supporting members who use the program.

Hillsborough and Pasco County residents: We refer families to a trusted local transportation provider who serves our Hillsborough and Pasco County members. Call us and we will connect you directly.

Transportation should never be a barrier to getting the care and social engagement your loved one deserves. Call (813) 510-4000 and we will help you find a solution that works.

Question 11

My loved one needs care but I am not sure what options are available. Can someone help me?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Navigating the senior care landscape can feel overwhelming and you do not have to figure it out alone. Our team works with families every day to help them understand their options, evaluate the right level of care, and connect them with the right resources.

We have relationships with home health agencies, elder law attorneys, senior housing providers, veteran's benefit specialists, and other local professionals throughout the Oldsmar, Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco County area. Whether your loved one is right for TLC or another type of care entirely, we will give you honest guidance and point you in the right direction.
