Caring Tessera
I'm very impressed with the staff which is caring and attentive to the memory care residents. Whether helping feed them or leading group activities or engaging them in conversation, they interact with each person at the appropriate level for their individual situation.

Our family has really enjoyed my mom's stay at Tessera of Brandon, they take wonderful care of her and ensure that she is safe. We have peace of mind knowing she is there. The staff is very attentive and loving towards not only my mom, but my family as well.

My mom has adjusted well. Food is great. There are different activities every they which keeps her interested in staying there even when I come to get her. At least every other week they have an outing to either shopping or lunch in a local restaurant. She enjoys these a lot! Tessera didn't have the room I wanted from the beginning but they were very flexible in accommodating my Mom and making sure she was comfortable. [name removed]and [name removed] communicate well with me via text as needed. Very accommodating and attentive with my Mom. Cleaning staff is friendly and detailed. If there is a last minute outing they text me to make sure we are aligned and I know where my Mom is at all times.

Staff is loving and kind (for the most part), they treat my Mom like she is their family and never fail to tell me they love her. The ate affectionate with her and she feels safe there. I trust them with her care--which is saying a LOT. Activities are ok. I would like to see more that require physical movement (bowling, balloon toss ...) and require less auditory commands (Bingo) Food is meh...some times too spicy for a senior pallet. I do appreciate the fact that they try to keep residents in the "least restrictive" environment and go the extra mile to keep my Mom in ALF and out of memory care. Residents look out for and care for/about their fellow residents. I love the routine environment. My Mom has done well there. I did just get my monthly statement with a huge (1K) increase, without a prior notice...would have appreciated a heads up on that! I am planning to speak to Wanda concerning that. I do realize that many utilities have sky rocketed so I understand the possible reasons. Just would have liked a notice with reasons for increase.

I would not recommend this facility for memory care. The food served to the memory care residents was not the same quality as the food served to the assisted living residents. The staff failed to secure my aunts room resulting is many items being taken from her room to include jewelry, hearing aids & food/juice. Reported concerns were repeatedly ignored. I relocated my aunt after 4 months at the facility.

Everyone is friendly. Everyone knows each other very well. Food is very good with several choices . Have to keep up with your medication they have "ran out" of dad's pain meds on several occasions. They respond well on any issues (maintenance, food, needing medical just what ever). As with all assessed living facilities they have a nice program of activities. With something special going on regularly. Although like most they have little activities most men would find interesting. They are open to suggestions Although it's difficult to find a practical and of interest for most men.

I would give this nightmare a negative 5 if that were at all possible! After spending thousands of dollars a month to secure care and safety for my mother-in-law, this place did not fulfill any of their promised expectations! They claim to be experts on dementia care, but regularly allowed my mother-in-law to be physically assaulted, often blaming her for their lack of supervision. Many times we would show up and she would be covered head to toe in her bodily fluids with staff completely unaware. They also on several occasions mixed up her medication’s because of their poor recordkeeping. This place is horribly under staffed. Every time we tried to work with them, to address these issues, they made promises that they would not fulfill, and excuses as to why things were never their fault. After trying for several months, we realized that she was not safe there and have moved her out much to their somehow surprise. They really only care about the money! They have no idea how fortunate th

Using A place for Mom allowed me to keep my cool and sanity while moving my Mom to a new ALF. The kindness and support from [name removed] was amazing and consistent. The staff at Tessara are caring and supportive. I appreciate that they help provide knowledge and understanding of the process of dementia. My Mom feels safe and is happy living there.

While no facility is perfect, I have been very pleased with Tessera of Brandon as a safe option for my aunt. The staff is very helpful and does their best to support & accommodate residents & family members. Their hurricane coverage was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to ensure the safety of residents and continuity of services. Families were also given regular updates on the status of the facility.

Mom is a handful to take care of, she constantly removes her pull-up and the plastic sheet from her sofa. [name removed] staff all knows Mom by name and are super friendly to her and family.

Putting the People you care for in a facility is hard on its own but overall care is good. I would recommend the facility if the loved one is Mobil and not as wheelchair bound as my loved one. The management staff are on top of their items they are handling but there is some disconnect with the nursing staff that actually handles the care. 8 out of 10 caregivers work wonderfully with the clients but there are always a few that spoil the bunch.The therapy group and the hairdresser that we have dealt with are wonderful. Loved one was pleasantly pleased with the kitchen and food. I have dealt with a couple facilities and this one is one of the better ones.

After mom being there a year we feel confident that she is being well taken care of. She's not an easy person to please at times but they all have smiles and warm greetings when they see her and us. Primarily we choose it for location but also for how the surroundings were kept up and the people who work there attitudes and demeanor. They are always pleasant.

Tessera is all fives. They have been great!!! Mom desperately needed 24 hour a day care and Tessera has provided that. Cost is only about 20% of what it would have been in her home.

There have been at least six MC directors in three years. 2020 to 2023. [name removed] was investigated by Adult Protective Services due to a unreported fall that resulted in a broken leg. The MC staff and director should have better knowledge of how to turn the bedridden residents, how to dress residents who have pain, and how to cut up food for those who can no longer use utensils. Food for those who can feed themselves with utensils is usually very good. The activities are good. The outdoor area for the MC is small, hot, and with sad landscaping. The MC office is lackadaisical with many wrong phone numbers and misplaced paperwork. The ladies at the sign-in area are the best! Since I have another family member in another MC facility in Tampa so I can say that [name removed] MC staff is not up to the standards that they should be as caregivers.

Nice place, but it took them way too long to start helping my mom with her care. There were some health scares with swollen feet, etc, that remained unnoticed. That should have been addressed immediately. They took her inhalers away. And she needed them as she has COPD. People were very nice and they enjoyed the activities. Food was a bit salty at times for people with heart issues. Other than that, they liked the place. But they are glad to be back home while they still can.

I would rate all categories a 5 except maybe Activities. I would give them a 4. But they are working on that. Like today they have alpacas visiting! They have music every week. Lots of Bingo unfortunately my Mom is not a bingo player yet. Lol There's a new Director and she is awesome [name removed]. Receptionists are wonderful. ALL the staff are very friendly, helpful. Residents all seem happy. Lots of hellos & smiles. Med techs are fantastic and very kind. Kitchen are very willing to help with menus & special diet my Mom has. They are very accommodating & willing to make anything better. We are very pleased. This is Mom's second apt. Pulled her out of [community name removed] after 5 months, unfriendly staff & no help in the kitchen. Food was awful.

Assisted means assisted. Know what care you need. Tessera was great. My loved one ended up needing nursing home not assisted and not memory care, so she went home.
