The Waverly

Trinity, a planned community in northwest Pasco County built up largely since the 1990s along State Road 54, is home to The Waverly, a 130-bed community on Mercy Way. That scale puts The Waverly among the larger assisted living properties in this area, with enough residents to typically support multiple dining venues, organized activities, and staff working in shifts around the clock. Pasco County's growth along SR 54 has made this stretch near Trinity a draw for retirees relocating from the greater Tampa Bay area. A community this size is worth touring more than once, at different times of day, to see how staffing holds up outside a scheduled visit. Families should ask how the campus is divided by care level and whether moving between levels requires a new contract.
