Wickshire Senior Living

Wickshire in Port St Lucie has been fantastic for my mother. She's very well taken care of. And because she's not a real bad memory care case they do bring her over into the assisted living side for the activities. Which is a big plus for her. They have a great assisted living facility and staff. And in memory care the people are very well taken care of.

The experience was excellent in every way: communication, caring staff, physical facility, entertainment.

The food and activities were great a year ago. Main reasons why we chose that facility. Since then the staff has changed several times and quality has diminished. There is a lot of staff turnover at this location.

This is my second review. Mom at Wickshire Memory unit for approximately 4 months. Still so impressed with this place. Excellent staff. Kind and caring. My mother seems very content. She is definitely well cared for. I visit daily. I believe she is thriving as much as a 95 year old with dementia can thrive. Amazing!! Lots of engaging activities throughout the day. Can’t say enough good things about Wickshire!!

On all 7 questions I would rate Wickshire as 5. My father is very well taken care of by the staff. He has gained weight so the food is very good. My mother was treated very well in the memory care unit. I would recommend Wickshire whole heartedly. My dad is very happy with his treatment and surroundings

Very nice staff. I would recommend to others.

[name removed] passed away [date removed]. He absolutely loved it there. Thank you to everyone who helped him while he was there.!! Everyone was awesome! I had the most contact with the ladies at the front desk. Wonderful people! And the maintenance people.

My mom was very reluctant at first to attend this, or any facility for respite care. She spent a month at Wickshire and she was pleasantly surprised I think. She appeared happy every time I visited, and being a loner typically, felt comfortable around the other residents and staff. She enjoyed most of the meals and even gained weight! The staff was very caring and supportive - very reassuring. I would like to make this a yearly respite stay for my mom.

From the beginning tour to the move-in day, the staff has been wonderful in helping us get our mom's new home ready. [name removed] was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. My sisters and I bugged her a lot. She was quick to respond and always helpful. We're looking forward to having our Mom transition to a safe, nurturing, and caring place. All the staff we've met so far have been lovely.

The facility fullfilled all that was expected.

I toured 5 memory care facilities in one week, which was quite overwhelming. When I walked into Wickshire I was impressed with the facility. From the outside one could tell it is an older building, but the inside is decorated nicely and clean and well-kept. [Name Removed] was welcoming and spent a lot of time with me, listening to my concerns and answering all my questions. The memory care wing was spotless, and had no odor, like a previous facility I had my mother in. I was pleasantly surprised when I was told some of the staff had been there as long as 15 years. I would recommend checking out this facility if you are looking for memory care for a family member. I read many, many, reviews before and after visiting and while the majority were good, there were some that were not so good, but in my experience, all the facilities have some negative reviews. I am giving them a chance to care for my mom, and so far I am impressed with the care and the communication from the staff and the facility.

I would suggest there is some room for improvement in communication from staff as I found this to be a little lacking. Overall I would highly recommend this facility. My sister was treated beautifully. She just moved out last month to be with her daughter in another state. I am so happy to have had your help finding this home for her. All staff were so kind and loving to my sister. The staff that I interacted with were always kind, helpful and more than willing/wanting to help my sister.

My mother in law fell and broke her hip and femur. We knew for now she could not come back home so used A Place for Mom for our search for assisted living. Wickshire Senior Living is the one we chose. It is very bright, they have lots of activities for the residents. My mother in law will continue to receive therapy there. Our move in experience was great with the help of [name removed] and [name removed]. I know my mother in law is going to love this place as she just moved in yesterday.

I would definitely recommend Wickshire Port St. Lucie to others. They have good rapport with the residents. The staff takes care of Mom in a very efficient way. The housekeeping is good. The food is great. However, we have to keep up with her medical needs constantly.

The staff at Wickshire Countryside was amazing. [Names removed] and the other Activity Director are top notch. The staff was great. Communication with the family was clear and transparent. I would recommend this facility to others.

Facility was well maintained and did not have any unpleasant odors as opposed to others we visited. The staff was super friendly and informative. The room we looked at and contracted for a family member will make for nice living quarters. The menu looked appetizing though we did not eat there. I have good feelings that our family will be very well taken care of and hopefully the staff will be a second family also??

Place for Mom rated this community highest and close proximity to family. Cost not prohibitive. I would recommend the community due to the understanding of the staff from beginning inquiry to placement. Understanding the emotional turmoil the family is feeling.

Our family visits twice a week. Mom is always busy with activities and has many friends. Food is always improving. Not totally happy with communication between administrators and family. They take very good care of mom and go out of the way to help her make the most of her days. Mom is 95. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend Wickshire Port St. Lucie to other families and already have. Mom has been there just over a year.

The only thing that really matters to me is that they made my mother feel welcome and safe. The staff there was wonderful, and I have no doubt it will continue. We were greeted and seated in moments after our arrival. The staff did a great job of showing us all the amenities available. We were treated to lunch and mom met quite a few of the other residents. Many of them offered to show her around when she moves in. I have no doubt she will be very happy at Wickshire.

We toured Wickshire Countryside and the tour was great. Everyone was friendly, staff and residents. The facility itself was okay. The carpeting is old and looks in need of replacement. We were invited to stay for lunch during our tour. Our tour guide was great.
