Wickshire Senior Living

My experience has been good so far.

Wickshire Wilmette is definitely a warm and welcoming environment, but we were not able to move into the community due to the value. It was just to expensive.

We chose Wickshire Oklahoma City because of the affordability as well as we really liked the atmosphere and the staff members. The staff have been extremely friendly and helpful and take great care of my mother in law. The rooms are absolutely beautiful and very spacious. At the time we were looking they had a chef, but now they do not. They are having a hard time keeping a cook so they do not always go off the menu, what you see is not what you get. Starting in March, they are shutting down the facility to renovate it, so residents will have to move out. They are moving residents out free of charge to the Wickshire in Norman while these changes happen. Overall I would highly recommend this facility to others looking.

I am perfectly content with Horizon Bay. We didn't have the welcome they usually get, but we came in a little under the radar. But we haven't had any major complaints. They are a great location, and I would place any senior there. I would highly recommend them.

The managers who run the place are stellar, they are very nice. The maintenance department has trouble finding people to work though, their services are really super. It takes forever for her laundry to be clean and to respond to repairs.

The managers who run the place are stellar, they are very nice people. However, the maintenance department has trouble finding people to work, the services are really sub-par. It takes a long time for them to respond to repair requests, and the laundry service is also very slow.

They have been very helpful and cooperative and responsive when I call and ask questions. Mom is definitely happy there. Well, as happy as my mom can be. lol

Very friendly staff. Great location. The place is so nice and clean. Extended dinning times and choices. Price met our budget. Great 1 bedroom apartment with kitchenette available. Love the staff!

This is about the memory care portion, also know as Clairebridge. When my mother needed memory care I first encountered Clairebridge in Gainesville, FL, I like the unit there (all memory care in a stand alone building). I liked the facility and staff better than the next available national company, Emiritus. But following discussion we determined it would be more advantageous to be closer to my residence, so we investigated Clairebridge at Horizon Bay (Clearwater, FL). Here too I was impressed by the dedication and quality of the staff. The facility is clean, safe and well run. I feel that my mother gets the attention and services she needs while the staff is courteous and respectful. At Horizon Bay the memory care unit is only 20 rooms in one wing of the building on the ground floor. They have their own eating area, as well as an outside garden area easily accessed.

I have been a resident for 3 years. This is my home now and I'm very happy and comfortable. I have many friends and we try to participate in as many activities as possible. The activities are to my liking; there are many ways to keep busy. As a matter of fact, I'm the Vice President of the Residents Council, which I enjoy! The council's job is to find new ways to improve our everyday living. I have the support of my son and daughter who live nearby so I feel more fortunate than some other residents, but Horizon Bay tries hard to accommodate everyone's needs. The Horizon Bay facility is just one part of the much larger Brookdale community but it still manages to feel like a cozy home.

Since my mom got there the marketing director quit, a new financial person & nurse had just started and I just heard they fired the executive director! Better communication with family members is needed. We had some growing pains when my mom got there and if I did not have private caregivers with her I would not have known what was happening. All in all it is a decent place. You just need to make sure the staff knows what your loved one needs.

It's memory care so hard to really do activities. It's expensive but all inclusive so that makes it a good value. I would recommend Wickshire.

I would highly recommend Wickshire Countryside to others looking.

We are confident Dad is in a caring place; there can be improvements. The cleanliness is reflective of dads messes though. Everyone is friendly. One person wasn't always, but she is no longer there. All the attendants are helpful and kind. The medication management is confusing. We briefly used the service & are thankful dad is able to manage his medications. I've enjoyed some meals there and they serve the residents well and give options on the menu. They always have activities going on & keep the residents involved in the community. I am thankful Dad is in a good place with people who care!! Also thankful for patriot angels who helped us secure funds through veterans services. God is good! Thank you to A Place for Mom for helping us find a great place for dad lol!

I definitely would recommend it, however, they need to keep close. Contact on medical issues and follow up. Food is good activities are great personnel is very friendly and accommodating. [name removed] assume anything

My mother is content there. That's all that matters to me. She says she is treated fairly well and the staff is friendly.

I would say that Wickshire is a good place with a few problems any place will have. "No place is perfect. But the place is very attractive & the staff is friendly! I like having my own space. There are great activities & the food is good most of the time. My main is with the number of residents who are confused & mentally impaired.

The facility and staff were very nice. I would have liked more communication from them the first few weeks. They had a system set up for this, but it didn't work. I would have like to see more attention to my brother during initial transition. If I didn't have other health care workers going to visit him I would not have known how poorly he was doing. Unfortunately he passed away after living there for 7 weeks. He missed his home. However he was unable to adequately care for himself and needed to be in a facility.

Thank you to [name removed] the nurse that took time with my dad helping us fill out forms for the VA, thank you to [name removed] for jumping in with positivity! Thank you to the kitchen staff for being kind to my dad and joking with him. Thank you to [name removed] for providing excellent service at Wickshire. [name removed] is nice to our dad & jokes around with him too. Checks up on him medically! ?? Also [name removed]the business manager has been very helpful & understanding with the financial aspect! [name removed], [name removed]& [name removed]are all very nice receptionists! They have filled out work orders, added Dad to the shuttle schedule for doctors appointments and are always nice and positive when we talk to them over the phone and in person.

My overall experience was good, there were some concerns in the beginning as to my Moms care, but things seem to be better now. We felt Wickshire would be a good fit, its just the right size and convenient for our family. The staff are very attentive to the residents and that was important to us.
