Wickshire Senior Living

My loved one loves the care services and the staff. They don't have a lot of activities and this is one of the main reasons that we wanted my loved one to go here. I would recommend this community for someone that needs assisted living. For someone with dementia I feel like there is another place with more activities where they would have better stimulation for their minds.

They've been great. I'm happy with it and feel it's the right place for my loved one to be at this stage of his life. I like how clean the facility is, and the location is good. There are a few individuals who have been very personable to him. And he tells me he loves the food.

Small apartments for more money.

The Wickshire community is spotless it gets 10/10 stars on the cleanliness and that is saying a lot coming from a clean freak. They always seem to have different things going on, everything is nicely decorated.

We chose Wickshire Tamarac because it is a smaller community, it felt very home like and warm and comfortable, and all of the staff were very friendly. They have been great about helping my mom get acclimated. I think it is a better fit for people who are more independent but need a little assistance. I definitely would recommend them and already have to some friends.

This was a very pleasant experience during the tour. It was too big for our needs. They do have pet therapy. Ultimately, it was too far from friends and family that was the drawback.

I thought Wickshire Port Orange was very nice. They gave a good tour. I just felt a little more comfortable overall with another place.

I never give anyone a perfect score. But Mom seems like she settled in relatively quickly. I was surprised she adapted as well as she did. I think it's been a positive experience. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. Anytime I've had a question, they've done what they can to help answer it. Mom seems happy with the food and says there's a pretty good variety. They're keeping her busy with activities too.

I would encourage you to look at this community for your loved one. I've already recommended some friends to look at the community. The price point is good for all you receive. My loved one would like to see more community outings; however, this may not be happening due to the pandemic.

Wickshire community has been on top of everything especially with this past year. The staff are very friendly and very attentive. Anytime we call with questions we always get answers. The food in the beginning was not the best because they were going through a transition, but now our loved one says it is much better. The activities are starting to come back, they through small holiday parties. Our loved one enjoyed the Cinco De Mayo party they had.

We toured Wickshire Countryside and it was a nice clean facility and everyone was friendly. They had a lot of cool amenities to offer such as a bar area where residents can go for happy hour. We did not choose the facility because the rooms were on the second floor so she would have had to take the elevator everyday and also the furniture was all pretty outdated.

Everyone was friendly, and it was a nice, small, intimate community. They continued to provide activities, even during Covid. Be careful before move-in- we moved in during Covid, based on a word of mouth assessment from the rehab facility my loved one was coming from. She ended up being at a higher level of care than what they had assessed, and was therefore at a higher level of care than Wickshire could provide. So we ended up having to move. I'm not sure whose fault that was, but it was a frustrating experience either way The place itself we were happy with. They treated us well, and everyone was friendly and helpful.

Our loved one is very happy at the community. He goes to an exercise class everyday and when the weather permits he loves to go outside.

They are a pretty good community. The activities are lacking. They lost their director and my parents wish there were more activities. Food is better.Now because of the pandemic they are bringing the food to their rooms and sometimes it is cold. Rooms are good size. The have an outdoor courtyard. I would recommend Atria to a friend.

Visited here on Sunday, it is not what we are looking for.

Dads quality of life has improved so much since moving here. He is so much happier he is doing the activities and socializing with the residents. The staff is wonderful here very friendly and nice they care about the residents. The community is always clean and looks nice. I would recommend them.

it was okay. a little outdated but they are getting ready to do some updating. Great promotions.

When we started looking for assisted living facilities near Palm Harbor, we reviewed and visited 8-9 different ones. Many of their features were equivalent; for example, the room sizes and amenities were similar in most cases, as were the dining facilities. We settled on our #2 choice, Horizon Bay Clearwater (now Brookdale Safety Harbor) based on 2 of our criteria - closeness to our home and cost (our #1 choice was $1000/month more expensive.) We give very high marks to almost every aspect of Safety Harbor. The ONLY area that we felt was less than excellent was the way in which the different staff/departments coordinated with one another in cases where the resident needed non-standard attention. We give a bit of a pass here because of the ongoing merger with Brookdale. Also, the week we moved Dad in, the executive director was absent due to a training meeting, and the head nurse was out on a critical day in Dad's care - no one's fault, just the ball taking a funny bounce. Likewise, the less than excellent rating for the activities is more of a reflection of how they fit Dad's needs than on the quality of the activities themselves or the dedication of the staff. For example, Dad, is a dedicated walker, and it is not realistic to expect the facility to accomodate his capacity for a daily 3 mile jaunt. But his needs are also not met by chair aerobics. If Dad's future is in memory care rather than assisted living we can accept that. However, in that case we MAY have to find a facility that has more secured outdoor walking space (there are 1 or two in the area) If your loved one falls clearly within the assisted living or memory care category, you will be very happy with Brookdale Safety Harbor.

Horizon Bay Clearwater has been working very well with my friend. The staff are very vigilant they make sure that he is comfortable and that his care needs are being met. The community is clean and up-kept at all times. The food is great it's tasty and very healthy the portions are very good as well. He is still having a little trouble getting adjusted to the community but overall everything has been great.
