Wickshire Senior Living

It was super frustrating to not have anyone greet or guide my sister when she moved in, especially when we were told she would have someone show her the ropes for her first 2 weeks.

We have had a good experience with assisted living at Wickshire Creeks Crossing. It has been a pleasant transition for my dad, and the ladies that work there are very sweet.

Our family had an in person tour with Wickshire Countryside and overall we thought it was a good tour experience and nice community

I would tell others looking into Wickshire Countryside that all of that staff here are very friendly and helpful. Although the response time for the aids tends to be a little slow. The food seems to be very high in sodium. They also often run out of food that is on the menus. Overall I would still recommend Wickshire Countryside to others.

Overall I'm very satisfied- really nice staff. It the beginning stages of communication there were some unclear or misleading info regarding medication management fees, food, etc. just to make sure questions are asked so that expectations are clear. My loved one always complaints to me that the food has no taste, not sure... it may be an individuals specific taste perhaps... just not my thing...

Wickshire Port St. Lucie is a clean community and the staff who care for our loved one are caring, calm and patient. We would recommend the community to other families but the meals, dining service and activities need improvement.

I gave a 3 for quality of care because it depends on who is working. I gave a 4 on meals because they get later and later serving the meals. I gave a 3 on activities because there is very little in memory care, assisted living has ALOT more. I gave a 3 on value for the cost because if they could fix the other issues, this would be a 5. Still 10X's better than [community name removed].

We toured Wickshire Canton and it was a good tour. The facility was a good value and the staff were very nice. However, the facility itself was a little more dated and less clean than some of the other facilities that we toured.

The team was very helpful transitioning my Aunt from one facility to another although we weren’t able to be on site ourselves. They even found furniture for us to make my Aunt feel more at home. One staff member brought in her own tv for my aunt. There are three meals a day. My Aunt is in memory care unit and I am not present to see meal time. Staff reports that my aunt sometimes likes to eat in her room, I hear that they provide alternative meals on request.

I would choose them ONLY for their low price. We picked this community because of the price. I would recommend this place to others if, they are considering price only.

The admissions staff was easy to work with, and they were able to accommodate my financial and quality of life requirements. There's been some staff turnovers and it's taking a while to get her wheelchair and other items, but no significant issues. I would recommend this community to other families.

We got off to a rough beginning, but things have gotten so much better due to my advocacy for my spouse. I would tell others to just be present for your loved one; not every day but often. Sit with them at some meals; participate in some activities with them. Be visible as much as possible and ask questions.

Right after my loved one moved in they had a water main break. There was no water or the ability to flush the toilets. The community was using bottled water to assist with the care of the residents, and provide water for the residents to drink. They were able to fix the issue quickly; however, they are continuing to work to make sure everything is repaired. The food for the most part has been good. My loved one hasn't had any complaints about the food being served. The menu could get better, and deliver the food faster to the residents.

We chose Wickshire Port St. Lucie because of the value for the money - based on her income she could afford it. It was vey clean and the people were friendly. The studio she has is perfect for her and what she needs. [name removed] who helped us in the beginning was quite helpful and very honest. They have been very helpful with her medications. She is not a fan of the food at all - she says the meals are too salty. They have had a meeting with the chef, but I am not sure if any changes have been made yet. Overall I would recommend Wicksire to others looking.

The staff were all very nice and friendly. The facility itself at least over on the assisted living side had a nursing home feeling to it. They did have apartments for independent living, but my mom would not have qualified. Those looked very nice and the kitchens were large and the price was great. The location is in a spot with heavy traffic.

They did have some water damage recently. The pipes froze and burst a few weeks ago - but that was no fault of theirs. Other than that, things are going pretty well so far.

We've been very happy with this facility. All of our family says it's beautiful and that the staff is always glowing and friendly. The Sales and Marketing Manager that we've been working with has just been wonderful. The Business Office has been good, as well. We've had some issues with the Home Office as far as billing. For two months, they auto drafted more than they were supposed to for rent fees, which sent my loved one into somewhat of a panic. The first time, they refunded it to him. The second time, they credited it to his next month's rent. I think that's been resolved, I hope so! What stood out to us initially at this facility, was our tour/tour guide. She was very bubbly and truly seemed interested in hosting the tour and providing us with information. She was very genuine and was greeted by several residents during the tour who seemed to really enjoy her. They also accept VA Aid and Attendance here, which is very helpful for us! That has kicked in, but before it did they were great about working with us and our budget. My loved one has been very happy with the food. They also offer a good variety of activities and he enjoys them. Communication with the family has been good. Overall, I think we made a really good choice. It's been a great experience so far. I would, without a doubt, recommend them to family and friends.

While not perfect, I would still recommend it to other families. They're open to communication and have done what we needed them to do for our family member after we talked to them. Like most places, I think it's better to get there earlier on for assisted living vs. later on when you're too medially ill. But it's a place I would consider going myself. One thing I really like is that they make visiting easy. We're able to spend a lot of time with our family member, and I know that's not always the case at other places.

They had staffing problems, which have seemed to level out. They are working hard. The food could be better. They can improve by adding, more fresh veggies/fruits. The staff is very friendly, and thoughtful. They havel limited outside space, and the residents don't have transportation. So those are other things, that theycan improve on.

I liked the layout in Memory Care, two cozy living room/dining areas, it felt more like a home. Hardwood floors throughout gave a clean feel. Most staff were wonderful, caring and friendly. Very few were not. Memory Care did not seem to have many activities except watching TV or sitting on the patio. Kitchen was not very intuitive about mechanical soft diet.
