Wickshire Port St. Lucie

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.

My brother spent 2 weeks during a respite stay at Wickshire in PSL. He was very comfortable and enjoyed his time there. The staff and residents were wonderful The staff was very accommodating, personable, made him feel so special, like family .They have great activities, very nice restaurant and menu. The facility looks like a 5 star hotel, and the room he stayed in was beautiful, spacious, and cheery. I would absolutely recommend this beautiful facility.

My experience with Wickshire was Awesome, a friendly and family oriented feeling that you would love for you or your loved ones. Friendly and courteous staff that goes above and beyond their regular duties and responsibilities. This is the place to have loved ones and know that they will be well taken care of, and better for you pockets with most amenities included. Wickshire gives this warm and comforting feeling you will not find anywhere and the food is delicious.

Wickshire Port St. Lucie gets all 5 stars. One of my favorite part about the facility was the fact that residents can decorate their rooms to make them their own. They only small negative was some language barriers with staff members.

My mom has actually gotten better since moving in because of the structure there, and mentally she seems to be doing well with that. The staff do their best, and from what I can see, they don't have much turnover. So my mom knows everybody, which is nice. I think they keep the facility up very nicely. It looks very clean and nice. And the dining room is clean as well.

The activities are good and overall the value is really good. The staff are very friendly and nice towards our loved one and our family. However we do not really are for the quality of the meals and the plastic silverware.

The initial couple of weeks were difficult. There were problems with medication administration. As a new person coming into the community I don't think she got the amount of attention she needed to assimilate, especially coming in from a rehab facility. But I think a lot of that had to do with a problem with the nurse, who is no longer at Wickshire. My loved one was assigned an ambassador, but unfortunately the ambassador got impatient and frustrated with her. We were supposed to get a re-evaluation within 30 days, and 60 days in, that still hasn't happened. But the medication situation seems to have been corrected. And she's assimilating better now that she knows the mealtimes, where to go for things, and when. So it has been much much better. On the good side, the community is very active, and the staff is extremely friendly. Now that she's settled in, I'm so glad that she's there. I could have chosen facilities that were closer to where I live, but it's worth the drive to me because she's so happy. She tells all our family how much she and loves it there. She has so many friends, and they're always busy doing something.

A Place for Mom was a "God Sent" to help us through the ordeal of what to do! What are our options?-Thank you! Wickshire is perfect for our needs and not too small but not so large as to make navigating by our parents a problem. Helpful at all times.

It would be an okay place for your loved one to go to, it is a nice community. The food seems to be institution or hospital food like. Some of the activities offered are: art classes, games, and some additional for the residents to choose from.

We chose Atria Port St. Lucie because they were super friendly and accommodating on our tour. The other places we visited were a little more corporate and it did not seem so here. My dad is in the memory care unit and he has private room and private bathroom, it is very nice and spacious. In their dementia unit, they only have 16 rooms so there is better one on one care. The food here is very good and the chef will come out and talk to you one on one and make you what you would like if you do not like what is being served. I would highly recommend.
