Wickshire Senior Living

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were on the second floor so she would have had to take the elevator everyday and also the furniture was all pretty outdated.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 a little outdated but they are getting ready to do some updating.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.

My loved one has only been here a short time, but so far our experience has been a positive one. She has settled in, and seems to be doing well here.

Great facility with nice apartments and lots of amenities. The place is clean and well managed and the staff is super friendly. The food could be better. The residents are always active and so nice. Nice place.

about 7 min. drive from Oldmar so that appeals... lovely outdoor courtyard... but not nearly as beautiful as on the water!

We toured with Wickshire Tamarac and the facility was very clean, but I just did not get that warm and fuzzy feeling that I was looking for.

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 thought this place was just okay. It's located in a great area, but it had no curb appeal. Its kind of cramped in between two other buildings, so there's not much outside as far as views, and the grounds weren't conducive to outside gatherings.

I really like it here, everybody is so friendly and helpful. The food is mostly good, but once a while things there are things that I can't eat or don't like. To be expected, I guess. I like the weekly cleaning, vacuuming, etc and laundry services. The only thing I don't like is that they are charging me $137 a month for an oxygen machine. I didn't know upfront that it would be an issue. It may be resolved, however. Overall, I would recommend it.

My brother past away and they charged him room and board even when he was no longer here on earth. Unfortunately, he was there for 3 days but it seems like it was a nice place until you talk about getting your money back for services not rendered.

At first meeting seemed very nice, place was clean, and they were referred. Bad decision. Poorly trained and immature staff.

The sales persons were beyond excellent. The place is old, and needs major updating and renovations. It was more expensive than a brand new updated facility in town.

Community is very safe. The Activity Department is very proactive in encouraging residents to participate in different activities. The facility is clean and dining room offers a variety of meals to satisfy most people. They do need more aides to assist the amount of residents and more monitoring.
