Wiltshire looked good to me but once we got in the care is very below average. If somebody needs a lot of care this is not the place to go. The food is uneditable. But it's mostly the care is lacking if someone needs help with diabetes or other serious ailments.

Most of the staff has a great disposition and are friendly. But often requests aren’t answered or addressed as quickly as needed. The cottage units are really big, have great screened in porches and some are done up very nicely for but [amount removed] per month. But the food is the biggest detriment. It is often a casserole of some kind or a small sandwich. if you don’t live in the main building and live in the cottages, it is brought down to the clubhouse and thermal coolers which probably adds to it being lackluster.

Wickshire South Lee Buford had nice living units and were probably the most inexpensive, but they were like villas unattached to dining or activity areas so I was concerned about mobility for my mother accessing those amenities by foot, especially in inclement weather.
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.
The community is very short staffed; however, we realize a lot of places are. The staff they do have wear many hats. I would recommend you not wasting your time coming to the community. We have been very unhappy here. We have tried to address our concerns with management and the management team hasn't tried to resolve our issues for us. The management hasn't even gotten back to us about the concerns. During the tour we let the tour guide know that we had dietary restriction needs, and we were told that the community would work with us on this. The food in general hasn't been good. I don't believe the community has a dietitian on site. Some of the meals are high in carbs. There is a menu that the community will send out and there are times that the menu hasn't shown up yet and it is mid-day. The meals aren't served at consistent times for the residents.

We were not pleased with Wickshire. We feel that the staff here kept our loved one over-medicated so that they would be sedated and less of a problem. When we said something was wrong to them - they blew us off all the way up until the time that they called the ambulance. We went to see our loved one and all of us knew something was clearly wrong. The hospital found that the medications had built up in our loved ones system. Then they would not take our loved ones back. When we expressed concerns about our loves ones health, the staff said they checked, but in truth ignored our concerns and did not listen to us.
This is a small and cozy community. Everyone is very friendly and we have not complaints about being here. Its not a great big place it is rather small maybe 70 units but it is a nice community. We have activities like shopping, bingo, chair yoga and more for the residents to do.

The initial price we were quoted was much cheaper than the other facilities we visited. I became very concerned when that price increased 3 times before we signed the contract. However once my brother moved in he was accepted immediately by the other residents and became active in all the activities that were offered. He hasn’t uttered one complaint since he moved.
