Wickshire Countryside, located in Clearwater, Florida, is a senior living community focused on providing assisted living and memory care services. The facility is designed for older adults who need routine support with daily living activities, such as assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, including full assistance where required. The care team at Wickshire Countryside is trained to assist with medication management, diabetes care, incontinence care, and ambulatory needs. The community also accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses and offers support services specific to these needs. Medical resources on-site include access to a clinic, optometrist visits, and podiatry services. For residents with cognitive impairments, Wickshire Countryside provides a secured environment specifically designed to accommodate memory loss, featuring safety measures and dedicated care staff. The building is constructed with both indoor and outdoor walking paths, and secure outdoor areas, to support resident mobility and safety.
The community’s offerings include a barber and beauty salon, fitness programs, and group wellness classes such as yoga and chair yoga. Programming includes clubs and community groups, as well as recreational activities, social events, and holiday celebrations. Although some activities, particularly in the memory care unit, have been described as repetitive or insufficiently customized to resident interests, there is a regular schedule aimed at promoting engagement.
Wickshire Countryside provides complimentary transportation services for both medical appointments and non-medical outings in the surrounding Clearwater area. This transportation is intended to support residents’ access to healthcare providers, local shopping, social activities, and community events, further enhancing their independence and engagement with the broader community.
Resident and family feedback highlights several strengths of the facility, such as the friendliness and dedication of the staff, a welcoming admissions process, and reliable communication, though occasional delays in follow-up have been noted. Facility cleanliness and general maintenance are generally rated positively, but some families feel that aesthetic improvements are needed or that certain departments could be more responsive. While nursing and clinical care is frequently described as attentive for ambulatory or more independent residents, concerns have been raised regarding clinical staffing levels and the capacity to effectively support those with higher acuity needs or memory care requirements. Transparency about care needs, services provided, and any additional costs is frequently recommended by families.
Wickshire Countryside’s primary service model is suited for residents whose needs align with standard assisted living parameters rather than those seeking advanced clinical or highly individualized memory care. The community emphasizes individualized care plans and a supportive, clean environment, while families and residents are encouraged to seek clear information and set realistic expectations regarding the scope of available services.
Costs at this community start at $2,595 and range up to $4,675. The average price in the community is $3,100, which is less than the average price in the area of $5,213. The cost of assisted living in this area is essentially the same as the cost throughout the state. If the resident needs other services, additional services may increase the monthly cost.
