Wickshire Tamarac

Wickshire Tamarac sits in Tamarac, FL, close to parks, shops, and HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital, and it's part of the Wickshire senior living communities, offering both assisted living and memory care and welcoming both independent and assisted living residents where folks can choose from private or shared studio, one-bedroom, and even two-bedroom apartments, with full kitchens or kitchenettes, nurse call systems, and bathrooms that are wheelchair friendly, plus the lovely detail of private patios and rooms filled with natural light, and everyone gets access to housekeeping, laundry, and building maintenance, along with transportation services, either complimentary or at-cost, with parking for residents who have a car. The building's got a welcoming entrance with a covered porte-cochère, a grand piano, a neat lobby with bookshelves, comfortable chairs, and fresh flowers, plus inviting common spaces for games, reading, and quiet time, a restaurant-style dining room with anytime dining, meals by chefs who keep special diets like low sodium or sugar in mind, even room service, and a private dining room for family gatherings or birthdays. There's always something happening, whether it's Wii bowling, stretching and yoga, Tai Chi class, art or cooking lessons, gardening, bingo, and trips, with devotional services both onsite and off, and a full-time activity director keeps the calendar busy with social and educational activities, intergenerational programs, and specialized memory care activities called Artistry of Moments, meant to help folks with Alzheimer's or dementia stay engaged. The secured memory care building means residents who wander are safe, and the property uses technology like bracelets to prevent folks with memory loss from leaving unnoticed; the whole place is designed for safety and calm, from the tranquil courtyard with shade trees and a screened porch, to paved walking paths and garden areas for fresh air. There's a wellness center, a salon and barber shop for regular hair or nail care, and nurses are there around the clock with a doctor on call, so residents get medication reminders, help with insulin and diabetic needs, behavioral care, hospice, incontinence support, and help with moving or transfers. Wickshire Tamarac works hard to match care to independence, using Individual Care Services (I-Care) for personalized support, helping residents stay independent as long as possible and adjusting care as needs change, making it possible for many to age in place, and they're pet-friendly, allowing cats and dogs with some pet care onsite. The community values veterans too, with programs like Aid and Attendance from the VA, discounts for service members, support for both veterans and spouses, and help with benefits. Residents and families remark on the high quality of care, the calm and friendly staff, the range of activities, and the home-cooked meal options, and there are awards and reviews that reflect the community's dedication. Wickshire Tamarac's design and programs aim for a safe, comfortable, stress-free lifestyle, encouraging everyone to get involved, make friends, and enjoy day-to-day living on their own terms, whether that's gardening in the courtyard, reading in the library, visiting the beautician, or joining in a cooking class or service in the chapel, and for those needing different levels of help, there's always staff ready-day or night-to assist with grooming, daily living, medical needs, or just a friendly hand, reminding each person they're welcome and supported.
