I moved my mom to Wickshire Port St. Lucie in October. So far, it's been wonderful. The place is very clean. The residents are always clean. I think there are over 25 residents for memory care and there are only a handful that is bound to their wheelchairs. Everybody else is up and about. They're very caring people over there. They take time with the residents to make sure they're involved with activities. The memory director is wonderful. They've all been wonderful with my mom and the other residents that are there. They've been phenomenal. They know who I am when I come in there. They talk to me and keep me posted on what's going on with my mother. They make sure that she's getting a shower at least 2 to 3 days a week. They're making sure that she's clean, she's eating, and she has her meds. Everything that she needs, they're able to satisfy those needs. Her room is spacious. She has room in there to have a queen size bed. I was able to bring her stuff in, so she has a queen size bed, a dresser, a table, and a TV, and she still has a room. The closet is a decent size for memory care. I'm normally there about dinnertime, so I do get to see the food that comes on over to memory care from assisted living. They have two chefs on staff that do their meals of the day and then they have their everyday items. So far, everything's been fine. They do bingo. They will bring some of the residents upstairs to the assisted living side when certain events are going on. They do movie night or movie day. They do ice cream socials. They decorated cookies during the holidays. They have a lot of things that go on. There are at least 3 activities set a day for them. They will take my mom and her friend there outside for a walk around the building so they could see a different view. I'm very impressed with how clean it is. There's maintenance on site. So, if there's ever an issue with the room like if there's an outlet issue, you just put in a work order with the front desk, and then it gets taken care of in a timely manner. The linens are always clean because they do linens for all three meals. They have place settings that are set up for the residents when they eat their dinner, so they're not just eating on a wooden table. They do housekeeping weekly. They go in, dust, mop, sweep the floor, and clean the bathroom.

My brother has moved into Atria Port St. Lucie. They communicate with me very well. He's doing well there. They have exercising, music, and bible studues. I only toured it virtually and it was good.

Goodness, where do I begin? My dearest friend and mentor, lived at Horizon Bay/ Brookdale/Atria.The name changed,but the management,location and staff ALL stayed virtually unchanged for the whole period. That alone tells you something.The management, nurses, caregivers, dining, maintenance, contractors. everybody was great.1 year on the assisted living side and 3 years on the "Life Guidance" (memory care) side.Life Guidance side really shined, every single person was great 'til her last days. W/LOVE, EJ

I went to Atria Port St. Lucie. It seemed like a nice, caring community. I saw some exercise during my visit. They said that if someone was in memory care and needed more help, the price could go up from $200 to $700 per month. They gave me a flat fee, but then they said if the person needed 2 people to help him out of the chair, then the price could go up, and I didn't like that.

I wasn't happy at all with Atria Port St. Lucie memory care. My husband was a new intake and he fell the first night he was there, and that started a big mess. He didn't break anything, but he went to the hospital. They wanted to do physical therapy and I told them no because my husband has bone cancer so that's not going to help. They transferred him to hospice and he died three days later. They were very professional and the place was beautiful, but they were money-hungry. They made me pay for April 30th and all of May. June was supposed to be free, but the first week of June, they started calling me saying I need to get the furniture out of there. I told them, "Work with me here. He just died, and I have to make arrangements." It’s a beautiful place, but I think they have personal problems there. I don't know if I'd recommend them. My husband was there only one night and they're not working with me. It was traumatic. After the initial woman who helped me quit, I went up there to arrange to have furniture delivered, and nobody was available to talk to me except the head chef. He came out and the thing they wear to prepare food was just filthy and instead of white, it was gray.
