Wickshire Tamarac offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care in one setting, making it possible for residents to transition between levels of support without changing communities. The team is trained to work with residents who wander, elope, display combative or other behavioral issues, stay awake at night, require special diets, or manage diabetes with oral medications. Memory Care programming is designed to accommodate advanced dementia, and the clinical staff coordinates closely with outside physicians to adapt care plans as conditions change.
Around-the-clock oversight is delivered by staff who have cleared background checks and who remain awake on night shifts. The building uses 24-hour security, door alarms, fenced front and rear areas, and pull-cord systems that either alert staff or dial 911. A full-time activity director keeps daily schedules moving, while on-site podiatry services and acceptance of psychiatric diagnoses help residents avoid disruptive off-site appointments. Care aides provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in walker and wheelchair support, standby guidance, and both one-person and two-person transfers.
Apartments are offered furnished, and residents can paint or decorate to make the space their own; cable is available in many but not all units. Independent living residents receive medication management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, linen service, and a monthly meal plan that can be tailored to individual schedules. Assisted Living and Memory Care residents have care staff nearby, but room features vary, so families should confirm specific layouts and options when touring.
Dining services use a set menu for predictability but also accept made-to-order requests at each meal. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the kitchen team can accommodate texture modifications, diabetic needs, low-sodium plans, and other physician-ordered diets. Nutrition monitoring is coordinated with caregivers to ensure residents who need prompting or full assistance at mealtime receive it.
The community is pet-friendly, wheelchair accessible, and includes a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, communal gardens, and reliable internet access. On-site religious services are scheduled regularly, and the property is located near public transportation for convenient off-site appointments and family visits. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
