I toured Wickshire Senior Living and they seemed to have a lot of staff and they're very accommodating. It looked very nice. They were remodeling the whole place. They have a lovely outside area. We're walking past a gazebo. They have planter boxes you can put birdseed out by your room window so you can watch the birds. It seemed very nice, I wanted to go there.
They will provide a wheelchair if you can't walk that well or that long. They have a nice single room with a shower, bathroom, and a little kitchenette. They all have a window that looks out onto the yard, too.

I visited this facility
Wickshire South Lee Buford has a pretty good environment. I liked their cottage; it's a one-story house. I liked the price, the location, and the facility. The staff is patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. I saw the food, they had a list for the three meals, and it looked pretty good. They have a cottage with ranch-style living, they have a garage, it's very quiet, and it gives the impression of country living.
