Wilshire Place

We put my brother in law there shortly after he turned 55 because of dementia issues. Even tho he was by far the youngest person there, he was never made to feel unwelcome, uncomfortable or unaccepted by any of the staff or other residents. He was given opportunities to shine by allowing him to have a purpose by doing things he was capable of doing. He was encouraged by staff and other residents to be the best he could possibly be. We came to visit him as frequently as we could. But because we lived in different states (Missouri and Oklahoma) it wasn’t as often as probably recommended. We never announced our arrival dates or times to staff and not once did we show up to find situations that were questionable. Because we were away so often, they lived on him like family. Were they perfect, I’m certain they were not. But the love and attention I witnessed to not just my brother in law, but the other residents was truly astounding. If I lived in Lubbock and had to go to a facility, there is no doubt in my mind that I would choose Wilshire.

We placed our loved one in a home at Wilshire on 4th in 2023. The staff immediately set out to make them feel like it was their own place. They work with each of their residents to find a schedule that works with the person. They accommodated meals in the room for most of a year. They handle meds and refills when needed. They do all of the personal care including haircuts and nail trims right at the facility, if desired. They plan daily, weekly and seasonal activities and programs. My loved one loves the auctions where they can win incidentals. All in all, it feels like they treat him as their own sweet grandpa. We love the staff and they love him. Win on our first placement and highly recommend.
