Very happy

After watching a close friend in his seventies have two really awful experiences in places, I stepped in to help find a place. I was fortunate to get help from Place for Mom and we selected Wilshire Estates. It's a wonderful independent living community. My friend is really happy there. He's made many friends, loves the food, which as a vegetarian had been difficult in the other places, and stays active through the many activities there. He has one one of the smaller units, which is surprisingly spacious. He tells me regularly how blessed he is to be there.

[name removed] was very gracious in showing us the facility. We enjoyed the tour of the facility. we were impressed by the outdoor accomodations and features. The meal schedules are appropriately timed. The dining area large enough and conveniently located in a common accessible, open area of the building. The gym is adequately equipped. I can see myself enjoying regular use of its facilities. The decor, layout and atmosphere are attractively presented.

Everything is excellent: food, ambience, attentiveness and caring attitude of staff, cleanliness of the public areas as well as of the individual apartments. In short, this is a remarkable residence. The managers, [name removed] and [name removed], are exceptional, devoted professionals.

There has been a lot of transition so activities will probably improve. They are also looking for an Executive Chef so hopefully the food will improve! The value is great.

It seems a nice place and nicely run. The location seems so so ( a residential neighborhood north of Silver Spring). I am definitely considering it as a place to live in if I need some assisted living when I retire.

I'd highly recommend it

There has been a complete turnover of staff just in the last week. I was responding based on on the previous staff. I have not met the new people yet. As for the facility, it's very clean and there are a lot of amenities. The common areas are kept nice as well as the outside grounds. My mom's apartment is perfect for her and the bathroom is big.

The team there is friendly and caring, the residents help each other making it a caring well rounded community.

We gave the meals and dining a 2 because sometimes they do not have a vegetarian option for my loved one so they just gets fruit. I have had to ensure she has food stocked in the room because of this. My loved one isn't interested in the activities there but is very social with her peers. Hoping the price doesn't rise...The team there is friendly and caring, the residents help each other making it a caring well rounded community.

Beautiful place to live

My Aunt loves her apartment and has really embraced living there. The staff are caring and accommodating. The atmosphere is beautiful and for the most part, the food is pretty good. The new chef is doing a good job and cares how the residents feel about her food. This is a nice touch. My only ‘complaint’ would be that we should have been given a deadline to receive VA funding before being responsible on our own. The VA process is long and is out of our control. Other than that, it is a very lovely place and they really have tried to be accommodating, for which we are grateful.

A great place for your loved ones!

With the exception of quality of care, all of these are a five. We did not use that service. Wilshire was exceptional in so many ways. Especially friendliness of staff, cleanliness, and value for cost. If we are blessed and my mother recovers fully, we are hoping she can return here.

While our stay was short it was a wonderful experience, the staff was AMAZING, service was awesome, food was hit or miss, however the alternatives were sometimes more appealing than the primary meal. New chef so bumpy roads understood. Cleaning of main restrooms probably needs to be scheduled more frequently, but never underutilized.

My grandmother came from the [community name removed] I used to love eating with her. I read some of the complaints and the tenets aren't happy. Please look for another chef or hire another one to help this one. They could lesson the days of cleaning staff to wash 3 in the afternoon is to late as I wash my grandmother clothes. The food is not good at all its worst than hospital food. Please get another chef, I actually know a chef. The seniors deserve much better than that
