Wilshire Senior Living sits on a large 25-acre property in Burleson, Texas, where you'll find both peaceful gardens and a swimming pool for staying active, so folks can enjoy the outdoors or take a stroll on the walking paths without feeling boxed in, and with the whole place fully gated, you get that extra layer of safety, because security matters as you get older and want some peace of mind. The buildings are four stories tall and have about 100 units, which come in several floor plans-there are one, two, and three-bedroom choices, plus cottages with attached garages that give a home-like feel while still being close to neighbors and activities, and units come with walk-in closets, stainless steel kitchen appliances, full-size washer and dryer connections, granite countertops, and most even have private patios, some looking right out over a lake, which folks do appreciate. The whole community aims to feel friendly and relaxed without being showy, and people can bring their cats or dogs, though there's a fee and some breed limits, but the staff try to keep the place comfortable for both people and their pets, allowing for up to two pets per apartment.
People living here can pick from independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and there's also respite care if someone needs a shorter stay or some recovery help, so whether someone is still active and independent or needs extra support, they find a place here. For those who need help, services include medication reminders, personal care like bathing and dressing, and incontinence or non-ambulatory care, all given by compassionate caregivers, and there's a nurse on staff part-time for extra oversight. Memory care helps seniors with conditions like Alzheimer's in a safe setting made to cut down on confusion and keep people from wandering off, and the program tries to keep everyone's dignity and independence in mind the whole time.
There's a range of things to do each week thanks to the seven-day-a-week Enrichment Coordinator, who plans everything from arts and crafts, games, literary groups, music, and movie screenings in the theater room, to beginner yoga, tai chi, fitness classes, and even chair beach ball volleyball, because it's good for seniors to stay active and keep moving, and all of it's adjusted for different abilities. There are clubs and group events, too, like walking clubs and outings to shops or local events, and there's regular transportation available for doctor visits, errands, and social trips, so no one feels stuck in their apartment all the time. Residents have access to a business center, computer room, game and billiards areas, a salon and barbershop, coffee shop, general store, and a fitness center with good equipment, while WiFi and cable TV are included in most plans, so folks can keep up with news or talk to family online.
Meals tend to be a bright spot here-people choose between dining in a restaurant-style room with others or having meals delivered to their rooms, with a lot of customizable menus, chef-prepared meals, gluten-free or pureed options for those who need them, and even special diets like low-sodium or organic, and family or guests can join in for meals as well with advanced notice. Staff clean apartments every two weeks or as needed, change linens, handle laundry, take out trash, and cover water and gas utilities, and there are emergency alert systems in all units in case help's needed fast. Garage or parking lot parking is available for those with cars, and guests can visit or stay overnight when needed.
Wilshire Senior Living is managed by WindRiver Companies and was built in 2021, so most of the features are new and modern, with elevators, walk-in closets, and other conveniences making life easier for older adults, but the main focus tends to be on making everyone feel welcome and supported, whether they like to join group activities every day or just want to relax in their own space. The staff speak both English and Spanish, which can help families feel more comfortable, and there are many ways residents can pay, including some help for veterans and home sale assistance. Wilshire Senior Living sits close to neighborhoods like Auberge of Burleson, Riley, and Mariposa at Elk Drive, and being in the South Fort Worth-Burleson area makes it easy for family to visit, since it's near many main roads and other homes. People can ask for a brochure or talk to a senior living advisor if they want to learn more about the community and what it offers, but the place keeps its doors open and operates every day, with friendly staff ready to help from morning until evening.
