Wealshire Snapshot
The definition of Wealshire sums up our philosophy of care as no other words can. We strive to provide the best care possible in order to give the person with dementia a sense of well being by living with pride and dignity.
Our goal is to provide a socialized approach to care where residents are provided with opportunities to maintain their highest level of functioning throughout the progressive disease process. Staff is specifically trained in dementia care and will be utilizing the Progressively Lowered Stress Threshold (PLST) model in order to help residents achieve their functioning goal and preserve their quality of life.

Thomas A. Wiskow was the founder, President and CEO of a 162- resident Alzheimer’s care facility in Rogers, Minnesota that was built in memory and honor of his father who had died of Alzheimer’s in November of 1996. At his father’s funeral, Mr. Wiskow vowed that he would create a home-away-from-home so others with this devastating and progressive disease could live with enhanced pride and dignity.
Mr. Wiskow’s two years of extensive Alzheimer/Dementia care due-diligence in research convinced him that a new type of resident care community was needed that would allow Alzheimer’s residents to live within the level of their disease, and the “resident-to-care-provider” staffing ratios must be improved significantly. In addition, resident programming must be conducted daily, and they would not discharge residents when the care requirements of this disease became intensive.
When Mr. Wiskow’s newly designed Alzheimer Dementia care community opened in August of 1999, his mother was their first resident, and she resided there until her death in August of 2001.
The Wellstead of Rogers was financially successful, and against Mr. Wiskow’s wishes, the Company’s Board of Directors voted 3-2 to sell the Wellstead of Rogers on February 29, 2008 to a large firm from Massachusetts that specializes in senior healthcare related activities. The Wellstead of Rogers, and its many dedicated employees, will always have a special place in the heart of Mr. Wiskow.
Mr. Wiskow’s passion for being of greater assistance to individuals with Alzheimer’s, or some other form of dementia, would not allow him to seriously consider retirement. Therefore, since 2008, Mr. Wiskow has been actively involved and instrumental in establishing the Wealshire, LLC, a company dedicated to providing the best possible dementia and Alzheimer’s care in the State of Minnesota. In July of 2010, the Wealshire, LLC broke ground on a proposed 2-Phase, 130-resident dementia and Alzheimer’s specific care facility in Bloomington, Minnesota. The company will conduct its business under the Wealshire of Bloomington name.
