I visited a lot of assisted living places in New Castle County and ended up choosing the Lorelton and glad I did. They have many upgrades in progress that will make it even better. The administrator was very helpful with pricing and selection of the right apartment for my 96 year old Mother. My mother is checked on every hour or more. The food selection is great. She has only been there for four months and she is more alive and with it then ever. She is up and dressed before breakfast and ready for a full day of exciting activities. Simply the BEST !

The Lorelton was a very nice and very clean facility. The people that we spoke to were very accommodating. They were just limited on the number of rooms that were available based on what we were looking for. The facility used to be an old school. From the outside there were updates that needed to be done, and I think they were talking about replacing windows. Right when you walk in the front door, they could also fix that up to be a little bit more welcoming to guests. The rest was very well kept up. The people that we met were very helpful, very accommodating, and very knowledgeable. They have a courtyard. It was smaller, but it was very, very nice, very well kept, and maintained.

We went to The Lorelton. It seemed like all the staff there were really friendly. It was very clean. The place looked like a home away from home. I thought it was a great place. The rooms were nice, they were like apartments. They had a nice greenhouse for those who want to plant. They had activities every day. They just had a really nice gala, like a Christmas carol. It was really cute. I was really disappointed they didn't accept my mom. What they need to improve on is communication. Like they never got back to me to tell me that we weren't accepted into the community. I thought we had a good rapport (myself and the admissions person), but she could have called me back and just said, 'hey, you didn't get accepted.' That was the only disappointing part about The Lorelton.

I was very happy with The Lorelton. The person who did the tour was excellent. I liked the fact that it was an older building, which I think my mother will like. They converted an old school into a center, and they put a lot of work into it. I was impressed with the memory care. The rooms were reasonably sized and had very high ceilings. It was very clean. It was carpeted and had its own bathroom. It was nice. The dining area was also very nice. They had a room where everybody can go in to sit, relax, and socialize.

Lorelton. Quite a place, if you’re elderly and need some assistance. My brother Tom is still acclimatizing to Lorelton, after nearly eighty years of living on his own. In his second year, he serves on a committee or two and can always get the ear of the Director, and the Chiefs of Operations. Kind of hard to get them to change stuff, but they listen to him. And they care about him. His aches and his troubles. Tom can talk to a nurse, talk to a cook, and they listen too. Lorelton is quite the place to live, if you’re old and need some help getting around. Just ask the folks who live there.

Feels like home when you can't be home any longer. Facility is clean & cheerfully decorated. Consistent maintenance and recent upgrades to the lobby, entrance and carpeting throughout . Everyone from security through administrator know the residents and what is going on in their lives. Provides a friendly, happy, secure place to live.

The staff and residents are all very friendly and helpful. When my 91 yr old mother moved in, she was hesitant to go to the dining hall because she didn't know anyone. The staff noticed this and every day someone would go to her room and walk with her to the dining hall until she made friends and felt comfortable.

I took my father to the Lorelton after two difficult months of trying to care for him in my own home. The nursing director and her deputy had seen him on a good day and thought he would be a candidate for assisted living. He had trouble right away, and the nursing director went out of her way to make sure he was safe and comfortable, posting a nurse's aide to watch him overnight. By the next day he had begun to adjust. I think they saved his life. Now a month later he seems happy there, and I know he is well cared for in a charming building. He enjoys the meals and snacks. But mostly it is the warmth and caring of the staff that keeps us all going.

About The Lorelton in Wilmington, DE
Built in 1932, The Lorelton building was originally the historic Charles B. Elementary School. Taking up and entire city block, our amazing architectural structure gives our residents not only a great deal of space but each apartment features high ceilings and literally endless walls of windows. The Lorelton is owned by a Foundation not a chain. We are Non-Profit so we keep our rates reasonable. We are locally owned and managed so we have the flexibility to incorporate our resident’s wants and needs into their day rather than rules dictated by a corporate VP via conference call.
