Assisted Living Communities in Wilmington, DE

"Our mom has been at Ivy Gables since May 2015. She is 94 yr old and has been having ups and downs. The staff has been with us for everything. They are compassionate and caring. Due to the intimate size of the facility noone gets lost in the crowd. The food is fantastic and thought is taken for the indiviual taste. The room is a nice side and private. We are completely satisfied with everything at Ivy Gables. I could not recommend it more. "

"When our choir arrived at Merion Gardens, the residents had already been gathered in a small side room and were all seated on sofas. Inside the facility it smelled like Febreze the atmosphere was generally pleasant. The staff seemed friendly and attentive toward the residents and made sure they were comfortable while accommodating our choir as well. Because it was a Christmas/holiday themed visit, the staff provided our choir and the residents with refreshments, and assisted the residents around afterwards to speak with the students. Overall, I feel as though the staff were polite not only toward us but the residents as well. The environment was clean and well kept; even the bathroom was tidy and free from odor. I would definitely feel comfortable and at ease if a relative of mine were to stay in a facility like this one, because I would have confidence that they would be taken care of. "

"It was very nice. The staff was very welcoming. They seemed to know their residents really well. The biggest reason why we did not choose them was the location and the apartment setup. They had a large room that two people could absolutely live in, but it didn't have separate rooms. They had assisted living and memory care. The person who took me around was great. They had a mini fridge and a microwave in the room."

"It was very nice, and my mother enjoyed being there. But just because it was a very old building, the feeling was she would probably be in a wheelchair and they were really not set up for wheelchair accessibility. It was farther from us, so we felt that it would be better if she would be closer. When she went there, she was a person seeking independent living, and they had a nursing station downstairs, but the people there were expected to come and go pretty much on their own and in that way it was fine until she fell. It was a very friendly environment; it was very much like a small town, and the people were like small-town people. The staff was very friendly, but we didn’t have much interaction with them because mother was living independently. We were very satisfied with it. "

"I went to the one in Newark in the senior center area. The name is Brookdale White Chapel. I like the size of the room. I also like that the bedroom was off from the living room area. They have a nice looking dining facility, and they have a little exercise room. It is right next to the senior center so you can always walk over to it. They have a pool over there and a larger exercise room. This is the facility that I really liked. "

"We've chosen here for my mom. We loved it. The staff was very friendly. It's very clean, very modern, and uplifting. The grounds are just immaculate. It looks like a resort. I didn't observe any, but on the sign, they had a lot of activities that they do throughout the day."

"There's no full kitchen and no laundry facilities inside the apartments for assisted living at Juniper Village at Newark. The staff was courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly. It was beautiful, clean, and well- organized. They had an outdoor barbecue."

"I toured looking for a community for my uncle and think I've found the perfect fit! The salesperson, Helene, could not have more understanding and caring about my needs. The staff interacted so well with the residents and the rooms were very attractive. "

"Sunrise of Westtown was very good and I enjoyed the tour. It was a nice place. I saw a specific room that I thought would be perfect for my uncle. The rooms were nice, spacious and clean. I like the fact that it is only a couple of floors. It is more of a home experience as opposed to a hotel-looking place. It isn't enormous with tons of people, which I like, too. The staff members were very nice, very helpful and pleasant. Like I said, I enjoyed the experience. I like the fact that it feels more like a home as opposed to an apartment building or a hotel. There are so many people that I think would enjoy that as opposed to feeling they're living in a hotel somewhere. They have a seating area in each of the hallways."

"Sunrise was a very nice place. The people were also very nice. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. I was treated very well. They had quite a few activities, and I liked the accommodations. The rooms were nice, but they weren't for me because I am used to more space, as I had always lived in spacious surroundings. "

"I love Chestnut Ridge, and it is where my father is currently is now. I love the staff and the way they communicate. It is just so wonderful. It's a high-rise building, and the rooms are nice, but the bottom line with everything is the staff. They do have activities, and my dad participates in some of them."

"I toured Harmony at Glasgow. It's close to where my mother-in-law has always lived. Everybody seemed friendly, both the staff and the residents. They have the same amenities like meals, laundry, housekeeping, library, activity center, movie room, and washers and dryers if they want to. They do the laundry, but if the person wants to do their own, they can. They have large apartments compared to what I saw in some places. It's a large place, and it has 180 apartments, but I like it a little smaller than that. The staff who gave the tour was very nice, very outstanding, and helped as much as possible. The food smelled appetizing, and it looked very good. It's a brand new place, but I would call it more traditional-looking and not a modern-looking. They provide outings for the residents, though."

"Rose Tree Place is very nice. We like it there too. This facility was actually our second pick, but they had a couple more reviews that we didn't like. The staff was very nice. The rooms/apartments were very nice. It looked like they're living in a country club. They have like foyers, hallways, sitting areas, and outside areas also. The dining room was beautiful too. It was like a hotel fancy dining room. They have the same type of activities, e.g., bingo, arts and crafts, and sing-a-longs. As for amenities, they have laundry and hairdressing. Security and safety management was pretty good. What impresses me about this place are the people that work here and the appearance and overall cleanliness. "

"It was a great place. The staff member was very helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. She answered all the questions I had. The dining area was nice, but I did not try the food. They had a library, and an arts and crafts room."
