About Discovery Commons Newark in Newark, Delaware

Discovery Commons Newark, formerly known as The Vero at Newark, provides a vibrant lifestyle, including assisted living and Wellspring memory care. Our active senior living community is nestled in a quiet, residential neighborhood just outside of downtown Newark, near Handloff Park and the University of Delaware. We are just a short ride into downtown Newark, a Great American Main Street winner!

I visited this facility

I toured. I liked the rooms because they were nice, big, and spacious, and they allowed dogs. The bathroom was handicapped-accessible, so it was very big, and I wouldn't have to climb over a tub. The staff was friendly and nice. You can get the main dish they're serving, or you have a list of alternates, which I liked, but I had the main dish, shrimp, which was very good. The facility was very clean. I would change a couple of things, but I know that's a problem everywhere, so I'm not worrying about that. I like the size of the rooms. I could get a bedroom that fit my queen-sized bed with two dressers and a chair without a problem. In the living room, you could have a chair, a sofa and a TV stand. They have a lot of closet space, which some of the others didn't have.
