My father has moved into Madeline Care Center. It's been a pretty good experience so far. His room was completely flipped. He had fresh paint and brand new laminated flooring, so it's very nice. He's in rest residential, which is assisted living in Delaware. They do not have very many activities, but I was told that an activity director was hired last week. There's not many choices per meal, but he likes the breakfast. The soup I had was good. The facility is like an old home almost, so they're renovating part of it. It's outdated, but the rooms are humongous, and I was very impressed with that. They have a library, and the dining room is very nice and has linen tablecloths. The staff is very friendly. Anytime I've asked for something to be done or changed, they jump right on it, and they do their best to accommodate us.

Madeline Care Center was terrible. I was shocked when I walked in there. It was old. They need to put some serious money into rehabbing it. It was just a hallway with a bunch of rooms. It was sort of below ground. It was not a good place to be. I feel sorry for anybody who lives there. However, the rooms looked OK. The staff member who assisted me was outstanding. She was very knowledgeable, but it was not much of a facility. They need to build a new building and update everything.

My brother-in-law's been placed in Weston Senior Living at Highfield, and it's very good. It has a very homey atmosphere, and we like it a lot. The only problem is that he is soon going to Medicaid, and they're not Medicaid approved yet. We chose it because we liked it a lot, and it was homey. The food and care are good, and overall, my brother-in-law is very happy there. They have people come in to entertain and an activities director who does bingo and trivia and all kinds of games for the residents. They have an exercise room, a music room, and a solarium.
