I liked The Lorelton. It was a very nice community but we're not going to be able to afford that. The person who took us around was very nice, informative, and we appreciated that she took a lot of time with us. The rooms were nice and it seemed like we could personalize it if we wanted to, which I liked. It also seemed like there was enough space. I liked the dining room setup, which was cheerful and nice.

The Lorelton was a nice, open facility but we were in need of a memory care unit which was not in place yet. The rooms that were being put together for the memory care unit and the assisted living were very reasonable. You had sun in the morning and in the evening on whichever side of the building you were on, plus basic amenities. It looked like they were in the process of upgrading and are a project under construction.

The Lorelton is great. They have lovely rooms of different sizes wherein people need to bring their furniture. It is an old building, but they keep it lovely. They have things going on every day. They sang Christmas carols and have Bingo and all kinds of things. My mother is not a bingo person but she does go to the musical things, and they have children who come in and sing. The food is very good. They have their own nursing staff, which is very good, and they offer therapy for my mother.

The Lorelton was very nice, but it wasn't for us. The staff treated us very nicely, and they were very friendly and accommodating. It only had apartments, and it was not what I was interested in. The place was clean and modern, and it didn't have a nursing home smell at all. The parking was not very good because it was a street parking.

The Lorelton was beautifully decorated with really friendly and welcoming staff. They had a beautiful dining room. It's an old historic school in the City of Wilmington that was converted into rooms and apartments. I toured with one of the sales managers who was very friendly. It was a large, lovely facility with bright hallways, well lit with big bright beautiful windows in all of the apartments. They had lots of activities like gardening outside, sponsored movies, clubs and groups, and trips outside the facility. They also had a craft room. Regular groups go together based on interests and hobbies that were expressed by the residents, and clubs were formed around the collective interest of the community, not just a social worker or an activities director. The apartments were just so bright with high ceilings and big, beautiful windows.

Lorelton was the one that I liked the best, but it was very expensive. The rooms were very large. I had a meal there of prime rib, and it was excellent. They seemed to have a lot of activities going on. There was a lot of interaction and games for the residents. I was impressed with the size of it, the courtesy of the staff, and the fact that people seemed happy there.

I love the the Lorelton. It has been my home for over 20 years. I am now 94 years old and I expect to spend the rest of my life here. It’s a small facility. The staff and the residents can be friends. We are a community.

The Lorelton is a nice facility, and my father seems well adjusted. The staff is very helpful, and they have nurses. They have very nice and clean apartments. He has a one-bedroom apartment. The dining room is the one thing we really like, which looks like a restaurant. They have a lot of different things everyday -- trips to the casino, to the grocery store, to the restaurant -- and they have walks.

About The Lorelton
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.
What Makes Us Special
We’ve got privacy when you want to be alone, and people nearby when you want to share experiences. If you’re looking for a dedicated caring home like community with friendly staff and residents then you’ve come to the right place!
