Independent Living Communities in Middletown, DE

"We toured Ingleside Retirement Apartments. I like how welcoming and friendly everyone was. It's like you went in there, and it felt like a home and not just a facility. It doesn't have any furniture in there. They do supply you with landline phones. So, in case anyone comes in with no phone, at least you have one. They have a laundry center. You can either do it, or they have services where people can do it for you. They offer a lot. They have a salon and a barber, and you get your nails done. They have a sports pub in the cafe, a theatre room, and an activity community room. They offer so much. It's amazing. They get three meals daily."

"Foulk Living has been caring for my parents like family! Their rooms are comfortable. The food is delicious and plentiful. But the best part about Foulk Living is the staff! My mother has dementia and has been at Foulk Living for over a year. Her nurses treat her with respect and dignity. She is dressed and clean. They interact with her to stimulate her brain. They love her in our absence. My father was brought to Foulk Living after rehab for a broken hip. Sadly, he was too weak to recover from his surgery. The staff at Foulk were so attentive to my father’s needs in his final days. Not only did they care for him, they cared for us as his family. We were encouraged to spend as much time with our father as we felt necessary. They made sure we ate and explained everything that was happening every step of the way. They even made sure that my mom was brought to my dad’s side so that they can have time together. They love my family and care for them physically as well as emotionally. Never did I expect the level of care and love we have experienced! Foulk Living and the staff are top notch. We could not have asked for a better partner in taking care of our parents during the difficulties of their lives!! Thank you Foulk Living for loving my parents and caring for us all!!!"

"The room are a good size. The staff was great!"

"We toured Harmony at Kent. It was very good, and they even let us go inside the apartment and see it, and it was nice. The staff who gave the tour was very nice. They showed us a lot of nice stuff. They had areas where you could be out with other people that lived there as well, doing things like games, and they also had a thing where you could watch certain TV shows, and they served food. Their dining area setup was nice and neat. The space and the lighting were great, and the upkeep was good."

"Ivy Gables Senior Living did not have an availability in memory care. They kind of had a hybrid program in between assisted living and memory care, but they felt my dad needed a little more care than what they provided in that hybrid situation. However, if we were able to put him there, it would have been wonderful. They were professional, friendly, and informative. The facility was roomy. There's lots of areas for the residents to be able to go and move around. The room was sufficiently sized and clean. They had structured activities. It was perfect."

"My sister is a resident of Friends Home in Kennett. I like that she's so happy there. Everybody's very nice. She enjoys music and they have a lot of nice music programs and they encourage the people there to participate in the choir, which she enjoys. She has just a room with a bathroom. It's much more affordable than some of these places. I don't know what she does all day long, but right now she's out for rehab and she can't wait to get back. They play games, they take them on bus trips to different places, they have people come in to entertain them, and the fellow there that's in charge of the music is a wonderful singer and a piano player. They have a gathering room in the basement, a parlor, and a library. I'm very pleased with them. Everybody I've met has been very nice. She seems pretty pleased with the food. It's a very old building, but they've done a lot. They're working on it to fix it up. They keep it clean. It's right in the middle of town, so when a parade goes by, they get to sit on the porch and see it. Just different activities and schools come over and visit. They seem to be always busy doing something. Value for money is very good."

"Springmill Community is an excellent community. We have a clubhouse, a swimming pool, Shuffleboard games, tennis, and Pickleball. It's very inexpensive to live here. The monthly fee is $150, which includes mowing, taking care of your lawns, and snow removal. We have activities like making dolls and giving them to the hospitals, a card room, a pool room, trips that you can take outside, and people that would come in for entertainment (we just had a quartet of singers recently). It's a very friendly community. We have people from New York, New Jersey, and even from Pennsylvania. On the street where I live, they're all super wonderful people. No one bothers anyone unless you want to be bothered. No one's at your door every morning having coffee. They'll come down on you if your house needs to be power washed or your curtains aren't all white on the outside. They're very strict, which I like, because it keeps the community beautiful. The only drawback is our clubhouse holds only 100 people and in this community, there are like 330 houses or somewhere in there."

"Marydale Retirement Village seemed very welcoming. From what I saw, they appear to help the people in there a lot. They even have a food bank in there. The staff was excellent, very welcoming, and very helpful. There is a person who has been working with me for the last three weeks. She is trying to get me in there. I haven't had a tour inside the rooms, but they look small from the outside. They have wi-fi. They have a washer and dryer in each unit, so that's a good thing."

"I will be moving into Ridgewood Manor. It's a modular home park for 55 plus, so I have my own place. I have a little yard. I have neighbors all about the same age. The modular home was in my price range, and I'm looking forward to it. I like the area. It's closer to my doctors and closer to the highway. The manager was great, very helpful, and nice. She gave me the information I requested and returned phone calls when I called. They have a basketball court, a park, and a few gazebos around the area so that you can have picnics with your family. It is very well kept. The yards are nice. They had very nice sidewalks. It's a quiet neighborhood, which is what I want."

"From my observation, I liked everything I saw in Victoria Park At North East. I didn't see anything that I wasn't pleased with. The apartments were spacious. They had everything that I would need. They were bright and very clean. The carpets were clean. For a single person living alone, it fits my needs. The staff were very nice. They have laundry facilities, mail facilities, an exercise room, and a library. They have a computer set-up and Wi-Fi service. I was pleased with the place. They have a new person in charge, and she was more than accommodating. She made an appointment with us. We sat, we talked, and we could ask questions. She was very accommodating. It was very clean with no foul odors."

"I toured The Summit. The apartment was spacious. It looked clean. The people looked content, like they were satisfied to be there. I saw the dining room. They had a nice upstairs porch that you could sit on."

"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. "
