Memory Care Communities in Wilmington, DE

"My wife's aunt is going to move to the assisted living facility of Merion Gardens Assisted Living in Carneys Point. We visited the place, and it was clean, and the people were friendly. The staff was also friendly. I don't know exactly all that they offer, but they have an activities director, so I know there are activities if my wife's aunt decides she wants to participate. They have a library, a garden, and a courtyard."

"The staff here were very good and helpful. They had a lot of activities. The food was great. However, the room that my parents were staying now was bigger than the rooms here."

"I'll be moving into Paramount Senior Living at Newark at the end of the month. I chose them for their location and the cleanliness of the facility. No place is perfect, but it was clean, and the staff seemed somewhat courteous. I've seen places a lot worse. The staff seemed pretty knowledgeable. They pretty much have everything. They had activities, there was an outside area, and a barber did come in and take care of their hair. It wasn't an on-staff barber, but someone did come in. The facility is close to my kids. There's a big hospital not too far away. The rooms weren't large, but they were adequate. The outside area was well-groomed. They had some patios and places that you could go out to."

"We liked it, but it was too big. We liked that they had an awful lot to offer. They had a bar, a diner, a really beautiful dining room, and a store. It was very nice. They had amenities for everything. They had an activities room, they had a kitchen where you could bring people from the outside to cook, and they had a place for catering. They had a library and a game room."

"My mother is in Juniper Village at Newark. It's been very good. She has made friends. She's going down to meals three days a week. She is playing bingo. She's 93 and had pretty much been at home in front of her computer before that. Although she's much more limited, she's definitely much more social now and getting around, even though she's in a wheelchair. It's a one-bedroom with a very large bathroom with a wheelchair accessible shower, a fairly large living room, and a kitchenette, kind of like an efficiency kitchen. There's no oven, no stove, just a microwave and a full refrigerator. She's on the second floor, but there's an elevator. They have bus rides to the shopping. They have some form of music and games. Anything you can think of, they seem to come up with it. She does bingo, and they have a little movie theater there. She's been to about four movies already. They have a large deck off of an activities room that is shaded. In front of the building, they have a shaded seating area. They have a large foyer where you could sit, and it's all 20-foot glass windows. They have a restaurant, and the food is good. You can buy meal tickets there for $15. Many of my family members have eaten there with her. It's a restaurant style. It tastes good, and there are no hours, so if you're old and you want to sleep in until 11:00 and have breakfast at 12:00, it doesn't close. It's open 7:00 to 7:00. They have to get in before it closes, but there's not a set time for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can just go and order off the menu."

"My mother has already been with The Residence of Glen Riddle for over three months now. The facility is intimate and kind of homey. The place is not large. It's clean and quiet. Their interior furniture is kind of Victorian and I was impressed by it. Their rooms are really nice. My mom's room has a bed with a little kitchenette, a bathroom, a closet. The actual person who runs the place has been there for a number of years and that impressed me a lot. The staff are really conscientious and they are very good to the residents. They keep their clients pretty well active during the day. They have a nursing staff 24/7 and they also have a physical therapy rehab. The staff are keeping eye on the residents. Even in the middle of the night, they look in their rooms and make sure everything is okay. They have bingo and I think they also play cards. They have a television group. They do have live entertainment come in, maybe about three or four times a month. We were able to dine there and the food is pretty good too. It's fresh from what I can see. The cafeteria is well decorated and looks like a restaurant. "

"My visit at Sunrise of Westtown was pleasant. I like some of their rooms because they were very nice and spacious. People there were very nice and pleasant too. They have activities that residents can enjoy. I like everything about Sunrise. "

"My mother is in Sunrise of Granite Run. So far, I've been pretty happy. I was there when she came because the state had lifted the Covid restrictions that time, but now they're back to tightening them down again in Pennsylvania as far as people coming in. I've been there twice since then and just dropped stuff off for her. I was able to be there for a couple of hours with her the day she moved in. It was a nice place. They let me have a tour before I even decided to take her there. They had me come one day and kind of showed me how that when somebody first comes in, in these circumstances, they quarantine you for two weeks, but it wasn't a bad thing. She had a room with a big TV, bed, and a bathroom, and it was like a little suite, but she has been moved since then. She shares a suite now, but they were set up where each person gets a bedroom with an actual door if you want to close the door, and they have a joint living area where you have a sofa, a big TV, and a bathroom. They have people that will come in and help you get dressed or whatever if you need help. Because of Covid, you can't get in there. I didn't try the food, but the day that she came, it was around noontime, so the woman in charge of her moving in brought in a little menu. At the time, they weren't really eating in their dining room because of Covid. You had a choice of soup, appetizer and a hot or cold sandwich, and they brought a pudding for dessert. They passed weekly emails from the executive director to tell you what's going on there. For Christmas, because of the restrictions, you could drop something off because you won't be able to be there for Christmas. They have Christmas stockings, which they made with everybody's names on the table and they're going to put all kind of necessities and they're gonna hang them on their doors for Christmas morning. Everybody's gonna get a new face blanket. It seems like they're trying to keep the people happy because they're kind of restricted. I haven't had any problem with them compared to where she was before. Each time you call, the receptionist seems like the same person. She answers and she always asks, can I help you, or she makes sure you get to the right person. I called and this lady connected me right to the floor where my mom was. They have a doctor that comes in. Any phone call I've had with them, they will work with you. It was a nice facility. It looked like an old house that had been remodeled and made into a place. It had an enclosed sunroom all the way around and there was an open porch area where you could go outside. The lady at that time said they were supposed to be getting an in-house pet to kind of make the people feel homey. They had a nice big living room with big sofas and a whole wall of books, a TV, and a fireplace. She showed me a room and there were a couple of people there and there were activities going on, but with the Covid, I don't know how much the restrictions were and how many people could be together."

"We visited Chestnut Ridge. We liked the place and the rapport of the place very much. The staff was very nice, very informative, and very cordial. They had a number of things going on when we were there. They also had a Christmas party going on. The person that showed us the place was very knowledgeable. I asked a lot of questions, and I did get answers. They didn't hide anything. I checked them out, and what they told me was factual. "

"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."

"My mother has been residing at Rose Tree Place (Pathways Memory Care area) in Media, PA. for two years and I’m pleased with the service provided. The entire staff, including the Receptionists, Resident Care Associates, Medical Technicians, Sales Associates and Activities Coordinators, is friendly, caring and attentive to her needs. She also enjoys the meals served at Rose Tree Place. The menu is varied and the food is appetizing, nutritional and plentiful. Additionally, the in-house FOX Rehabilitation staff has provided my mother with excellent Occupational and Physical Therapy over the years. The friendly, upbeat staff really connects with her and gets the best out of her. The therapy sessions have resulted in her having more energy and being more alert. It is comforting to know that my mother is being taken good care of in a clean and safe environment at Rose Tree Place. "

"It was wonderful, but they didn't offer a home-for-life program. It's privately funded. Their apartments were adequate, and the tour went very well. We really like the community, it's just not a good fit for us. It was very pleasant, clean, and the people were nice. They did crafts, had a walking trail, kept people busy, and had bus rides. It was comfortable, very pleasant, and liked the whole thing."

"My father is at the rehab unit of Wellington. We think it's excellent and are very happy with it. The staff has a lot of professionalism, care, and concern. The rooms are very nice. They have entertainment and exercise. "

"We placed my uncle in a community. He is at Sunrise of Newtown Square. The staff is attentive. The room is clean. We're very happy with it. They have bingo and church. They have different things. Security and safety management are fine too. "
