Memory Care Communities in Wilmington, DE

"My mother-in-law is in Merion Gardens, and we are very happy. Whenever we are there, the staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms are very nice. The one that she is in right now is very nice and very spacious. I know they have things available to do. She likes that the library is right across the hall from her room. She likes to read, so she likes the access that she has to the books there. I have not eaten there, but my mother-in-law has not complained about the food. The dining room is quite clean and has a nice appearance. "

"We toured Paramount Senior Living at Newark and that was a very nice facility. The staff was wonderful. They were very helpful, very professional, and very friendly. They went out of their way to show us around and all of that. They were beautiful facilities and well-maintained."

"The tour at Merrill Gardens at Glen Mills was excellent. It was very beautiful. The staff was gracious. They made you feel welcome. The person who did the tour was wonderful and very informative. They were very helpful, very pleasant, and very accommodating. What I've seen of the food, and what was I told about the chef and all, if I chose that place, I would be very happy."

"I toured Juniper Village at Newark. 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."

"We toured Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle. The residents seemed happy because I talked to some of them. The staff has longevity, which means they like their job and very friendly. I like their movie room. I like the schedule of activities. My only concern with that place is that there's a distance between, depending on where my mother would get a room, it would be too far to get to the cafeteria, but I'm sure she'll be fine. Their hallways are long. She sometimes has a lot of pain. My only worry would be making sure she got down to the cafeteria because it's like a walk and then an elevator ride, but the cafeteria is lovely, even with the outdoor seating. The staff was great. The facility was good. There just seemed to be a slight odor, but I'm going to guess with diapers and incontinence, and stuff that would happen at any facility, but I felt it was pretty clean."

"We are waiting to hear back from Sunrise of Westtown. You can be as independent as you like, but you can also have full care. For example, they can oversee medications, dressing, showering, and changing for incontinence. They do just about everything. They have nurses on-staff. You don't have to take all those services, but they offer it. It was a beautiful facility. It was arranged and designed very well. Each floor has a central location, and they call that a hub. Then the hallways to the rooms kind of branch off of that hub, and they call them spokes. It was very well designed, and it was absolutely beautiful. It was very clean with fresh paint and decorated nice. I couldn't say enough about it. It was just beautiful."

"I toured Sunrise of Granite Run, and everybody there was nice. I liked that they had bigger rooms and a lot of options. They had two bedrooms, a single bedroom that was a little bit bigger and a single one that was a little smaller. They had a little dining room. It was more like an apartment, and everything I saw was nice. As for the money, it's much cheaper than other facilities. They had a little bingo game there, and they kept the people entertained, which was nice."

"My husband has been at Merrill Gardens at West Chester for a month now. The staff there is very competent and very much involved with my husband. They know him by name. He's not just a person there, they care for him. Anything we have asked of them, they have come through. The concierge people at the front desk are excellent. They are always in a good mood and very customer service oriented. Everybody is accessible from the manager to the head nurse, and they're always open to your visit. They have a diner where the residents can get their breakfast and lunch, and it's not just a stale type of dining room. They have a movie theater. Because they are at the end of the Brandywine Airport, they have what they call a control tower where you can go and see the planes land and take off, and they're encouraging the pilots to say hi to the residents that are there. And that is a big selling point. It is decorated with airplanes and stuff like that. They also have a lounge where 2 days a week you can have drinks, you can get together with friends, and the family can come in. It's completely open and the residents enjoy that. They have a little store that has the best presentation I have ever seen. They also have a place for you if you want to bring your family and have a private dinner with them. The surroundings of the building are kept very nice."

"I am a resident of Bellingham at West Chester. It's a very nice community, and very well set up. I love the way they have their meal plan set up there. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all available. For dinner, it's a white tablecloth restaurant that you go into. You can get a five-course meal at dinner if you choose or you can take and get a pizza or wings if you would like to. Compared to other communities in this area, it offers a very good value. It was completely redone for me before I moved in. The kitchen is small, but the kitchen has all new appliances in it. The luxury vinyl tile was put in the kitchen and living room, bathrooms, and a new very low-cut pile carpet was put in the bedroom. The entire apartment was painted. The apartment does have a balcony. I am at wheelchair level, and I can take and access the balcony with no problem with my wheelchair. The bathroom is not an issue. It was well designed with ADA standards which is very well incorporated into the bathroom. The people there have been very helpful. The sales manager has been tremendously helpful as far as getting me in and because of my situation, I haven't had any way to get much of my stuff moved, and they were able to take and provide me with the furniture and that sort of thing that I can take until my stuff gets there."

"I like the size of the apartments at Wellington at Hershey's Mill, both the one-bedroom apartment and the studio. They were spacious compared to the others. It looked pleasant. The woman that did the tour was excellent and very knowledgeable. I liked the restaurants and the activities they have for the residents. I also liked the proximity of the nurses to the areas that were in charge. They have a gym, a gathering area, and recreations."

"My mom was a resident at sunrise. She had her ups and downs there. The room was ok. Part of the bathroom mirror was missing and wasn’t replaced. She complained about the food, but found things she liked on the menu. Alex the activity director sometimes brought lunch in for the residents. Alex put a lot of life into the facility. My mom had a great experience with two care takers, Justin and Latoya. They were both exceptional. All in all sunrise was a nice place to live."

"I went to St. Martha Villa. Everything was good. They had single and double rooms. You can bring your own television. There wasn't much where you could get an oven or anything like that, so it was very suitable for elderly people. The staff who gave the tour was very pleasant. They would even take the patients out to markets and stuff. They have a shuttle service where they can go to Giant Market or to other convenience stores."

"I toured Sunrise of Paoli. I've met with Lee, the director of the facility. I was greeted when I first came in. There was a big sign welcoming me. The front desk receptionist was very warm and welcoming. Lee walked me through every possible scenario: the different rooms, the different options, and how the building is laid out. She then walked me through the dining hall and explained the menu and how the daily choices are made. They invited me to play bingo with them, which was fun, and to have a snack. I met the cleaning staff, nursing staff, and other admins. They were all very, very helpful and informative. We took a tour of the different wings of the building to show me different styles of rooms and explain a little bit about each one."
