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."

"We have placed my dad here. He has been there for three weeks, and we are very pleased with it. They are very friendly and accommodating. Everything my dad needs, he asks for, and they are right there with it."

"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."

"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. It was in a nice secluded location. We met the sales and marketing representative and one of the nurses. We also met the administrator. They were all very pleasant and professional. They showed us a couple of different apartments, and the size was fabulous. Even the small rooms had a great size that would accommodate two people. They were laid out very well, and we thought it was wonderful."

"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. "

"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. "

"Arbour Square at West Chester was a fantastic facility. It's brand new. It's a community of its own. It has two restaurants in the facility, a theater, and everything you need. You don't have to leave the complex. It has a general store, a bank, a salon, a barber shop, exercise facilities, and doctors and nurses that will come in and out. I liked it because it has both independent and assisted living. They have transportation and they will get you where you have to go, like to doctors' appointments. Their food was excellent. The gentleman that built this complex had parents who were handicapped and confined to wheelchairs. When he built the facility he took into consideration the elderly and handicapped people. It's first class. The staff member was excellent and very professional. The grounds and the building were immaculate. It's very well taken care of. They have good chefs and you can get a variety of meals. If you want to see shows or movies outside they'll take you, but they have their own movie theater in the facility. They'll also take you to casinos, malls, or museums. They have Bingo and card nights as well. The activities were wonderful."

"St. Martha Villa was very nice. They have independent and assisted. My aunt was in there and liked the food. I knew she got very good care. One of the girls that I had for therapy when I was in another facility works there, and they have a good therapy team. The rooms were very nice. The assisted living had more studio apartments. It's immaculate and very clean. I liked the convenience of where it is and the help was very nice. I didn't run in to anybody that was nasty or anything like that."

"I toured Daylesford Crossing. It's a wonderful place, with wonderful people and very modern-looking rooms. The staff knows every resident by name, so everybody is on a first-name basis. They took me to their physical therapy room and event room. They were doing some events when I got there. They were having a magic show. They didn't have the level of care that my parents needed, but it was one of the top ones that we liked. They had a very small library. They had someone come once a week to do hair and nails. The gym was the physical therapy room, so it was a smaller room. It was more like an apartment building."

"I can't think of anything that I don't like about Meadowcrest at Middletown. My father has been there for about a week now, and so far, everything has been positive. I like that even though it's an independent care facility, there is some light monitoring to ensure the safety of my father while he's there and I think that's nice. I also like that they have plenty of amenities that he has access to, such as a game room, a gym, and a media room. They have a lot of facilities that I think he'll be able to take advantage of. I also like their restaurants. So far, the food from what I could tell seems to be pretty good and the service seems to be excellent. It's a very clean place. So far, the service and the staffing are pretty good. For activities, they had good Veterans Day activities this past weekend."

"I toured Echo Lake. The staff was attentive and willing to talk about my friend's needs and discuss some changes that we recommended. It was a lovely place. It was very open and welcoming. They did provide the chopped diet that she needed. It's a beautiful facility. They have exercise plans and physical therapy."

"My mom is in here since September and it's been great! For my mom's level, it is a perfect place for her. It is not overwhelming not like those huge complexes. The staff is very caring and nice. They know everybody by name and they are very attentive. Her apartment is very nice. She has a living area, a bedroom, a nice size bathroom and she's very comfortable there. It is really cozy and she really likes it a lot. She said the food is good. There is a lot for her to do. She likes doing crafts like making jewelry, she does painting, she plays bingo, bowling and participates in music. Singers like Frank Sinatra come in. She is socializing more and they do a good job in trying to involve the family too. They have brunches for the family to come out and visit. My mom has also been in a couple of dinners where they take them out to dinners. Overall, we are very happy with them."

"I got to see Eagleview Landing. They were open during my visit, but it was during the lockdown so I didn't get to see everything. The staff was excellent, the activities were all closed because of COVID, but it all sounded great."
