Nursing Home Communities in Hockessin, DE

"I visited Country House. It has an independent living. It used to be assisted living, but they've added a great big addition to it and put cottages out front. I didn't get to see any of the rooms. However, the whole layout of the place was pretty nice because they had underground parking. As far as I know, it was really good on that. The amenities were not the same as the other place, though."

"Stonegates was absolutely outstanding, but very expensive. The apartments were great. They're laid out very well and they're oriented to the community they're trying to serve. The staff member was great. She knew what she was doing and she had a great facility. They have everything. They have cards and guest lectures. The food was wonderful and the dining area was set up like a restaurant. It's like a five-star resort."

"My mother is living in here; it is very nice. They are very caring, and they seemed to take very good care of her. It’s bright, cheery, and it’s very clean. They are very kind, caring, and there is always somebody close at hand to even just to stop and chat with her and try to boost her spirits, so we have been very happy with it. My mother and another woman are in one room, and the space is good. She loves the food there; it’s very good, and it’s almost like they are going to a restaurant. They have a menu for every meal, and I think they have a couple of choices. They always have a few things just in case; she can always get grilled cheese or soup or something. I think that’s one of the pluses; she really seems to enjoy the food. Every morning they do a session called keep it sharp; they get the residents in a room, read a newspaper, and they discuss different articles in the newspaper. They do karaoke and arts and crafts, and it seems pretty active there."

"We toured Millcroft Living. It was excellent. The staff was excellent. They were very spacious. They were very luxurious, but we couldn't afford them, so we moved on. They had a lot of activities for the elders. They showed us around. They had a little lounge and a little happy hour area. They had a communal area where everyone could be together. It was a beautiful place."

"We selected Parkview Nursing. My friend is there for long-term care. It is wonderful. The place is very clean and the staff is very friendly. They meet all my friend's needs. I have been very impressed so far. The food is fine. They have bingo, she gets rehabilitation three to five days a week (including weekends), they have a choir, and they have non-denominational church services. They do a good job."

"Hillside Center was very nice. I liked it very much. I would have taken my mom there. The facility was very clean, the rooms were very nice, spacious and adequate enough. They were very good with how they work with people in there. They have a lot of activities for them. They also had a nice library for reading and a nice library for movies. "

"My brother is in Kentmere. It's favorable. It's not fancy. They are very courteous. They seem to take care of the patients. If he needed anything, they are there to take care of him and they are prompt in providing it. It's older, it's like 100 years old I think. It was a lot better than a couple I'd looked at. Physical therapy is through an insurance company. They seem to be doing their job, and there are a lot of people there. They've got good coverage. I saw them this morning doing activities. It's an Alzheimer's area, so they were batting a ball around, they have small tubes and throwing them on pegs, and easy things like that. My brother's there for physical therapy, and he goes down to the PT room where they are trying to get him to go from a wheelchair onto the toilet, standing up, and things like that. So they do have the facilities for P.T. and occupational therapy. I'm satisfied with them."

"My wife is in Regency Healthcare & Rehab Center right now. It’s not very good. The food is not that good. It’s a good location because it’s close to my house. It’s somewhat clean. "

"We toured Gilpin Hall. It was a very good tour. My mother was very happy with visiting. She was very happy and expressed how she would like to be a resident there. The rooms were good. The facility was very well maintained and very clean, and everything was suitable to move my mother there as a resident. The staff was very good and knowledgeable, and took their time showing us around the facility, to the rooms, the dining area, and the game room. We didn't try the food, but the dining area was very clean and very well-kept."

"My mother will be moving into Kendal-Crosslands Communities. We just really liked it for a whole number of reasons. The range of services and the interactions we've had with the staff have all been extremely good. It seemed very warm and inviting and my mother was quite taken with their gardens. I like the quality of the staff and the convenience of it because it's very close to me and that was very important. I like the dining environment, and the staff just seemed very attentive. The upkeep seemed excellent. My mother enjoyed the food. One of the dining areas overlooks a patio and it's really beautiful. The gardens there were very nice, so the dining areas were very comfortable and scenic."

"Newark Manor is excellent and worked well with Alzheimer’s patients. They’re very caring to mom. It’s clean, and I like where it is; it's near my home and a university, and there are plenty of things to do. The Alzheimer’s Unit is on the third floor, so it’s very secure. "

"I visited someone at Manorcare at one time, and I thought her room was very small. The fact that she was with somebody who never put the lights out was quite distracting for somebody who is trying to recover from an illness. My friend was there for like three months with Pancreatitis, and I would say she felt good about it. There was no staff to greet me though. There was somebody behind the counter, and I asked where my friend was, but there was nobody other than that. There was no person wandering around looking for newcomers or anything of that sort. I think it is fine. There were people in the hall in wheelchairs. My friend had a trainer that was coming, she was going for exercises, and her doctor came to see her frequently. Another new facility which is just up the road will have independent living, assisted living, and memory care but no nursing. The people who run that have indicated that if you need nursing care, you should go to Manorcare. "
