Nursing Home Communities in Newark, DE

"From the very beginning to the last day of my mom being here was awesome. The staff Jade, Mackensie, and the nutrition staff were amazing. Due to my moms illness, she has stayed at other facilities, but I am thankful for Manor Care. Rooms and patients bathrooms were cleaned. Very caring doctors and socialworker staff communicated on everything that involved my mom. I would recommend a love one staying here. The only thing that needed improvement is the food served to residents. My mom wouldn’t eat the meals because food was not appealing, and she only ate the tuna everyday. They have a very caring attitude towards the residents . "

"My friend is at New Castle Health and Rehabilitation Center. The nurses are excellent there. They're so nice. They're excellent. She was in another one, and they couldn't compare to this one. When I first went there, it was kind of touch and go because my friend had been in other ones, and I thought, 'Here we go again.' However, it was very nice there. The people there are excellent. They take such good care of everyone. Usually, when you go into a place like this, a lot of times it'll smell like someone has a dirty diaper or something, but New Castle never has an odor in there. It's very clean. It is not modern as far as new things, but it is immaculate. The employees are excellent. They treat people like their own mother or father, that's how nice they are. They offer a lot of different activities. They give you a paper for the month telling you what's going on every day. They have bingo. You can get your hair done on Wednesday. They have manicures one day a week. It's so pleasant. The people who are working there make you feel like you're at home. They're very nice people. Food is delivered to their rooms. My friend eats it all, so I guess it's not too bad. However, they could give a little larger portion. They can get my friend a sandwich if she wants it. As for the upkeep, they keep the place very nice and clean, but it is an older building."

"About 2 years about my great aunt had a terrible fall and went to stay at Brandywine. Since she was like a grandmother to me growing up I was very concerned about her getting the best care. the second I walked in I knew I had nothing to worry about. Not only was the facility extremely clean and well taken care of, but the staff was incredibly friendly. The place itself was very cheery and had a nice vibe. All of the patients living there looked very happy and were so nice. The workers knew all of the patients names and really seemed to love taking care of and working with the patients. Never once did I ever feel like my aunt wasn't getting the attention she needed. Every time I went to visit her she was happy and very well taken care of. Also, I really liked that they let me bring her dog by to visit her. They also let her decorate her room and make it a lot more homey. Being surrounded by pictured of friends and family really made her feel much more comfortable. I really can't thank them enough for all of the care they gave to my great aunt. "

"Complete Care at Brackenville was smaller, which is good. Its appearance wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. I like the location because it's close to my family so that we can bring my mother closer. They have a few private rooms, which we were looking for my mom. They have double rooms with two beds, two closets, and two nightstands. It's sort of like a dorm room or a hospital room sort of situation. It wasn't stellar, but it wasn't dirty. The few staff members that I met were pleasant and nice. We have heard from other people that the care is good there."

"10 days of rehab after spinal surgery. The staff was great. PT and OT everyday got me back on my feet. The place was clean and well taken care of. The food some good and some I did not care for. Overall I would recommend to friends and family. No one wants to be in a rehab but if it is necessary I think you will like this place. Mary"

"I visited Cokesbury Village and I loved it. It’s a nice area and an upscale facility. The place is well taken care of. The clientele is all professional retirees. It’s one of the nicer ones in the area for sure. It’s comfortable but upscale, so it’s a lot more formal. I was pleased with the visit. "

"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. "

"I had a friend who was at Laurelwood Healthcare Center for 10 weeks. We weren't very happy with the staffing, the pushy business environment, and the lack of support in getting financial assistance. They were pushing for his wife to be there, and it wasn't even appropriate. So, my entire experience with them was negative. I was there almost daily. My friend's room was clean and sparse. Their food was average (I don't think it was any better or worse than anyplace else). The clinical staff seemed great, but the administrative staff was not helpful. They're the ones who were pushy and not really supportive of my friend's situation."

"Our Mom Mary was a patient at this facility for rehabilitation and we meant a few very pleasant workers. They seemed very busy but the young lady working the door that evening was very helpful. She provided much information that put our mind at ease and even escorted us to our destination. We wanted to thank her when we came back that week but found out it wasn’t her normal position she was actually a staffing coordinator named Ms Marquita. Thank you young lady for being kind and compassionate we appreciate all your help."

"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. "

"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."

"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. "

"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."

"Warm, friendly community with caring staff and attentive management. Upscale amenities that promote an independent lifestyle while providing higher level of care in a newly renovated health center. Interactive resident committees, socially enhanced while offering a assurance for future health care needs. Location perfect for travelling into PA and NJ. "
