#1 in Newark, DE

Residents and their families say:

This community is highly praised for its skilled, friendly staff and clean, welcoming facilities, providing residents with a comfortable and caring environment. Numerous reviewers highlighted the staff's dedication to residents' welfare, mentioning how staff from various levels, including doctors, nurses, and aides, ensure all residents receive the attention and care they need. The community's ability to offer easy transitions through different levels of care as residents' needs change is especially appreciated. The inclusion of ample activities, both within and outside the community, contributes to a vibrant atmosphere that residents enjoy. Moreover, the provision of tasty meals and the presence of on-site medical professionals and rehab services add to the community's appeal.

Despite the overwhelming positivity, there are some areas for improvement noted by reviewers. Issues such as delayed responses to inquiries regarding billing and Medicare/Medicaid, as well as dissatisfaction with the food in some instances, were mentioned. Communication breakdowns, particularly regarding financial matters, were a concern for some families. Additionally, while many families found the community's pricing within their budget, others expressed concerns about the cost, especially when additional levels of care are needed. The contrast in room sizes between the independent and assisted living sections, along with some facilities appearing outdated or cramped, were also points of concern for a few. Nonetheless, the overarching sentiment is one of satisfaction with the caring environment and wide range of services offered in the community, making it a commendable choice for senior living.
