Brookdale Wilmington

Brookdale Wilmington offers a family atmosphere in a smaller facility. There are a variety of activities to keep residents not only engaged but also oriented to time and place, which is important in memory care. In addition, they have created a support group for family members that meets once a month.

My mother is at Brookdale Wilmington, with my sister living close by, but I am 8 hours away. In addition to providing excellent care for mom, a variety of stimulating activities, and a wonderful loving atmosphere, they are great at keeping us informed. Thom, the activities director, does a fantastic job of making me always feel welcomed, even though I can only get there a couple of times a year. It is wonderful to see the photos they post regularly on Facebook and know that mom is participating in the activities and enjoying her time with friends. Thom also e-mails regularly about activities for family members, which makes me feel a part of things, even though I am far away and can't usually attend. Having such great communication with Brookdale (along with a sister who is always there for mom) gives me so much peace of mind!

My wife and I toured this place recently. To our surprise it was dark and dirty. The rooms are small with bare nessities. We were lied to about the price over the phone by the sales director. After the tour we were informed of the actual prices that were way above what we were told. It's clearly about the money and not the patient. If we could give zero stars we would.
