Best of the Best!

We couldn’t be more happy with Harbor Chase and the care they give all their residents. It’s definitely one of the top care facilities around. The staff, activities, food, medical care and overall management is definitely above average. The memory care staff is exceptional and if Harbor Chase isn’t on your list of tours, it should be. You won’t be disappointed!

Not for someone who already has limited capabilities

I am exceedingly disappointed with the MEDICAL quality of care which may be the most important item. The medical attention has been lacking and slow with terrible communications to family member. But also delayed medical treatment. And we are using the providers that Harbor Chase recommends and has on site. In summary, this is the wrong place for my Mom, and I regret placing her there. The transition from home to Harbor Chase was difficult, disappointing, and frustrating. Harbor Chase is probably a nice place for someone who needs an independent living place and then slowly progressing to assisted living. It is not a good place for someone who is well into the need for assisted living but has to get used to new and strange living conditions. I wish we could undo our decision.

Not so good

They charged $[fee removed] per month, had only a few activities and provided few & far between PT/OT. Meals were ordered from a menu but a 45 minute wait for service was not unusual.

Review for HarborChase of Wilmington

I'd say that while we expected a challenging transition from independent city life to assisted living, my uncle has been very happy there and that he's made a real home for himself there. We picked this community because it was a combination of the services they offered and the respect he was shown when we went to visit. Too many other places delivered the entire presentation to me, but at Harbor Chase, he was the focus.

My uncle seems comfortable at the HarborChase of Wilmington community. He really seems to be thriving and based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families who are looking for a place for their loved ones

Best Senior Living Community in the area!

HarborChase is the newest, most hospitality driven community in the area. Outstanding food, staff and social activities are top notch. I highly recommend this community to anyone looking into senior living for themselves or a loved one.

It's my loved ones second facility. The transition has been terrific. A much better experience than the first one. They offer a variety of activities for the residents. They do a great job of keeping them engaged during the games.

This community has no clue how to take care of the elderly. We had a virtual tour and during the tour I saw elderly people without masks, with staff members without masks. No wonder this community had some many people ill and go out to the hospitals. $8,000 for an apartment and level of care, plus a medications fee, plus one month rent upfront community fee sounds ridiculous. Mom is now at a different assisted living in Hockessin, more reasonable and better care.

Beautiful community, caution peel back the layers

Beautiful community when walking in the front door, newer building (2 years old), but my parent has been their over a year. In that year, upper management has changed over three times, the nursing care has gone down hill quickly. Every time a new manager comes in promising to us (the families) that it will improve. Are they giving us a discount on the higher than average cost for our parents care (it’s subpar), Nope. Continue to charge us $7700 a month (this doesn’t include 3 meals a day). 24 hour nursing care, never happens as advertised, maybe 12-16 hours, never 3 days in a row (always excuses “the hospitals are taken all of the LPN’s). We don’t want excuses, we want what we are paying for at HarborChase of Wilmington. Of course with Covid19, we can’t get into the building to see our parent. When we drop stuff off at the doors for our parent, we see a lot of outside folks going into the building without even a temperature check or wearing masks. Save your money and your frustration with this senior living community. There are plenty of other options in the area.

Could not off chosen a better place!

The cleanliness of this community is absolutely excellent, the staff members all care and take a personal interest in our loved one. It is an expensive community, but they do their absolute best even during the time. They still go out of their way to bring in entertainment for the residents while still maintaining social distancing. The care services are extremely good however there have been a few occasions where small things need checking up on. They do offer good activities, our loved just doesn't always participate in them. They vary throughout the week. Harbor Chase would have special events for holidays where families could come in and have a great dining experience or festive parties, and now they are still figuring out ways like a drive through parade where they bring the residents out in the court yard to where they can see and wave to their families who are driving around.

NOT A PLACE FOR YOUR LOVED ONES

This community was great when Mom first moved into the community last year. But with the lack of communication from the management team at Harbor Chase with the COVID19 positive cases and the constant misinformation about what they are doing to protect the current elderly who don't have COVID19 is disgraceful. This community is breathtaking when you first walk into this community main entrance, and unfortunately this lack of care the elderly are taking there last breathes here as well. This community lacks proper cleaning, the staff is seen doing a lazy job of cleaning the simple things like the rails. My Mom only gets 2 meals a day, not the 3 that she is suppose to get, she pays over $8K a month, for this community. If you are thinking about moving your loved one here, DON'T. There is nothing going on here that your parents, uncles, aunts, siblings wouldn't have at their own homes (expect NO COVID19), or choose a community that doesn't have any cases, easily find them in the News Journal, they have been publishing the communities with positive cases.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Delaware’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Delaware’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
