I can’t say enough about [name removed]. She was very sweet and helpful. We loved the ambiance at Lorelton. Had the feel of fun and very welcoming. Not like a hospitality. The people were really pleasant. Everyone looked happy and peaceful which helped my husband feel at ease. Looking forward to him enjoying his respite stay.

A good place to live

The employees are so helpful. One example is this past January we had a big snowstorm. After the street plows went through my car was snowed in. The maintenance crew dug my car out. We have multiple luncheons during the year celebrating the major holidays. The food is excellent and we get to invite guests at no cost.

Homey environment with lots of activities

We really liked the Lorelton! They just didn't have the medical care Mom needed Mom was in Memory Care and the Lorelton did an outstanding job keeping everyone engaged and stimulated. Very little TV watching, lots of socializing and activities (music, visiting pets, baking, art, etc.). Mom was almost never in her room. The facility was warm and homey, not institutional or hospital-like. Mom ended up needing more medical care than the Lorelton could provide. They also do not accept Medicaid, so we would have had to move her once her funds ran out, and that would have been hard.

Review for Lorelton

It is going well so far. Sometimes it takes a long time for them to respond when mom hits her call button, and they don't notify me when she needs personal hygiene items. Otherwise going well. Food is good.

Wonderful place to live.

The food is good almost feel like I'm eating at home. They have so many different sizes of units. Many of them have full kitchens and washer/dryers. Good medical staffing and attentive aids. They will be replacing all the 1930's style windows beginning in August.

Friendly staff and lots of activities!

My mom was in memory care at the Lorelton, and I love that she was rarely in her room. She was almost always with the other residents, and it seemed like the activity director was constantly engaging them, either with group activities, or one on one. Also the facility décor was more homey than where she is now, with carpets and murals and a lovely common room that had a very large fireplace. Overall, the caregivers and even the housekeepers, food service and maintenance teams were friendly and compassionate.

The Lorelton is a great facility

The Lorelton is a great assisted living and memory care facility. I visited a long list of facilities and narrowed it down to two. The Lorelton was my first choice. The employees that actually provide the care are wonderful. They go above and beyond. It's not just a job for these people. They are committed to the care of my mom. Even the house keeping staff will stop and assist a resident if the need help. It's like one big family that took my mom in. I can believe mom has been here a year already, but like I said its like family.

Review for Lorelton

I give The Lorelton a 5 for each category. The only thing that could improve is the windows in my mom's room. They are old and need to be replaced, which I have been told is going to happen in the near future.

Would highly recommend.

I can't say enough about how lovely the staff have been in every occasion. My loved one feels that the Lorelton is her home and appreciates all the help available to her. When a lightbulb goes out or the battery in the thermostat fails, they get right on it. The social scene is what you want to make of it. Going from living alone, where days would pass without seeing a soul, to walking out her apartment and joining a group to chat while sitting on a comfy couch--it's made a big difference in her health, including her brain health, and her mood. The move here will be worth it!

Lorelton Experience

The building is old but kept up well. It has large windows with lots of light. One of the selling points for my Mom. But the windows are old and leaky. A contractor has measured them and we are told they are being replaced. Nice outdoor garden. The best aspect is the size of the rooms. There are many efficiencies. She wanted a one bedroom apartment with a large bath, laundry, and full kitchen. She got it. The staff is good and bad. They are understaffed at times, hard to find suitable staff. Most aides are very good. Some not so good. But overall I felt almost everyone was very caring and like one big family. My mom passed away last week and she was taken such good care of the last few weeks. One final item, almost all of the residents love it there.

A wonderful experience.

Our uncle has been living in “The Lore”, a unit for those with dementia. He loves the apartments that line the hallways. Makes him feel like it’s his place. There are activities available for him to participate in & the nurses there are very kind. He received good care after surgery during his recovery. On top of that, the Lorelton is reasonably priced compared to other places. We are very happy with his placement there.

Went to the site and couldn't even get information... no brochure, no pricing, no nothing. I kept trying to submit the form, but it wouldn't work. It didn't leave me with a good impression of their responsiveness. I will try someplace else.

The Right Choice

Mom entered the Lorelton with an injury from a fall and had a very difficult time adjusting. However, the care staff did an excellent job customizing a plan for her during her recuperation. And on-site physical therapy was a big plus. Mom's fellow residents are very warm, welcoming and uplifting. The staff are very pleasant, understanding and flexible. The place has a family atmosphere. They offer a variety of activities, many opportunities to socialize and host live entertainers every couple of weeks or so. As a result, Mom has recovered well and seems to have settled in. It was the right choice for us.

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.
