Thank you so much for the loving care, support, and friendship that you showed my parents, Charles and Mary Young over the four years they were in assisted living. You showed such dedication to their well being and making them feel at 'home'.

I just wanted to write and express the thanks of our family for your care of my mother, Cecilia Poleck... I especially wanted to thank you for your kindness and generosity in letting mom stay in a private room these past two years. I have recommended...

Review for Encore at Parkside

Our experience has been completely positive. My dad is happy living there and has nothing but positive things to say. All the staff members I have met have been helpful and friendly. My dad enjoys the meals. The common areas seem clean and the weekly cleaning of his apartment is always done well. His apartment (a studio) is relatively small, but more than adequate for his needs. All in all, it is a great fit for my dad. He is happy living there and my brothers and I are happy he is there.

Mom is happy

My mom has transitioned very well into the community. She made an effort to introduce herself to everyone—from the administration and reception staff to housekeeping, maintenance, and the dining team—and has built wonderful relationships with them. Everyone has been welcoming and friendly, which has made her feel right at home. She is very happy with her apartment. She loves the balcony, the spacious bedroom, the perfect kitchenette where she can cook if she wants to, the comfortable living room, and the excellent closet space. My mom is very active and mobile, so she hasn't participated in many of the community activities yet, but she appreciates that they're well advertised and easy to find whenever she's ready to join in. The dining room is beautiful, and the staff is always warm and attentive, making sure she has everything she needs. Overall, we've been very pleased with her experience and are grateful for the caring, welcoming environment.

Millcroft Living Review

One complaint I have is that the admissions director had told us that they would be checking in with my mother-in-law weekly to see how she is doing and to see if she needed another level of care. I don't believe that's ever happened. All in all we've been very happy with our Choice and I'm glad she's in a safe comfortable place. Thank you.

Very poor management

This is not a place for someone who cannot help them self. When I would go in there at 11 or 12 in the afternoon? My mother would have no drink. Whatsoever, she would get her needs met when I got there. She would ring the bell for help. No one would answer so they decided to disconnect her bell is that legal? If you called the doctor or the social services, forget it. You're not getting a call back. No matter how many times you try , please don't put your loved one in there.

Horrible

If you love or care at all for your elderly family members, do not send them here. The place is atrocious & people who own it are ignorant & don’t care about anything but themselves & making money. The mold is horrible & they only mask the problems.

Quality care

The assisted living staff are excellent. Caring, attentive, patient, and friendly. Parking can be a pain is the only really negative thing I would say. The room sizes are good, my mom is happy with it. The last question is not a knock on Millcroft, its just the absurd costs of elderly care make the idea of "value for the money" an impossible concept.

Excellent Care!

After being released from the hospital, our mom was taken to Millcroft for much needed rehab therapy. The care she received while at Millcroft was phenomenal to say the least!! Everyone my sisters and I came in contact with were genuinely caring and extremely nice individuals! [name removed], who helped with her enrollment and care, [name removed] her OT and PT therapist and [name removed] her Nurses Aid were all so very kind and professional! My mother felt safe and well cared for while staying at Millcroft! A big shout out to [name removed] for getting my mother back on her feet easing our concerns about mom's ability to return home safely. [name removed] knowledge, professionalism and genuine care for mom, made it both fun and extremely beneficial for my mother's overall health and wellbeing. [name removed] was also very kind to mom and provided everything from personal care to dialing my phone number for mom when she got a little confused! I would HIGHLY recommend Millcroft to anyone seeking short/long term care or rehab!!

We toured Millcroft Living during our search for Assisted Living for our loved one. This facility looked okay. However, the facility was a bit dated. The staff and friendliness seemed good. The facility just wasn't what we were looking for, so we continued forward with our search.

Be Aware

We picked this community because of the location. They could improve on the heating system. We had to always request for them to do things, as it relates to maintenance. Overall, the place needs to be updated, for maintenace and safety reasons.

Millcroft Living Assessment

Overall, the cleanliness was good. There was a distance to the kitchen, and often they brought my food. The food was okay. It was sometimes the wrong food, although I got three meals per day. If they made changes, it would be a better facility. Some of the residents seemed to like the community. The heating system could also be improved.

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:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Delaware regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Delaware regulations for Assisted Living.
