We only there for 5 days so the others I couldn't answer. Nurses- very hard to get ahold of when needed. Only 1 nurse on the overnight staff for the entire residence which made her medication always late and past due Good food, lots of options. Very clean throughout. Rooms very comfortable size

We recently toured Sunrise of Wilmington and were immediately impressed with the welcoming atmosphere and hospitality from the residents and staff there. People were very welcoming and looked engaged and enthusiastic about future possible residents. The restaurant impressed us and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. [name removed] was so helpful and understanding of our concerns and questions. He represented this adult living community with professionalism and respect for those that live and work there, as well as encouraging newcomers.

Sunrise of Wilmington

Overall front desk 10/10. Most nurses 8/10. Aides 6/10, some were not very nice to mom and made us aware they did not like to take care of her as she was too "needy". Then others went out of their way for her. Depends on caregiver. Some aides would not take mom to activities. Staff did not always call back. so many choices and variety of food. Too expensive to eat with family member. $[fee removed] for dinner: soup, slice of ham, vegs and small piece of cake with a beverage. Good variety of activities If FiFi was involved it was 10/10! She was great. Driver, can't remember her name, was wonderful with the residents. She helped with activities also.

The staff was fantastic - before, during, and after. The activities were great (an Elvis impersonator!!). The food was good. The facility was clean, but there was a bit of a smell.

Review for Sunrise of Wilmington

It is a very nice place. It's small, 88 beds I believe, so most people know each other. The rooms are spacious and quite nice. The dining room is lovely, the food mediocre. There are plenty of activities to participate in during the day. Unfortunately now they are short staffed so certain things like trash collection, laundry, weekly showers are a bit behind.

Communication Lacking

My experience with many of the staff was frustrating. My hubby [name removed],was in the Memory section; 2 wk. respite care. Witness to mealtime. A menu was displayed on the table. However, [name removed] cannot understand the written word. Server verbalized the short list of items. Again, it was too much for him to comprehend. I mentioned to the server that he needs to see the items to make a decision (of the two items). The next time I was there at mealtime, the server did just that. Thank you. One late afternoon, I was approached by staff member who said that the battery was dead on [name removed] electric razor. "Why wasn't I informed?" I asked him. I could have easy brought the charger with my visit. No response. 'Activities' were sometimes a joke. Staff reading/questioning from whatever as most of residents slept or seemed bored. At times there was no nurse in sight to field answers to my questions. I reiterate: frustrating. Arriving home with [name removed], I noticed a bottle of pills was missing. Reached my limit!

Expensive for care level . The food is good but the service isn’t. I am very disappointed with the care level. My mother is often ignored unless we are visiting the facility. Nurses are hit or miss. Some good, some not.

Review for Sunrise of Wilmington

They are expensive for no reason. They charge you for everything except for air! You are definitely not getting your moneys worth. Memory care staff are glorified sitters. No real interaction with residents unless they have to. Sunrise locations look nice on the outside but are antiquated and outdated. The music, activities, and events are routinely rotated, boring and outdated.

A bumpy journey with tons of help to smooth things out

The staff has been wonderful and helpful with my parents. They truly care and make it a family. [name removed] at the front desk has been going above and beyond with my parents making sure they feel welcome! She also has helped with appointments and serving in the dining room when needed and I am sure a million other things that nobody notices. [name removed] has also helped us with the learning curve of having a new environment.

A nice place to live. Top on my list of all facilities A Place for Mom provided.

Of all the places visited this place was best as not too big and not too small. It is a nice community where residents and staff all feel like family. Able to age further with care here compared to other places I looked at. They have assistance equipment and residents can have hospice care. Care good with a few hiccups why only 4 out of 5 stars. Great food and dining staff. Monthly resident feedback meeting. Variety of room sizes and configurations. I was able to get Floorplan of my room and layout my furniture to know what I could bring. The pricing structure is not as granular as I would like, but not as nickle and dime as other places charge. Nice to have weekly laundry service. Housekeeping and linnen laundry once a week. Free 15mbps Wi-Fi. I opted for my own 1Gbps network through the cable company.

A warm, home-like environment with caring staff

Overall, we have had a positive experience at Sunrise of Wilmington. The leadership team really cares about their residents and the quality of care that they provide. They take concerns seriously, and investigate them thoroughly. They are also willing to spend the necessary time to speak with the resident/family and decide the best plan of action for care. A minor place for improvement would be the responsiveness of the care staff. Sometimes the wait times get a little bit long. Also, Mom has some cognitive impairment, and she may not fully be aware of her options for dinner or activities. Some of the staff will help clarify that for her, which is fantastic. Others perhaps, not so much. As for the food, I have heard complaints from other residents as well as my Mom. I have tasted the food myself and it is amazingly bland. In some cases, they make food far too spicy, and yet it is still tasteless. Many times the rice will be crunchy and hard. This is the one place where I think things could really be improved. The quality of the ingredients seem reasonable, so I think it is just in the preparation. Overall, I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

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.
