Brookdale Dover
5.0

Mom enjoys her “stay” at Brookdale and tells me how nice everyone is . She enjoys putting puzzles together with her friend and playing bingo. Whenever I am there for mealtime the food always looks and smells great.

They have to work out some growing pains in the business still. What is said that will get done and what gets done, doesn't always happen. They don't always think of the residents versus the comfort of the workers, for example: it's so cold there, they've got it down to 72. They are a company and they are there to make money; they're not in great favor, but this is my one and only experience with a retirement home.

Millcroft Living in Newark, DE
4.5

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.
