We would give a 5 on all of these. My parents love the community, the staff, and the other residents. The dining staff and chef are friendly and accommodating. The chef seems to hold a "ask and you shall receive" mentality to his menus and receives feedback well even if it's a bit critical (as some folks have lost their filter). The management staff is influx right now but the new people seem to be as friendly and helpful as the previous staff. So keeping our fingers crossed that they remain that way. My father had a slight medical issue recently and they were quick to step up and help my mom until I could get there. Hawthorne management has been doing maintenance to update some issues which has been nice to see. All in all it's been a good fit for my parents and I feel comfortable with their safety.... Read more

We went with The Woods at Holly Tree because the pricing fit our budget the best. We really like the fact that so much is included in the monthly rent. The cleaning service that is provided is very nice, they come in each week and clean the residents apartments. The apartment sizes are super spacious and exactly what we were looking for. I would absolutely recommend them to other families looking.

I think they do an excellent job, but it is a little expensive. They did give me a good deal in the beginning though. I have a studio apartment and it is plenty big enough for what I need, in fact I would not want it any bigger. I am handicapped and I can use my walker easily in the room. Every staff member is super caring, I was sick last week and I had people coming to check on me. The residents are very friendly as well. We even had a beer and pizza party a little while ago, it was fun. All in all, it is worth the money for what they provide, I would definitely recommend The Woods at Holly Tree without a doubt.

It was just something where I walked in and did not get the "vibe" I was looking for. I did talk with some of the residents and I just did not feel like it was the best fit for my loved one. The residents seemed like they may have needed more care than my loved one does.
We chose The Woods at Holly Tree because they had a good deal going on at the time. My mom has a very nice studio apartment, and she chose this one because it has an L shaped patio attached to it. I would recommend to others looking.

We chose The Woods because of the value for the money and it met their current needs better. The apartment sizes are adequate for their needs. My parents like the food, but it is calorie intensive, I think they could use some healthier options on the food especially more fruits and vegetables. My parents are able to get to their doctors appointments due to the transportation the facility provides and they do seem to be well looked after and they keep in contact. I would recommend to others looking.

This community is so wonderful and the people are so very kind. I looked at a few communities in Wilmington and it is probably one of the best senior living communities in Wilmington. Looks brand new, smells cleans, looks very clean and the residents actually look very happy to be here. I would give this community a 10 in comparison to other communities in Wilmington that didn't seem to compare to the luxury of this particular community. Impressed with my overall first look.

The Woods at Holly Tree is a very clean facility, the staff members are very nice to the residents. However the improvement we think they could make would have to be with their overall communication.

The Woods at Holly Tree is a newer facility, and the rooms are very nice. I didn't get to meet many people on our tour - just the marketing person. So I wasn't able to get much of a feel for the community. There was a mix-up regarding our appointment. I ended up having to wait 45 minutes, and when they finally came out, they said I was not scheduled for an appointment, even though they had emailed me about it the day before. So that was disappointing.
I really very much enjoy visiting with the hall mates, and the other tenants can be very friendly, i have grown pretty close to some of them. They could improve on the meal service, the food can be really greasy and there is just to many starches. However, it still is a good place.

According to our loved one, she thinks the meals at the community could use some improvements as well as organization. Sometimes the meals are not served at there designated times. We have had no issues when it comes to the cleanliness of the community, and they have really stayed on top of the covid pandemic. When it comes to the activities they had a Halloween party and a New Years Eve party which our loved one enjoyed.

We chose The Woods at Holly Tree because we felt that it was the most compatible for my mother. The room sizes here are fair to large for what you get. She really liked the food prior to covid when they were eating in the cafeteria, but since covid, it is being delivered so the quality has taken a hit. The best part about the community was the fellowship of other residents. I would recommend this facility.

We chose The Woods at Holly Tree because a good friend of ours gave us a very high recommendation. They knew several people who were there and had very good experiences. When we toured the facility it was very nice and inviting, my dad loved it the second he walked in the door. He is in a studio and he has plenty of room in there. The best part about the community so far has been the residents and how friendly they are. Also the staff members look after him. I would absolutely recommend.

FIVE STAR!!!! community wish I could rate it higher. Truly the best I have seen in senior living. When like myself this can be a hard to move a loved one they make it easy. The community is close to my dr which I like, great shopping all around mayfair, mall , grocery, pharmacy, library, and there is a YWCA right there at the community. I would highly recommend this community to other seniors 55 and over.

My firsthand experience with the woods of holly tree were very good. I like the concept where I can stay and not have to move. That appealed to me along with the structure and how well kept the community is. The first thing I noticed was that the halls were nice and wide and there was a huge dinning room that looked like a restaurant where I would eat. They had a exercise room, library, a pool table and chapel. There is an elevator which was nice to see with the community being 3 floors. I really liked the community and hope to move here when my home sells.

Senior Living truly at its finest. been here a few times for bands that play for a loved one here and really liked what I saw. This senior living community looks new and modern. It is open with wide hallways and a lot of light inside. The community kind of reminds me of a cruise ship with beautiful paintings along the hallway. It has a home like feel which ideally impressed me. The community also doesn't smell and can tell that they keep the areas very clean for the residents. The residents themselves seem very happy and content with their home. The apartments are all interior, one I saw had a patio that overlooked a pond and a path that I could walk around daily to get my steps in. The community also had a fitness area, pool table and even a chapel. I haven't seen a community quite like this in Wilmington. While I haven't sold my home just yet, this is the community of which I will decide to go to once it does sell. I couldn't ask for a better place to be... The staff seem to really care and they always seem cheerful, we could all use a little cheer in these times. Doing a great job with the residents staff of the woods of holly
