5 stars for all! We know other people who had been here and had a good experience which was the main reason we chose this facility. Everyone was compassionate and responded to her needs

Harmony at Kent in Dover, DE
4.3

Mom is in Independent Care & very happy with the activities. She is definitely more sociable being there. Her only complaint is the food & food service for dinner. But that could be because they all go down to the dining room at the same time & wonder why they have to wait. All of the staff are friendly, pleasant & attentive. I would recommend Harmony at Kent. We only have experience with the Independent Living but would feel comfortable transferring Mom to Assisted Living when the time comes. Mom has made so many friends & loves the activities.

The Lodge at Truitt Homestead in Rehoboth Beach, DE
5.0

Truitt Homestead is only a few years old and is bright and cheery. The staff is so welcoming and attentive. One example is when Mom needed to go for an X-ray on a Saturday. One of the senior staff came in to take her, wait for her and take her home. Lastly, ther residents are so friendly and fun. Mom really enjoys her time there.
