Recent reviews of Independent Living in New Castle County, DE
Luther Towers in Wilmington, DE
4.5

For how they try to accommodate the residents, they really go above and beyond. The only thing that is difficult is that my mom can't see that well and the ovens are geared for handicapped people and it's digital and she can't read the numbers. Lot's of activities. They have things like bingo, but they also take them places weekly, like to the store, and the bank, and the doctors.

Brookdale Hockessin
4.7

We chose Brookdale Hockessin because of the convenient location of the facility for family, the food looked really good, and the staff members here are really great. They keep in great communication with us and let us know what is going on. My dad loves the food, they are chef prepared meals that are served. I would recommend to others looking.

Paramount Senior Living at Newark
4.0

Paramount was a good place. We had a very rocky start, but our loved one did come home better than he went in. The second night, nobody came to take him to dinner, so we had to go out and get him some dinner. Throughout his stay, we tried to get across to everyone not to ask if wants to do things but tell him it was time to go. He will say no every time but wanting to go. Like anyplace, the staff makes all the difference. Some good and some getting by.
