Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in Lewes, DE
Peregrine Salisbury
4.6

We are very pleased with our choice. The facility has a home like feel. All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. My mom loves the food and raves about it. They encourage families to come and eat with them. I would recommend Peregrine Salisbury to others.

Autumn Lake Healthcare at Oceanview
5.0

My mom has been in Autumn Lake at Ocean View since November. I have seen such an improvement in her behaver from when she was living with me. She always tell me how nice the staff is and how good the food is. I can always see how she's doing with a phone call or a visit. Nurses and staff are very friendly . Administrator director of admissions was so helpful in getting my mom admitted quickly. I would recommend this facility for long term or rehabilitation in a heartbeat.

Brandywine Senior Living at Fenwick Island in Selbyville, DE
5.0

My mother has been a resident at Brandywine Fenwick for 2.5 years. During this period she has received outstanding personal and professional care. AL living is a significant transition and hard for all involved, and nothing is ever perfect. However the leadership and caregivers at Brandywine work together as a well coordinated team, and provide exceptional support to both the resident and the family. The facility is exceptionally clean and well maintained, the quality of nursing support is outstanding, and the day-to-day operations are both creative and engaging. I am particularly grateful for the individual care managers and nursing staff who work hard to coordinate and support my mothers unique needs. Brandywine’s ability to transition her care Internally as her clinical needs have changed, is a particular benefit of this facility and is reflective of the strong clinical leadership in its nursing director. I highly recommend that anyone shopping for a progressive, supportive and caring assisted living environment give Brandywine Fenwick Island a look. I feel confident that my Mom is in good hands.
