Our Experience

My loved one is a resident at Delaware Highlands. The paperwork process is nearly impossible, everything else was great and easy. The staff seems to be great.

Critical

Went to tour facility for my mother. Upon entry it is congested with residents just sitting by the doorway. The ceilings had signs of leaking. The center itself was ok. Was very cluttered and unorganized in the community kitchen and dining rooms on each floor. Just an abundance of chairs and random things just pushed back into a wall. There was no thought in making it look halfway decent. The apartment itself was very nice. You have to pay 325.00 per month for meals rather you eat once a day or not at all. The barb…

Home Away From Home

Overall I was very impressed with the everything, except they didn't have any activities at all when my dad was there. They definitely need an activities director to have things like...bingo, card games they like to play, maybe a movie night, arts and crafts. There are a ton of activities the residents would like to take part in. They could have a Casino day and use Monopoly money. Especially need to have Holiday themed get togethers.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mom has been in Delaware Highlands Assisted Living for a couple of months now. She really enjoys having her own one-bedroom apartment. She has a wheelchair, and it is suited for her. The room is large, and she has her own walk-in closet. The bathroom is large, too. Appliances are included. They provide a refrigerator, a microwave, and a TV. The staff are very welcoming. So far, they have been really great to her. She really likes the food. She just said it's great. They provide games and stuff. It is worth …

I visited this facility

We chose Delaware Highlands for my mom. We still have to get some paperworks sorted out. It seemed to be fairly good. They offer three meals a day, weekly cleaning service, once the pandemic is over they'll offer all the activities as well, and also the biggest point was, the rent is controlled by mom's monthly income. They're very thorough.
