Staff is lovely and accommodating

It's been great. My aunt is not wanting to participate or go to DR for any meals but I have no real complaints. If she would cooperate they would get her out of bed for meals. Staff is all lovely. Thank you

Family experience

When it comes to the value for cost we have nothing to compare against. However, what we do like the most about Brookdale Hockessin is that it is small only 54 rooms, easy to get around and staff is very friendly. Could work on cleaning and improving food quality. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families.

Good care staff but senior staff in transition

Signed a contract only to find out days later that the medical director, the head administrator and head of sales all moved on to other jobs and the interim personnel was scrambling to straighten out the issues at the facility. Communication was lacking with specifics on the cost of care at each level and with general, good-to-know information such as housekeeping days, laundry days and med times. No formal first day orientation was done with the resident or the family laying out all this information, plus emergenc

Our Experience

The staff is very kind, but no one stays for long. The housekeeping is minimal. Available aides are scarce. The unimportant communication is there but getting contacted by the nurses and important people are lacking. The families must stay involved and engaged. Moving in was an easy process. My family didn't enjoy the food at all. They would get things that they didn't order and it took lots of time to get meals. We kept a stocked mini fridge in-suite to make sure that they ate. I could not, in good conscience, rec

Dissatisfied Family

My loved one was a resident at Brookdale Hockessin and overall our experience was fair or less than. The cleanliness was great. The friendliness was poor. The quality of care and the staff were terrible. There is a desperate need for more staffing at this facility. There is also a great need for better communication with the families. I would not recommend this facility to family and friends.
