Quality Care and Staff at Encore

We feel the need to highlight the care our Mother is receiving from Encore at Wilmington. The Staff have been warm and welcoming. Walking around the Facility, you are sure to be greeted with a ‘Hello’ and a smile. The Dietary Staff provides quality meals for the Residents. Our Mother has enjoyed her meals, stating they taste wonderful, although that is after her adding some salt and pepper. While parking is at a premium, the Grounds are well-maintained and lit well.

A great place

Positive I really think they get to know each resident on what they like and dislike. I know these places are very expensive but this place they include so much more then the others I visited which were more money. Like cable, internet, clothes being washed twice a week. The other places there was an additional fee. My dad fell when he got there. He didn't think anyone could help him up because he's a big man. But they went and got help. He didn't think they communicated very well but when o told the nurse that she

Great Place, Great Staff..

I would say the staff was very knowledgeable and warm, the residents were very happy and several said that to me on different occasions ( I went back 3 times). Everything was very clean and updated. The food looked great and in ample quantities. The apartments were spacious and renovated. The price was affordable. [Name Removed] was phenomenal!

Review for Shipley Living

Very friendly and [name removed] is very happy. The fact that a lot of the Senior Living rooms are on ground level is convenient. The front entrance has a shaded area, where the seniors enjoy sitting out and socializing. Neighbor sees great improvement in their friend due to socially connected residents.
