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.

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.
