Review for Morningside of Wilmington

Staff care for my belligerent partner patient is a positive attribute. The negatives are inadequate descriptions of rules/regulations in the pre and post admission stages.

Review for Morningside of Wilmington

My experience with A Place For Mom ha been nothing but the best. I took care of my mom for several years and was very nervous about placing her in a facility. Everyone was reassuring, helpful, informative, and engaging. I could not have placed my mom without them. They too were encouraging, reassuring, and engaging. It just seemed right, and I felt confident about the community. Turns out I wasn't wrong. She's adjusting and doing very well.

Tour was very informative and the amount of services and activities was nice. Cost is a factor in our decision and even though place was great money is huge factor. The residents we saw and talked seem to love it there so that was a plus.

An overall positive experience. Morningside representative was open and engaging. Provided me a brief tour of the general facility and examples of different accommodation rooms. Listened to my concern for my wife's current condition and the needs and services I hold in the greatest priority, Provided a general pricing list based upon our expected needs. I left with some confidence that Morningside could satisfy the care requirements of my loved one.
