Encore at Wilmington

My mother is about 10 weeks into her recovery from a stroke and surgery. She had recovered from a larger stroke and a diagnosis of vascular dementia. While she was in the hospital for 2 weeks, I checked the skilled nursing facilities provided by Christiana in and around Newark & Wilmington. I was looking for a grounded feeling and evidence of an engaged staff - so I’m so very grateful to have found Shipley Living. I can leave at night with peace in my mind knowing mom is under the care of their dedicated staff of compassionate nurses, aides, and therapists. I feel like I am in a collaborative experience with them. When mom arrived, she had lost some swallowing function and would only say a few words. She was totally bed-bound and I wasn’t sure if she would regain her capacity to eat solid

I visited Shipley Living and met with Chanel, Jameca, Joanne and Keisha and others. Everyone in this facility is very welcoming. The staff is extremely helpful. I also was fortunate to have tried the food. They have what was called the Shipley Burger. It was excellent! I met a few of the residents as well and it was overall a great experience. I was treated like family during my visit. Thank you!

Encore at Wilmington is a well-run community with a caring team and a positive atmosphere. Staff are dedicated, leadership is engaged, and residents are treated with respect and dignity. It’s a place where people genuinely try to do the right thing every day.

My Aunt, who suffered a severe stroke in June 2024, has been provided warm, passionate, and loving care at Shipley Living ever since. Through the professionalism and patient administration of her meds, meals, all her needs, she is now flourishing in her spacious, beautiful, furnished apartment. My family attributes her tremendous progress to the unrelenting care given si livingky by the entire Shipley Living team! John C Conte POA

I was just recently at Shipley Living Healthcare for 2 weeks. The staff came in and introduce themselves to me. Whoever my aid was for each day, I must say, well done. The room and bathroom was clean every day. Clean and fresh towels and washcloth, everyday. My bed was made everyday. I always enjoyed mealtime. They often many types of activities and game. My favorite was BINGO. Yes the atmosphere made me feel at home. At time a staff would come in and just hold a regular conversation which help lift my spirit. Thank you Shipley Healthcare for your love, from the heart.
