Description
About This Community
Built in 1932, The Lorelton building was originally the historic Charles B. Elementary School. Taking up and entire city block, our amazing architectural structure gives our residents not only a great deal of space but each apartment features high ceilings and literally endless walls of windows. The Lorelton is owned by a Foundation not a chain. We are Non-Profit so we keep our rates reasonable. We are locally owned and managed so we have the flexibility to incorporate our resident’s wants and needs into their day rather than rules dictated by a corporate VP via conference call.

We went to The Lorelton. It seemed like all the staff there were really friendly. It was very clean. The place looked like a home away from home. I thought it was a great place. The rooms were nice, they were like apartments. They had a nice greenhouse for those who want to plant. They had activities every day. They just had a really nice gala, like a Christmas carol. It was really cute. I was really disappointed they didn't accept my mom. What they need to improve on is communication. Like they never got back to me to tell me that we weren't accepted into the community. I thought we had a good rapport (myself and the admissions person), but she could have called me back and just said, 'hey, you didn't get accepted.' That was the only disappointing part about The Lorelton.

Lorelton. Quite a place, if you’re elderly and need some assistance.
My brother Tom is still acclimatizing to Lorelton, after nearly eighty years of living on his own.
In his second year, he serves on a committee or two and can always get the ear of the Director, and the Chiefs of Operations.
Kind of hard to get them to change stuff, but they listen to him.
And they care about him. His aches and his troubles. Tom can talk to a nurse, talk to a cook, and they listen too.
Lorelton is quite the place to live, if you’re old and need some help getting around.
Just ask the folks who live there.

Feels like home when you can't be home any longer. Facility is clean & cheerfully decorated. Consistent maintenance and recent upgrades to the lobby, entrance and carpeting throughout . Everyone from security through administrator know the residents and what is going on in their lives. Provides a friendly, happy, secure place to live.

The staff and residents are all very friendly and helpful. When my 91 yr old mother moved in, she was hesitant to go to the dining hall because she didn't know anyone. The staff noticed this and every day someone would go to her room and walk with her to the dining hall until she made friends and felt comfortable.

The Lorelton is a truly excellent facility with outstanding staff. The different units offer flexibility to the residents, and the staff support - nursing, food, maintenance and more - is outstanding. The place operates with everyone connected to many types of activities and to one another. Everyone is justifiably proud to be a part of the operation. We consider it to be our best decision made this year.

This is a relatively small and well-kept facility where everyone on the extremely caring staff knows every resident. I just took my mom to her eye doctor who said that Lorelton is one of the few residences where he has never been concerned that his patients will receive their eye drops as ordered. I know my mom is comfortable, safe and well cared-for.

The Lorelton provides good care, lots of activities and the staff is friendly and patient. The rooms are beautiful and the director works hard to ensure that the air quality is as virus free as possible. A big plus during these pandemic times.

The Lorelton in Wilmington's facility was very charming and well maintained. The staff seems to know the residents quite well and cares about them. What was especially nice is that it does not feel institutional. The residents can have some of their furniture or something important to them outside their door and it makes it very charming. It does not seem like an institutional assisted living place at all. The memory care wing is especially lovely. It has lots of light, is beautiful, and has beautiful artwork and paintings. The people I interacted with there seemed like they felt safe and they interacted with us. It was a very, very positive visit, both at the assisted living and the memory care side. I know some people who have lived there. I have talked to them about the meals and they are perfectly happy with it

The Lorelton was an older and unique building, but it was nice. The rooms were OK. They were comfortable and nice, too. The dining room was very nice. I met their manager. The place was a little dated; they need to spruce up some of the common areas that were outdated.

Excellent for friends and connections, which they did not have at private residence. Staff is very caring and helpful when needed, but not overly solicitous.

Great service. Staff is attentive and friendly. They are responsive to the patient/resident needs and are prompt in following up with family members. My dad enjoys the special lunches that are held and likes the fact that he can bring family members.

Attention to residents is tops. Good food. I have been here in The Lorelton going on nine years now. I really enjoy it. I like the people who work here and I enjoy being here. Food is nice. You get three meals a day and you don't have to pay for the food. I'm very happy and comfortable. We have 24-hour service. I'm very satisfied.

Personally, I receive good care. Usually, when there is a problem, it is taken care of immediately.

I liked The Lorelton. It was a very nice community but we're not going to be able to afford that. The person who took us around was very nice, informative, and we appreciated that she took a lot of time with us. The rooms were nice and it seemed like we could personalize it if we wanted to, which I liked. It also seemed like there was enough space. I liked the dining room setup, which was cheerful and nice.

The Lorelton was a nice, open facility but we were in need of a memory care unit which was not in place yet. The rooms that were being put together for the memory care unit and the assisted living were very reasonable. You had sun in the morning and in the evening on whichever side of the building you were on, plus basic amenities. It looked like they were in the process of upgrading and are a project under construction.

The Lorelton is great. They have lovely rooms of different sizes wherein people need to bring their furniture. It is an old building, but they keep it lovely. They have things going on every day. They sang Christmas carols and have Bingo and all kinds of things. My mother is not a bingo person but she does go to the musical things, and they have children who come in and sing. The food is very good. They have their own nursing staff, which is very good, and they offer therapy for my mother.

The Lorelton was very nice, but it wasn't for us. The staff treated us very nicely, and they were very friendly and accommodating. It only had apartments, and it was not what I was interested in. The place was clean and modern, and it didn't have a nursing home smell at all. The parking was not very good because it was a street parking.

The Lorelton was beautifully decorated with really friendly and welcoming staff. They had a beautiful dining room. It's an old historic school in the City of Wilmington that was converted into rooms and apartments. I toured with one of the sales managers who was very friendly. It was a large, lovely facility with bright hallways, well lit with big bright beautiful windows in all of the apartments. They had lots of activities like gardening outside, sponsored movies, clubs and groups, and trips outside the facility. They also had a craft room. Regular groups go together based on interests and hobbies that were expressed by the residents, and clubs were formed around the collective interest of the community, not just a social worker or an activities director. The apartments were just so bright with high ceilings and big, beautiful windows.

Lorelton was the one that I liked the best, but it was very expensive. The rooms were very large. I had a meal there of prime rib, and it was excellent. They seemed to have a lot of activities going on. There was a lot of interaction and games for the residents. I was impressed with the size of it, the courtesy of the staff, and the fact that people seemed happy there.

We went to The Lorelton. I was impressed with it. It was very nice. The apartments were extremely nice and spacious. There was a lady doing chair exercises and everybody seemed happy. The staff was very nice and pleasant. The place was clean and had a very homey atmosphere.

The Lorelton is a nice facility, and my father seems well adjusted. The staff is very helpful, and they have nurses. They have very nice and clean apartments. He has a one-bedroom apartment. The dining room is the one thing we really like, which looks like a restaurant. They have a lot of different things everyday -- trips to the casino, to the grocery store, to the restaurant -- and they have walks.
