I'd say I'm happy with the staff and overall experience there. As far as why we picked it, it was mainly because there are only a couple facilities that allow her dog at her level of care.

Review for Spring Arbor of Wilmington
The front staff and nursing staff, went above and beyond. They eased my mind about my mothers care, and each and every person went above and beyond. At no time did we worry about her safety, care or attention. We were called any time they needed information and they partnered with us to care for my mother as extended family members. We will forever appreciate the love and support they showed our entire family!

Our Experience
The staff at Spring Arbor of Wilmington is lovely. Everyone is very loving and friendly. The housekeeping seems to be good. The bed is always clean and clothes are washed. The move in process was wonderful. They accommodated our weekend arrival. Everyone was smiles and welcoming. The Memory Care unit doesn't seem to have a lot to choose from in regards to activities. I would suggest that they have more activities. All in all, the place is fine.

Staff is very competent and friendly and most of all caring Activities go on all day and keep mom cognitively stimulated and her dementia seems better since there. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend Spring Arbor of Wilmington to other families.

My loved one had a very good experience at Spring Arbor of Wilmington. My loved one was here for a Respite stay. I was very thankful that they were able to offer Respite care. The staff was very friendly. It was very very sweet that they brought out the red carpet for a wonderful welcome on her arrival. My loved one is a bit of a picky eater, so it is hard to please everyone with food. I can't say enough about [name removed], the Director and [name removed]. They are wonderful, caring people! I would recommend Spring Arbor of Wilmington to others.

Unsupervised Seniors at large
The patients are not very well supervised and my father in law walked out of the gate and walked along a four lane road unattended. They need better structure for memory care patients so they aren't free to get into trouble. I would not recommend Spring Arbor of Wilmington for those who are looking for memory care.

Review for Spring Arbor of Wilmington
It's a smaller facility and very hands on. I like it very much. It's a very good facility. They take good care of my loved one. I would recommend it. There is very little turnover of staff. I visit my loved one often, and see the same faces all the time. I think that says a lot about the way the aides treat the residents, and the work environment that Spring Arbor provides.

Dad Loves it Here
I'm thrilled with the place. The cleaning has improved. It's a smaller facility, which is good because the last place was larger, and dad would get lost. The staff is pretty good. There is not too many complaints with food. The activities director is amazing. It is a little pricier than other places but worth the value. Overall, it's a great place, dad is very happy. Also, the activities director is awesome-very musical, and has music sessions with individual residents. One other thing, my dad loves the bus tours.

A place to call home
There is nothing to dislike about Spring Arbor. The staff are amazingly attentive, responsive to needs, friendly and qualified. They are really overall wonderful. There are some personal complications and difficulties with my loved one, but to no fault of the community or the staff. They know my face and I have their cell phone numbers, so I can easily contact them to verify information or check on things. There are certain things I've noticed that could be improved for the price you pay, like cleanliness, worn paint & rugs, door jams, etc. - but I am aware that they've brought in a new maintenance director & personnel, so there's hope that those things will be resolved soon. Overall I feel genuinely positive about the community.

Reliable, Friendly Care
We are very happy with our experience. My loved one wanted to be in a smaller community and it has a homey feel to here. It isn't a hotel like. It has been really good as my loved one is enjoying their time here. The food has been good and reliable and this is a plus.
The staff are friendly and easy to ask questions to. There have been times that I have had to track answers down; however, once I have been able to do this they were able to provide complete answers which I am happy with.

If I had to do it all over again, I would choose another facility.
I'm not very happy with the place. We had to place our loved one at the beginning of Covid, so we didn't get to tour or check it out very thoroughly. We also had to make a quick decision and didn't have a lot of options. When I go and visit, the cushions are dirty where people drop stuff. Our loved one's clothes are dirty, and it looks like she hasn't showered. She doesn't even have a shower in her bathroom. They take each resident on certain days to the shower. She has clothes, makeup, and other things that have come up missing. The furniture and décor is old and outdated, and they don't let your loved one bring their own things in memory care. It's just really depressing in there. I know the girls work hard, and they're nice people. But they're not really doing anything to help the residents. I don't know if they have too much on their plates. There seems to be a minimum amount of staff, and I know they've gone through a lot of turnover of managers and nurses. I don't really see many activities going on. Maybe 1 out of 20 times I go there they'll be coloring or painting. I see activities all the time in assisted living, but not in the memory care cottages. I've read so much on this disease, and I know it's important to keep their minds busy. And that's just not happening here, even now that things have opened up after Covid restrictions. They're charging quite a bit of money for memory care, and I just don't think it's worth it because they don't keep the residents' minds busy. And my loved one is really declining since she's moved here. She says the food is the same thing all the time, and she's lost weight. We're torn about whether or not to try to move her. Most days she says she's comfortable here, and we don't want a change to completely disrupt her. But if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't have put her here.

Challenging at first, but worth it in the end.
This could be in part due to Covid, but the transition from start to finish was very confusing because we couldn't go in and see the room before we moved our loved ones in. So we had no idea what to anticipate. And then once we moved them in, it took a while to rearrange furniture and things like that. Because we weren't able to go in and meet the staff, we weren't able to discuss our concerns or our desires for our relatives from the get-go, or talk about the nuts and bolts of things. For instance, no one told us we would be responsible for providing soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc. There were a lot of those little things to iron out. That being said, the staff has been extremely responsive to all of our questions and concerns. It just took a good 2-3 months to really get settled in. And there are still little things to double check, but overall it's been a good experience. The one concern I have is the room itself is not all that neat and clean. There was dust in their room when they first moved in, and it's still there. The facility in general looks very neat and clean. It's just the rooms that haven't been up to my cleaning standards. But the woman at the front desk knows me by name. She's quick to help out when I ask or get me to the correct person. One of the personal aides has given me her cell phone number and said call anytime. Same with one of the laundry staff. The doctor on staff is very friendly and responsive. We're still trig to figure out the accounting online, but that's likely our issue. Overall, it has all worked out well. If we ask them to do anything, they do it, which has been nice. I really feel confident that our loved ones are well cared for. And my loved ones say they're showered with attention there. They've been content there right from the start. I've also appreciated that there is a base rate for the room, and then another rate for the level of care. So if you have two loved ones with different levels of care, they can stay together.

Be Sure to Check Out Spring Arbor for Your Loved One
I would tell others it is in a nice location. The people are friendly and seem to be caring. They are quick to meet my requests. They are on top of the care of my loved one. My loved one has adapted to the community.
The communication is good and they are fairly prompt in their responses.

It was not a good experience
There was not a lot of physical therapy going on because of the quarantine, and we were not able to eat in the dining room. It did not really meet my needs and every time you left the building you had to quarantine.
