The Pointe Lodge and Place

After search and tours of surrounding facilities, we found Somerford House to be THE best. My mom has been there 18 months and while Somerford has had some turnover at the management level, the current team is amazing and the care provided has improved tremendously. She is now getting the care she needs and is always happy when I visit. She is participating in so many events and events has group outings. Save yourself time and start your search at Somerford. They are the best in the state of Delaware!!

I visited while looking for a Memory Care facility for my wife. I was very impressed with what I saw of the facility, set-up, the rooms, and the staff. We did not end up going here, only because there is a memory care facility 3 minutes away from my home, where Somerford is 20 minutes. But it was still a close decision. Sales Counselor Andrew was especially informative and engaging. He very much represented the facility well. We met for about 45 minutes and reviewed my wife's needs and what Somerford had to offer. This was my 4th facility to visit and by now I had very specific questions to ask and already knew the "typical" responses that other memory care facilities gave. Andrew's responses were within line, or better, than at other facilities. He was able to give detail when I asked for it, and I did. We took a facility tour, and again, I was impressed. The individual rooms seemed larger than average, and Somerford had a "model room" set up that looked terrific. As we walked, I made special efforts to look at the staff interacting with residents, before the staff noticed us. In both circumstances the staff were consistently friendly, smiled, and interacted warmly with residents and Andrew and me. Another feature I really appreciated was the presence of Fox Rehab staff on site. Over the past few years my wife has had several in-home therapy sequences with Fox Rehab staff, all who were terrific. Having them on site is a big positive for Somerford. The rates were comparable to the other facilities I visited. Again, I can only comment on what I learned from a couple of phone calls and the on-site visit that lasted a bit longer than an hour. But if I did not have a comparably good facility 3 minutes away from my home, I would have no reservations about having my wife go to Somerford.

Somerford is an amazing assisted living facility with outstanding staff. Mom moved into her lovely apartment earlier this year and has been accepted and loved on and made to feel so welcomed by everyone there. Staff is always available for assistance, to answer questions and concerns and lend a hand wherever possible. Mom has become more active and outgoing than sbe has the past few years, attending events and participating in activities and has made good friends. Its been a challenge for everyone during COVID quarantine, but Somerford staff has made it work! We are so pleased and blessed to have Mom residing here at Somerford.
