The Lorelton Assisted Living & Memory Care

The Lorelton Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Retirement Community in Wilmington, Delaware, offers a unique blend of history, spacious accommodations, and personalized care. Established in 1932, The Lorelton began its life as the historic Charles B. Lore Elementary School, occupying a full city block. This majestic architectural gem provides residents with an abundance of space, high ceilings, and ample natural light streaming through its numerous windows.

We understand that transitioning to a new living arrangement often involves downsizing, which can be emotionally challenging. At The Lorelton, we have thoughtfully designed our spacious apartments to make this transition smoother. Our spaciousness allows residents to retain cherished belongings and infuse their new home with familiar comforts, creating a sense of continuity and personal space.

Unlike many chain-operated facilities, The Lorelton is proudly owned and operated by a local foundation. This unique ownership structure empowers us to prioritize the individual needs and preferences of our residents. We believe in a community-driven approach, constantly seeking input from both residents and staff to shape our activities, dining options, and overall living experience.

Our Commitment to Personalized Care

Every individual at The Lorelton is treated with respect, dignity, and personalized attention. Our dedicated team of professionals goes above and beyond to understand the unique needs of each resident, whether they require minimal assistance or more comprehensive support. We offer a continuum of care, encompassing assisted living and memory care services tailored to meet the evolving needs of our residents.

Our philosophy is to create a vibrant and engaging community where residents feel valued and connected. We believe that fostering a sense of belonging is essential to a fulfilling retirement. Our full-time director of activities orchestrates a diverse range of events and programs designed to stimulate both mental and physical well-being.

From invigorating exercise classes like stretching, Tai Chi, and chair yoga to lively social gatherings, themed celebrations, and even virtual reality experiences, there's always something to explore and enjoy.

We understand that pets play a significant role in many people's lives, which is why we welcome well-behaved pets to our community.

Our commitment to providing a home-like environment extends to our culinary program. We believe in nourishing both the body and soul, offering delicious and nutritious meals prepared with fresh ingredients. We also cater to residents' dietary preferences and restrictions, ensuring everyone enjoys flavorful and satisfying meals.

We take immense pride in the long-lasting relationships we build with our residents and their families.

At The Lorelton, we are more than just an assisted living facility; we are a welcoming community where residents feel cherished, supported, and empowered to live their best lives.
