What Families Think

Families describe two very different experiences under one roof: the independent living side, known as the Atrium, gets warm praise for its small, friendly community and attentive staff, while the skilled nursing/rehab side draws frequent and serious complaints about cleanliness, staffing, and basic care. Physical and occupational therapy are repeatedly singled out as strong points across both sides, but many reviewers describe unanswered call bells, medication issues, and inconsistent staff professionalism in the nursing wing.

The Good

  • Atrium independent living praised as friendly, small, close-knit community
  • Physical and occupational therapy staff repeatedly praised by rehab patients
  • Several named staff (Sydney, Tiya, Katie, Shelly) called caring and attentive
  • Facility described as clean and odor-free by some reviewers
  • Activities like bingo, music, and outings enjoyed by residents
  • Close to Christiana Hospital, convenient for medical needs

The Bad

  • Several reviewers reported unanswered call bells and slow staff response
  • Several reviewers described dirty conditions and strong odors in the nursing area
  • Several reports of medication errors or missed/late doses
  • Several reviewers noted understaffing and frequent management turnover
  • One report of poor communication around discharge and care planning

Things must have changed they’ve gone completely downhill. My mother had to sign herself out from there. They had her in a broken bed. They gave her the wrong medication and everyone there was unprofessional with a nasty attitude who wants their mother going through something like that. Terrible absolutely terrible. She had to sign herself out would not recommend it to anyone. 🤬

They sent my mother in law home and she died that night. They kept arguing with my husband about her needing care.

Do not send your family here. My grandparents were stolen from and lied to back in early 2000s and they died there. Now my father is being released and they don't have a clue how to even communicate his release. It would be better to let them pass away at home with some dignity then dying in that hell hole

My memories of Churchman’s Villiage will last with me for the rest of my life. Great cared I received and unbelievable respect from every one that worked there. I also met friends and always felt relaxed. Thank You for support Churchman’s Villiage! Love You Guys! Amen

My grandparents moved into the Atrium last year. They had been looking to downsize and find somewhere they could live without all of the upkeep. Their problem had been that places in the area were either out of their budget or not up to their standards. Finding the Atrium was a blessing! They could afford it, stay close to the community they have so many ties to, and not sacrifice their standards. I have been to visit with my three young children, and everyone there, staff and residents, were very friendly and welcoming. It has been the ideal option for them to maintain a level of independence while greatly reducing the workload that typically comes with it.<br><br>Update: my grandmother is still very happy with the friendliness and attention of the staff. However, management isn’t upkeeping the facility at our expected level. For example, the elevator has been having issues and doesn’t work consistently. Being on the second floor using a walker, this has created a lot of issues for her. We are hoping things will improve.
