Forwood Estates
Forwood Estates in Wilmington, DE, offers independent living and assisted living options. Independent living provides a private residence alongside community amenities, whereas assisted living adds personal support for daily tasks like dressing, bathing, and managing medications. Having both care levels under one roof allows residents to step up their assistance over time without moving to a new property.
Administrator Rawalda Alexis Goring oversees this 40-bed community, which maintains a smaller scale that encourages close interactions between staff and residents. Housing options range from studios to one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, with two-bedroom floor plans accommodating couples or shared living. Household pets are welcome on site. Most daily errands outside the property require a car or arranged transportation, as indicated by a walk score of 35.
Individuals seeking adaptable senior living arrangements can contact the management staff to discuss floor plans or schedule a walk-through.
