Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (54% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 24 days.
Millcroft Living occupies 255 Possum Park Rd in Newark, Delaware, a somewhat walkable spot with a Walk Score of 35. It is a small community, with 28 beds across nursing home, assisted living, and independent living, and it has been open for about a year. New facilities have newer infrastructure; they also have shorter track records, which is a relevant fact when choosing a care setting.
Occupancy sits at 72%, meaning 20 of the 28 beds are filled. The average stay runs 97 days, a little over three months. Both figures together suggest this is predominantly a short-stay, post-acute facility rather than a place where most residents put down long-term roots.
Staffing holds up on paper. Total nursing care comes to 5 hours and 6 minutes per resident per day, with registered nurses accounting for about 52 minutes of that. Those are the numbers as reported.
Payment covers Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which lines up well with a facility oriented toward shorter rehab stays where Medicare is the typical primary payer.
At 28 beds with three levels of care and a short-stay profile, Millcroft Living is best suited for adults stepping down from a hospital stay who need structured nursing support in a small setting, and potentially longer-term placement depending on how their needs evolve.
Millcroft Living is administered by Ed Burleigh - Interim Admin.
