Overview of Forwood Manor Assisted Living

Forwood Manor Assisted Living, a 40-bed community in Wilmington, DE, operates assisted living in conjunction with independent living.

There is a beauty salon, along with exercise classes, creative activities, and community education. Outings go to local restaurants and shopping. Walk Score puts the area at 35, indicating it is car-dependent and requires driving for most errands.
