Forwood Manor
Assisted Living & Independent Living · Wilmington, DE
Operated by Sinceri Senior Living, Forwood Estates is a 40-bed assisted living and independent living community on Marsh Rd about five miles from the city center in Wilmington, Delaware. It supplies respite care, giving families a short-term option and longer-term living arrangements. Rawalda Alexis Goring serves as administrator and Pauline Mwangi as nursing director.
The three-story community has studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom housing options, so occupants can choose a layout that fits their needs. Open for about a year, it’s a newer addition to the area. Daily life includes housekeeping, physical therapy, and exercise programs, plus a full calendar of social events and recreational activities to engage residents. They can access a beauty and hair salon, a library, and a 24-hour concierge service. Dining is restaurant-style, not a fixed cafeteria schedule. Transportation services exist for errands and appointments, and the community welcomes pets, beneficial for occupants who don’t want to leave a companion animal. The somewhat walkable surrounding area has a Walk Score of 35, so a few nearby errands can be finished on foot. Most trips, however, need a car or the community’s transportation service.
Asking about current room availability and pricing may be necessary for families considering Forwood Estates.
