Overview of Rockland Place

Rockland Place is an assisted living and memory care community at 1519 Rockland Rd in Wilmington, Delaware. It’s part of the Watermark Retirement Community network, a multi-community senior living group. The home sits roughly 3.7 miles from downtown Wilmington and about three-quarters of a mile from a nearby hospital, keeping medical care easily reachable for residents and visiting family. It’s housed in a three-story building with 104 beds, offering studio, alcove, one-bedroom, and shared room options. That array gives families a choice between more private and more shared living arrangements in the same community.

Assisted living and memory care are offered on site. Personalized care consists of daily health checks and medication management for occupants on short-term and long-term stays. Scheduled local transportation is attainable upon request, and residents receive an activities calendar comprising classes, outings, and other events. The home also offers beauty services, housekeeping, and exercise programs as part of daily life. Rockland Place is led by administrator Paul C Taylor, with Kimberly Luces serving as nursing director. The surrounding neighborhood has a Walk Score of 30, meaning it’s somewhat walkable. While most errands need transportation, some nearby services are reachable on foot.-
