Middletown, Delaware is home to Weston Senior Living at Highfield, a senior campus that covers a lot of ground, literally and in terms of care. Set on about ten acres, the property runs nursing home, assisted living, independent living, residential care, and skilled nursing services all under one roof. Here, a 60-bed residential care wing sits alongside a 19-bed skilled nursing unit, so a resident’s care level can shift without a moving truck involved. The area itself is only somewhat walkable (Walk Score 46), so you’ll want a car for most errands, though a handful of things might be in walking distance.
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are all available, and behavioral health support runs seven days a week, not just weekdays. IV management and wound care happen on-site too, which is the kind of detail that matters more than it sounds like it should when a resident’s needs get more complicated than daily assistance. The residential care wing offers private rooms with private baths, built around a shared country kitchen setup. The skilled nursing unit is structured for residents who need steadier, more hands-on oversight.
Housing here spans one- and two-bedroom apartments and standalone cottages, recently renovated, each with a full kitchen: dishwasher, granite counters, a built-in breakfast bar, stainless appliances. Sliding glass doors open onto a private patio in each cottage. Bathrooms are fitted with grab bars and walk-in showers throughout, and an emergency call system covers the property, both quiet, practical choices that reduce fall risk without making a space feel clinical.
There’s also a religious and community dimension: a Campus Ministry program, organized volunteer opportunities, and regular religious services, coordinated alongside a dedicated health care team. Residency starts at age 55. This is a campus built for families who aren’t sure exactly what level of care they’ll need yet, or who expect that need to change. One address can carry a resident from an independent cottage to skilled nursing without starting the search over.
Thirteen years into operation, Edlyn Care runs as a single-story community at 261 Ann Dr in Middletown, Delaware, owned by Linda K Agyapong. Its service list spans assisted living, home care, residential care, respite care, and skilled nursing, which is a wider net than most communities cast. That breadth shows up in what residents can actually access here.
The Walk Score sits at 0, car-dependent territory, so families visiting or residents wanting fresh air nearby will need a vehicle rather than a walkable stretch of sidewalk.
Licensed nurses and CNAs handle blood draws, injections, suction, Foley catheter insertion, tube feeding, colostomy care, infusion therapy, and IV drug administration, the kind of hands-on medical work you’d expect from a skilled nursing setting, not a typical assisted living community. Rehabilitation services and respite care sit alongside that clinical work, and psychiatric support and family education round things out.
Day to day, staff help with meal prep, activities of daily living, medication reminders and administration, homemaker tasks, light transportation, companionship, and safety supervision. Add in geriatric care, and the picture is a community set up for residents whose needs go past basic assistance and into ongoing medical management.
Residents also get transportation services and access to fitness and recreation, and pets are welcome, so a resident’s cat or dog doesn’t have to stay behind. Medicaid coverage is accepted, which matters for families weighing how to pay for care that combines medical complexity with everyday support.
Edlyn Care reads like a place built for someone who needs more than help getting dressed. It’s set up for residents managing real medical needs day to day, with the nursing and clinical infrastructure to back that up.
Kpanah HomeCare Services operates out of 1050 Industrial Drive in Middletown, Delaware, offering two distinct models under one name: a residential assisted living setting and home care for people who want support without leaving their own homes. That dual structure is the defining feature of this provider. It’s not a large institutional campus; the profile suggests a smaller operation with minimal published data on capacity, staffing, or programming.
The location is deeply car-dependent. Walk Score 6 is close to the floor of the scale, and anyone visiting or working here will need a vehicle for essentially everything.
Kpanah is state-licensed through Delaware’s Division of Health Care Quality, which governs assisted living communities separately from the federal CMS certification framework. It is not listed as a Medicare or Medicaid certified provider. In practice, that means it operates primarily on private-pay terms. Delaware’s assisted living licensure carries its own regulatory requirements.
A garden is listed among the amenities. What we have here is a small, privately operated assisted living and home care provider in a car-dependent corridor outside Middletown. For families who want flexible, state-licensed support without navigating CMS benefit structures, it occupies a defined and specific niche.

Delaware Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Delaware) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
