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. In assisted living, staff help with daily activities that have become challenging, including medication and bathing. Independent residents live privately, using community services while daily care remains excluded.

Forty beds is a limited quantity, just enough for faces to remain recognizable. Each unit is a studio equipped with its own kitchen, allowing for meals to be prepared at home. Monthly rates begin at $4,400.

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.

The administrator is Rawalda Alexis Goring.

Overview of Oakbridge Terrace at Country House

Oakbridge Terrace at Country House in Wilmington, DE offers assisted living, memory care, nursing home and skilled nursing care, along with respite care. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication while a resident remains in their own living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision, while skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care around the clock.

Respite care offers a short stay while a usual caregiver travels or recovers. With 40 beds, the community is smaller in scale, giving staff and residents the opportunity to get to know each other. The combination of assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing can suit a resident whose care needs may increase over time without requiring a move to another community.

Rehabilitation services and short term rehab provide therapy during recovery within the same care setting. A fitness center, pool and walking paths offer places for exercise and outdoor walks. Medicare and private pay are accepted: Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, while private pay means a family pays directly. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours 6 minutes per resident per day, representing the nursing time available for each resident’s daily care, and Jennifer Greenwalt serves as the administrator.

Overview of Weston Senior Living at Highfield

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.
