Overview of Milford Center

Specializing in short-term rehabilitation and long-term care, the multi-awarded community provides professional and compassionate service for its residents. Milford Center cultivates the holistic needs of its residents in a home-like setting.
The services are multidisciplinary for both skilled nursing and rehabilitation services– focusing on post-surgical care, on-site therapy (physical, occupational, speech), strength conditioning, mobility improvement; colostomy care, dementia care, pain management, wound care; and medical professionals are on-call– medical directors, nurse practitioners, and physicians.
Overview of Regal Heights Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center
Regal Heights Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center is Hockessin’s premier subacute and skilled nursing facility that aims to change the meaning of recovery for seniors. The CCRC understands that aging can be daunting, much more so with a disability or condition. The exceptional level of care delivered by their patient-friendly staff is an approach to offering the best care possible for their residents. Regal Heights is where residents feel comfortable and secure in a nurturing environment.
Specializing in short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing care, The community provides essential service that includes 24-hour nursing care, stimulating activities, engaging social activities and programs; therapy services that include speech, occupational, and physical, orthopedic care, wound care, and memory care training that include specialized programs designed to fit the individual’s unique needs.
Overview of Millcroft Living
Millcroft Living occupies 255 Possum Park Rd in Newark, Delaware, a somewhat walkable spot with a Walk Score of 35. It is a small community, with 28 beds across nursing home, assisted living, and independent living, and it has been open for about a year. New facilities have newer infrastructure; they also have shorter track records, which is a relevant fact when choosing a care setting.
Occupancy sits at 72%, meaning 20 of the 28 beds are filled. The average stay runs 97 days, a little over three months. Both figures together suggest this is predominantly a short-stay, post-acute facility rather than a place where most residents put down long-term roots.
Staffing holds up on paper. Total nursing care comes to 5 hours and 6 minutes per resident per day, with registered nurses accounting for about 52 minutes of that. Those are the numbers as reported.
Payment covers Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which lines up well with a facility oriented toward shorter rehab stays where Medicare is the typical primary payer.
At 28 beds with three levels of care and a short-stay profile, Millcroft Living is best suited for adults stepping down from a hospital stay who need structured nursing support in a small setting, and potentially longer-term placement depending on how their needs evolve.

Does Delaware Medicaid cover nursing home care?
Yes — Delaware Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
