Situated on Weldin Road in an average walkable neighborhood, the 73-bed facility maintains a 92 percent occupancy rate, indicating active demand for its services.

Rehabilitation and respite care are provided in a setting that highlights medical support and skill development.

Pinnacle Rehabilitation & Health Center is on South Dupont Boulevard in Smyrna, Delaware. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

Walk Score of 24: you’re driving everywhere, which is standard for suburban Delaware corridor locations. The average stay here is 90 days. That’s longer than a typical short-term rehab placement and shorter than long-term care, which puts this squarely in the subacute and extended recovery range. People come in needing more than a few weeks of post-hospital support but aren’t staying permanently.

The nursing coverage runs 4 hours 3 minutes per resident per day across all staff types. LPNs and LVNs account for 1 hour 1 minute, nurse aides handle 2 hours 15 minutes, and RNs contribute 28 minutes. The LPN/LVN share is higher here than at comparable facilities, which tracks for a subacute model where licensed nursing presence matters but intensive physician-level oversight isn’t the primary need.

Pinnacle is built for people who need a structured, medium-length recovery environment with consistent nursing oversight and room to rehabilitate at a pace that doesn’t fit the 3-week post-acute model. The 90-day average says it plainly: this is where you go when recovery takes longer.
