Foulk Living

1212 Foulk Rd, Wilmington, DE 19803
Overview of Foulk Living

Organized around nursing home care, skilled nursing, memory care, assisted living, independent living, and respite care, Foulk Living has its address in Wilmington, DE. Under skilled nursing, no hour of the night goes uncovered by licensed nursing. Memory care provides supervision and secure surroundings for residents living with dementia.

Assisted living lets the apartment stay the resident’s own while staff take on daily tasks. Independent living means living privately and using community services, with no care arranged day to day. Respite care is a stay a family can plan, giving the family caregiver a proper break.

With a list this long, the level above is already part of Foulk when a resident’s needs climb. At 44 beds, Foulk is a smaller home, and at that scale staff and residents have room to become acquainted. Each resident’s day carries four hours and two minutes of nurse staffing on average.

Three routes to payment apply here. If a hospital stay came first, Medicare can cover eligible skilled care for a limited stretch. When savings won’t carry a longer stay, Medicaid is where an eligible resident turns, and otherwise payment is private. Leslie Johnson is Foulk’s administrator.

A pet can join its owner here. The area scores 33 for Walk Score, car-dependent, so most errands take a car or a ride for anyone who doesn’t drive.

Housing runs from studios up through one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. The largest layout also fits a couple or a resident hoping to have a companion nearby.
