Overview of Westminster Village in Dover

Westminster Village in Dover is a Continuing Care Retirement Community in Dover, Delaware, set on 27 acres about 2.7 miles from the city center. It offers a full continuum of care on one campus, spanning independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, respite care, and rehabilitation. That range is its defining feature: a resident can move between levels of support as needs change without leaving the community or the people around them. The community serves adults aged 55 and older and is managed by Executive Director Wendy Nerad.

Daily life is organized around the Thrive Wellness program, a resident-driven approach built on six dimensions of wellness. In practice that shows up as fitness classes, wellness programming, dining options, and time spent in the community’s gardens. Transportation services and on-site fitness and recreation round out the offering, and pets are welcome.

Housing is arranged in single-story buildings, with one-bedroom and two-bedroom options ranging from 550 to 1,130 square feet. The floor-plan range gives couples and singles room to choose a layout that fits how they actually live.

The campus sits in a residential part of Dover that scores 31 out of 100 for walkability, so a few errands may be reachable on foot while most trips will involve a short drive or the community’s transportation. For families weighing a continuum-of-care setting, an in-person visit is a good way to see how the wellness programming and shared spaces feel day to day.
