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.

Starting Price $3,200/Month Info Pricing updated on October 7th, 2026

Stonegates

4031 Kennett Pike, Wilmington, DE 19807
Overview of Stonegates

Stonegates offers nursing home, skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Wilmington, DE. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident maintains a private living space. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Having several care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving to a different level of care does not require leaving the community. With 49 beds, Stonegates is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know one another. Housing options include one bed, two bed, and cottage residences, and a two bed option can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

The community is car dependent, with a Walk Score of 39 out of 100, so most errands require a car or a ride. Medicare and private pay are accepted, though Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence. Total nurse staffing is 8 hours 15 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated per resident. Pets are allowed, so a resident can keep a pet with them at Stonegates. Michele Dennis serves as the administrator.

Housing options range from studios to one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, with two-bedroom floor plans accommodating couples or shared living. Household pets are welcome on site.

With 17 beds, Shipley Living is a smaller community that may suit someone who prefers a setting where staff and residents can become familiar with one another. The range of care levels can also suit a resident whose needs grow over time, allowing continued care within the community rather than requiring a move elsewhere.

Overview of Lutheran Towers

About 0.8 miles from the city’s downtown, Lutheran Towers is an independent living community in the Trolley Square neighborhood of Wilmington, Delaware. Occupants live in their own private apartments, with front desk staff’s daily support and access to shared amenities and social programming, instead of in a setting built around personal or medical care.

The community complements daily living with a set of practical services: on-site transportation, housekeeping, and wheelchair-accessible spaces, along with a 24-hour staffed front desk for added peace of mind. A regular calendar of scheduled social activities gives residents easy ways to connect with neighbors. Small dogs and cats are welcome, so residents sharing their home with a pet can bring with them that companionship. The neighborhood itself scores 82 for walkability, so most errands and everyday essentials are easily walkable. For occupants and visiting families, it’s then simple to get around Trolley Square on foot, whether for a coffee run, a doctor’s visit, or strolling in the area.
