Westminster Village Assisted Living sits on 27 acres in Dover, Delaware, right in the heart of town but with a feeling like the countryside, and it's part of Presbyterian Senior Living, which has over 96 years in senior care, and you can find them online at wmvdover.org. The community serves people aged 55 and older and supports many needs, including Independent Living, Personal Care, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, End of Life and Comfort Care, Hospice, Home Care, Adult Day Services, and Medicare-certified Home Health Care, and this way someone can stay in one place while their needs change. The building has wide walkways, wheelchair access, and a three-story structure, and offers one- and two-bedroom apartments, charming cottages, private and semi-private rooms, and maintenance-free living with floor plans for both apartments and cottages.
The campus has quick access to places like PAM Rehabilitation Hospital and Walgreens, less than a mile away, for anyone who needs medical or pharmacy visits. There's a Life Plan Community model, which means people can move easily into a higher level of care if necessary, and the community follows a resident-driven approach to wellness-this is called the Thrive Wellness model, taking body, mind, and spirit into account. Residents have support from staff around the clock and can get help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, medication management, and even incontinence care or mobility help, and 12-16 hour nursing care with constant supervision is in place. The memory care unit is a secure space for people with dementia and offers personalized care plans, activities that keep the mind active, and supervision.
There's a whole list of amenities that try to make everyday life easier and more social, like game rooms, a library, a business room, a barber/salon, a fitness room, gardens with walking paths, exercise classes, arts and crafts, pet therapy, wellness programs, a spa and wellness room, and on-site dining with changing menus. Westminster Village runs many activities-movie nights, music, outings, clubs, resident-run events, theater trips-and has a schedule that keeps everyone as busy as they wish. It's pet-friendly, so many residents can keep a pet, and there's maintenance, housekeeping, laundry, and transportation all handled by the community, including rides to appointments and trips outside.
Meal service is available on-site with various food choices, and residents can rely on a 24-hour call system for safety. The leadership includes an Executive Director, Sales Director for Independent Living, and a Director of Admissions for the Health Center, with a staff that aims to be compassionate and service-focused, guided by the life and teaching of Jesus. Apartments are designed for ease and comfort, so residents don't have to worry about upkeep, and everyone has access to concierge services. The entrance fee starts at $55,300, though this can change, and everything is geared towards giving people flexibility to choose their own daily experience while having peace of mind, knowing help is there if they need it, all while surrounded by friendly faces, gardens, and a comfortable home setting.
