Paramount Senior Living at Newark sits in a peaceful spot in Newark, Delaware, in a sturdy three-story building with classic Delmarva brick and shutters, and the place has caring staff awake and ready all day and night, every day of the week, so if someone needs help or has an emergency, there's always someone close by, and they have special teams for admissions and marketing right in the building. This community offers a wide range of care for older adults all under one roof, including independent living, personalized assisted living, dementia care with a secure, purpose-built memory section, skilled nursing, home health for those who want help in their own homes, rehabilitation therapy, and hospice care, giving folks a chance to age in place with the support they need at every stage.
Residents can count on regular housekeeping, laundry, linen changes, and help with bathing, dressing, and medication, plus escorts or walking assistance when needed, because the staff really do care and treat each person with respect, wanting everyone to stay as independent as possible, yet always close enough to give a reminder or help folks with memory trouble, and even supporting those who need behavioral care or have complex health issues like diabetes or incontinence. Meals come three times daily, made from scratch and served restaurant-style-there are vegetarian and special diet choices, like low-salt or low-sugar meals, and folks don't have to worry about shopping, cooking, or cleaning up, plus there's always someone cheerful to greet residents with a smile every day. The grounds and common areas are welcoming, with both indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing, and the nearby Newark Reservoir has just about two miles of paved walking paths with water views, which makes it a nice spot for stretching your legs or sitting quietly watching nature.
Daily life brings lots of engaging options, since there's a full-time activity director planning stretching classes, art and brain games, cooking, educational talks, gardening, pet-centered programs, and even outings for shopping or fun, and devotional services both onsite and off, so there's always something going on for folks who want to make friends or keep busy, and special events help everyone find a sense of connection and purpose. There's a structured activity schedule for both residents living independently and those in memory care, and the secure dementia section uses technology like alarms and bracelets to keep residents safe if they might wander.
The community has onsite nurses and licensed practical nurses, offers visits from physicians and social service staff, can handle complex nursing needs, short-term respite stays, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, spiritual and bereavement counseling, and they provide specialized medical equipment and help as needed, such as for insulin injections or diabetic care, which lets residents with different health needs feel supported. Pets like cats and dogs are welcome, with policies in place for safety, and there's always an option to take the facility's transportation or use resident parking if someone still drives, making shopping or doctor's trips easier, plus there's transportation for group outings available most days.
The building enforces a no-smoking policy for all indoor areas, keeps male and female accommodations separate, and makes the whole campus accessible for wheelchairs or those needing walking aids, with private bathrooms and safety features in every unit. Short-term respite care, hospice, and even home care are options for those who want care in their own home for a while or who need a bit more support before coming back to the main community, and families can expect staff to look out for their loved ones' health, social life, and spiritual needs as best as possible.
Paramount Senior Living at Newark sits close to medical resources, with Christiana Hospital five miles away and the Wilmington VA about ten miles off, plus being near the I-95 corridor means easy access to the greater Philadelphia area. Residents get a safe, friendly place with home-like touches, dignified care, and lots of social and recreation options, whether they're looking for active living, personal help with daily tasks, or more advanced dementia care.
