The Moorings at Lewes sits in a lively neighborhood in Lewes, Delaware, where seniors find a variety of living choices on a 35-acre campus full of gardens, walking trails, and landscaped spaces. Folks can pick from independent living in modern apartments or private cottages, with floor plans that suit different needs, and some apartments get new upgrades as time goes on. The place also provides assisted living for anyone needing help with daily activities, memory care for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's, and a nursing home with skilled nursing and rehab care, so people get support as their needs change without having to leave the community. Home care services with trained aides offer companionship and non-medical support, so residents can age in place with a bit more help.
The community stands out because of its Life Plan, which means residents can move between care types if their health or lifestyle changes, and there's a Move Ahead Program to help with downsizing when folks move in. The Moorings at Lewes is nonprofit and part of Springpoint Senior Living, so it's run by a corporation that puts resources back into the community. The staff's known for being friendly and welcoming, and leadership includes Ms. Carol Holzman as executive director with extra help from Ms. Annette Moore. It has a Seniorly verification for quality, and it's won the Best of Senior Living award. The facility holds an A+ rating with the BBB, even though it isn't BBB-accredited, and it's accepted Medicare and Medicaid since opening in 2007.
You'll notice big, soft-lit bedrooms, bathrooms with walk-in showers and safety bars, kitchens with stainless steel appliances and cream cabinets, and even a den or office by a big window. Memory care units have unique features, like suite dining areas with coastal themes, rugs, and spaces planned to lower confusion or wandering. Everywhere's wheelchair accessible, including showers and living spaces. The common areas offer cozy places to sit by a fireplace, read in the library, or join in on activities in the arts and crafts studio. There's a beauty and barber shop on-site, a worship area, and a garden where folks can spend time outside, or maybe rest under an umbrella on the patio, sit by the pond and fountain, or just walk the paths past the homes. Pets are welcome, too.
People living here get nutritious, chef-cooked meals in restaurant-style dining rooms, and housekeeping takes care of cleaning. For getting around, transportation is available for a fee, with parking for residents and guests. There are fitness centers, an indoor swimming pool with a lift, group activities, and wellness programs through the award-winning LivWell program, all built to support physical, social, and intellectual health. You'll find clubs, outings, contests, and events so there's always something happening. Safety is a focus in memory care, where spaces are secure and designed to ease stress and protect against wandering.
Staff provide medication management and support with daily needs, and on-site rehab and skilled nursing when someone requires more help than usual, so the community supports a continuum of care. Beds are certified, with updates on availability each year. The Moorings at Lewes is pet-friendly, accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, and helps seniors with a full range of health services, from light support to skilled medical care, based on each person's changing needs, always aiming to help folks stay involved and independent for as long as possible.
