Seaford Center

Seaford Center sits on Norman Eskridge Highway in Seaford, Delaware, and is managed by Genesis HealthCare, who runs nursing centers and assisted living places in a lot of states, and you'll find both home health and hospice care there as well as skilled nursing, all open and working day and night, with care for short stays, rehab, and long-term needs. You'll see furnished rooms, each with a television and telephone, plus private or semi-private setups, and the whole place feels relaxed with air conditioning, gardens or courtyards, activity rooms, and quiet places to sit since they don't allow smoking and even pets can visit. Residents get help from registered nurses, attending physicians, and an on-site Medical Director, Dr. Joshua McAfee, alongside an on-site Nurse Practitioner, and there's a lot of therapy services-like physical, occupational, speech, and even respiratory-plus relief and palliative care for those who need special support, pain help, or memory help, and Genesis HealthCare brings education for dementia care based on best practice standards. Director of Social Services Robin Meekins and Admissions Director Christine Caripides are there to help with social needs or welcoming new folks, and staff also manage dietary and nutrition needs, medication, wound care and X-rays, dental and podiatry care, colostomy help, IVs, and TPN, while also providing pet therapy and extra hands with personal care. The place covers daily life with meals in a restaurant-style dining room, laundry you don't have to do yourself, mail and newspaper service, scheduled transportation to things outside, pharmacy delivery, housekeeping, and interpreter support if needed. Seaford Center runs several activities-cultural, religious, crafts, music, education, and social events-and there's even a beauty salon, barber shop, cable TV, wireless internet, and comfortable lounges or a café when folks get hungry outside mealtime, and families can gather in private dining rooms when they visit. They handle case management, plan for discharge, and help find community options or services as people recover, and everything stays steady with pain and medication management, memory support for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, hospice services, and Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS), so people stay safe and looked after. The place is in a quiet suburban area not far from town activities, so if people want outings or visitors, those are easy enough to manage, and, all in all, Seaford Center tries to cover both the medical and comfort sides for anyone needing a place to heal, live for a while, or get through tough times.
