Rockland Place

Rockland Place stands in a quiet, wooded area about ten minutes from Wilmington, showing off a red-brick, colonial-style look with plenty of green trees around, and it's the sort of place where older folks can find independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing care, all together so they can stay in one community as their needs change, and you'll see spaces like a private dining room, a library, a lobby with sitting areas, outdoor patios for a bit of al fresco dining when the weather's nice, and a billiards room for recreation, with both indoor and outdoor common areas where people can gather. The staff stays awake and available twenty-four hours a day and the community allows pets, with help for those raising dogs or cats, and there's a calendar packed with activities like stretching, Tai Chi, art classes, cooking sessions, karaoke, gardening, brain fitness games, community service, and trips out to places or just outings, with a full-time activity director keeping things running. People who need some help with daily things like bathing, reminders for medications, or getting dressed can have staff check in on them, and the community provides everything from incontinence care, diabetic monitoring, and help for folks that have trouble moving or need lift assist, all the way to therapy visits from podiatrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and even a dentist. Memory care at Rockland Place gives extra support to people living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, offering two levels of secured memory care built especially for those needs, with features like monitored units, computer wandering alert bracelets to keep everyone safe, and programs that use games and activities to help residents stay active and engaged, plus specialized help for those at risk of elopement or with aggressive behaviors. The dining services prepare meals led by a chef, offering all sorts of options, including vegan, vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free, low-sodium, and low-sugar if needed, with Gourmet Bites Cuisine as an extra choice, and room service for those who prefer to eat in their own space. Beauty and barber services are on site, and there's a spa, while professional staff like nurses are on shift, and a doctor stays on call regularly, with partnerships for home health through BAYADA. Residents may go to devotional services both in and out of the building, commute using scheduled transportation for errands or outings-with a cost for transportation for extra trips-and they can park if they drive. The community has short-term stay options and respite care, as well as hospice when needed. They use technology like Accushield, EngageVR®, and iN2L to provide some up-to-date engagement and safety, and you'll find programs like Watermark University, Prema Memory Support℠, Extraordinary Outings, and Resident Ambassadors, which means people can keep learning, socializing, or volunteering. The property doesn't allow smoking in any indoor spaces and makes sure everything's wheelchair accessible, including the showers, and it's the kind of place where folks can settle into retirement life, lean on friendly staff, and keep up with friends or personal interests a long while.
