Cambridge Village of Wilmington allows month-to-month leases and accepts private payments, so folks don't have to worry about long commitments if they want flexibility, and you can even bring along your pet, which you don't see everywhere, so there's some comfort in that. The community offers different apartment styles, with options ranging from studios to two-bedroom units, and most apartments have balconies, walk-in closets, granite counters, and even open kitchens or kitchenettes, some apartments lead out to a patio or have large windows letting in lots of light, so you get to enjoy some privacy and still feel connected. Meals are part of the services, and the monthly Cambridge Credit covers about one meal a day, with plenty of dining options like a main restaurant and pub, an outdoor dining area, a café, an eatery, and even a smoothie bar, where the food focuses on taste and nutrition rather than just looking fancy.
Residents have housekeeping and maintenance every week, and rooms come with cable and internet wired in, so there's less to fuss about. Some housing is independent living for active seniors who want to handle things themselves, others need a bit of help and use assisted living, and there's also memory care with secure areas for people who wander or get confused, with lots of plans and care models to choose from. Registered nurses, therapy staff, and medical services are on-site, including hospice, primary care, skilled nursing, rehab, and even regular help from aides for those who need more support, plus things like occupational and physical therapy visits, so you don't always need to travel for appointments.
Residents can enjoy life enrichment programs and wellness activities pretty much every day, and the staff has a full-time Wellness Director who helps folks with exercise and fitness plans, plus they run group classes, aquatics, land and sea exercise, Tai Chi, and more. There's a 20,000 square foot wellness center with an indoor heated saltwater pool, cardio and strength machines, fitness studios, and even a hot tub and health club, so if staying active is a goal, there's a lot to do. The community has a Village Hall, a movie theater, a putting green, and scenic outdoor spaces, like walking paths, a grand lawn, gardens, and a pond with a fountain, plus courtyards with fire pits and plenty of seating, where folks can sit, relax, or join in on group garden projects or cookouts.
People who like quiet time can read or socialize in the library and reading lounge, or catch a film at the cinema, and there are salons and medspas right on the property, offering all kinds of grooming and wellness services like haircuts, massage, facials, pedicures, and manicures. There's a concierge in the building to help with schedules or questions, and the transportation service gives rides for shopping and local outings, so residents don't have to drive if they don't wish to. There are also special programs every week, day trips, group events, daily social or spiritual gatherings, cooking clubs, art and crafts, games, and regular group outings offsite, so there's usually something going on for different interests.
The staff is friendly, trained, and licensed by the State, and VA benefits assistance is available for those who are eligible, so veterans can ask about support with planning and care. The community sits close to the beaches, downtown Wilmington, and the River District, so people who live there can visit local spots pretty easily. The entire idea is to provide a safe, well-maintained place where people can stay active, connect with others, and still have private time if they wish, and the many care options and services try to make daily life easier and less stressful, letting folks focus on doing what they like or maybe even finding new hobbies.
