Cadia Rehabilitation Capitol sits at 1225 Walker Rd in Dover, DE, and serves as a skilled nursing facility, rehabilitation center, and personal care facility where seniors get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and taking medicines, plus a focus on recovery for those getting over illness or injury with plenty of teamwork among nurses, therapists, and support staff who are known for being kind and helpful, which makes the place feel welcoming and warm even though it's pretty big, since Cadia's a major provider with ten centers and over 1,200 inpatient beds across the Delmarva area. The building has a large dining room and another for families to eat together, televisions and phones in every large semi-private room, free Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, and a clean feeling all through, with nurses, CNAs, RNs, LPNs, and a group of therapists all working around the clock, and some staff members may speak languages other than English. The facility covers long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, and care for more complex needs-things like memory care, IV antibiotic therapy, skilled wound care, diabetes management, dialysis, feeding tube or ostomy care, management of chronic conditions like CHF or COPD, and even stroke recovery, dementia care, hospice, or palliative care, so the medical staff handles nearly everything with regular updates to families about medication and health changes.
The rehab side stands out with a fully equipped gym, computerized cycling gear, deep heat treatment, virtual reality therapy, pain relief machines, video swallowing checks, communication technology for speech therapy, and programs that use physical, occupational, and speech therapy together so people tend to see good results, often quickly, because of the team approach. Nutrition matters too, as chefs and a dietitian serve up three meals a day made with good ingredients in a restaurant-style setting, and there's always an alternative menu for people with different tastes or dietary needs, plus a full-time Registered Dietitian to oversee all the meals and ensure everything matches health needs and preferences. Residents take part in activities like arts and crafts, gardening, music therapy, holiday celebrations, group trips, and plenty of things to do on site, which keeps people busy and encourages friendships. Outdoor seating gives everyone a spot for fresh air, and families find parking spaces easily when they visit.
Some units like the Magnolia unit offer specialized support, and the staff make sure each person gets help that's tailored for their exact needs, using technology when needed, and the care transitions plan helps families with discharge right from day one, covering everything from orders for equipment to setting up home health, reviewing medicines, scheduling doctor visits, and keeping the primary care provider updated. While Cadia Rehabilitation Capitol remains open 24/7 and well-staffed, at this time it's not accepting new admissions, but the facility's long history, size, and wide range of medical and supportive services make it well-known in the community for caring for seniors across different needs and living situations.
