Arden Courts in Wilmington, DE is a dedicated memory-care community equipped to support residents with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. The staff is trained to monitor and assist residents who wander, either in the morning or evening, and can manage special diets, diabetes controlled by oral medications, and the needs of adults under 60. A nurse is on call around the clock, and visiting podiatry services help residents maintain foot health. The community can also accept residents who have co-existing psychiatric conditions. Daily care covers full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, as well as some help with eating. Residents who need mobility help can receive standby support, single-person transfers, and assistance whether they use walkers or wheelchairs.

To keep residents safe and engaged, the building maintains an awake night staff, 24-hour security, door alarms, a fenced rear area, and WanderGuard technology. Each apartment is equipped with pull cords that alert team members. An activity director plans structured programs throughout the day, which means residents are rarely without purposeful engagement.

Accommodation options include suites with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual temperature controls, and cable service, although not every unit contains every feature. Independent-living residents can arrange for housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan, allowing them to stay focused on a low-maintenance lifestyle while still enjoying the security of a larger campus.

Meals are prepared on site, and residents can request food to order rather than follow a fixed menu. Snacks are available throughout the day so blood-sugar levels and appetites stay consistent—an important benefit for residents coping with memory loss or diabetes.

Amenities extend beyond direct care. The community is wheelchair accessible and welcomes small pets; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. There is an exercise room, an indoor pool, communal gardens, an on-site barber and beauty shop, and regular religious services. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach off-site appointments or local outings without difficulty.
