Gilpin Hall in Wilmington, DE is licensed as a skilled nursing facility, offering round-the-clock nursing care for residents who need ongoing medical oversight. Registered nurses and certified nursing assistants are on site at all times to handle medication administration, wound care, and coordination with outside physicians. Physical therapy services are available on site, allowing residents who are recovering from surgery, illness, or injury to work toward improved mobility without leaving the building.
In addition to direct nursing and rehabilitative care, Gilpin Hall provides support services that help residents stay as independent as possible. Care plans are reviewed regularly, and the staff monitors vital signs, nutrition status, and changes in condition to make timely adjustments. The facility also arranges transportation for off-site medical appointments when required and keeps families informed about any changes in health status.
Resident accommodations include a selection of private and semi-private rooms. Features such as cable connections, regular housekeeping, and access to outdoor areas or an outdoor garden are available in many rooms, but not all accommodations include every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specifics during a visit.
Dining is handled through a meals-provided program that serves three daily meals designed to meet dietary guidelines for seniors, including modified textures or therapeutic diets when prescribed. Menus are overseen by dietary staff and can be adjusted for individual medical or cultural requirements.
Gilpin Hall also maintains an activity center, a library and computer lounge, and organized clubs and communities to support social engagement and cognitive stimulation.
