Delaware families in Wilmington, Dover, Newark, and beyond count on Thrive at Home Network for reliable aging-in-place services. Whether it’s modifying a home for safety or finding trusted local care providers, we make it easy to support independent living for seniors across the First State.
Delaware’s small size makes services accessible, but weather, housing age, and affordability can create specific challenges for seniors.
Key considerations include:
Coastal storm risks (hurricanes, flooding) requiring home safety and evacuation planning
Older homes needing accessibility updates like ramps, safer bathrooms, and better lighting
Cold winters, requiring safe walkways and reliable heating
Affordable housing shortages in some growing suburban areas
