After much anticipation, the long-awaited Transitional Care Unit (TCU) at Westminster Village in Dover, DE has opened! What this means for the residents of greater Dover and central Delaware is that when it is time for a patient to leave the hospital, but they require more acute care than a traditional short-term rehabilitation center can provide, there will be a resource available close to home for them to get the care they require. Until now patients with a need for this level of service were forced to choose between a stay in Christiana or Milford. Now they can choose to be close to loved ones and to home.

Condensing a lifetime of memories, mementos and life experiences while downsizing into a smaller space can be an overwhelming experience for many seniors. Oftentimes you are moving from a home you have lived in for 30+ years.

We at Presbyterian Senior Living want to assist you with this major decision. Our team of design specialists and move in coordinators can help ease the transition to senior living by providing you with a new, personalized custom home; a home that will host the next adventure in your life.

December is known as the gift-giving season. The experience of gift giving at this time can be stressful. It can also be a source of enjoyment or humor, especially if you can take a step back and consider the gift giving process beyond the cost or length of the list to be completed. I would like to provide you with a few of the insights I have gained over the years related to gift giving.
