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.

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.
