Lewes is a desirable location for seniors who want to age in place thanks to its favorable tax policies and beautiful surroundings overlooking the Delaware Bay. Although this community has just 3,200 residents, over half the population is aged 65 or older. Local seniors have access to excellent medical care at Beebe Healthcare’s Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus.
Residents also benefit from personal assistance services agencies that provide in-home care. The median cost of nonmedical home care, including chore assistance and help with grooming, is $5,529 per month according to Genworth’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey. Companies that provide in-home medical care, such as help with medications, breathing equipment and skilled therapies, must be licensed as home health agencies.
