What to Consider About Assisted Living in Seaford

Situated at the head of the Nanticoke River, where Captain John Smith began exploring Chesapeake Bay, Seaford, Delaware, has a rich history. To serve the more than 7,000 people living in the city, almost 19% of whom are seniors who may be considering assisted living options, Seaford has two assisted living facilities with two more in the surrounding area of Delmar. 

In Seaford and the rest of Delaware, assisted living facilities are licensed by the Division of Health Care Quality.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Seaford

  • The Seaford area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Nanticoke Health Services, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Seaford has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Nanticoke Senior Center, an organization that provides a fitness center, games, activities and social gatherings for members and helps them connect with volunteer opportunities within the community.
  • The weather in Seaford is well suited for seniors who are heat sensitive. Summer temperatures rarely get above the high 70s, and winter temperatures average just above freezing. The area does get more rain than average, which may be a concern for seniors with arthritis or other bone and joint issues.
  • Crime rates in Seaford may be a concern for seniors and their families. The violent crime is almost double the national average, and the property crime rate is 239% higher than the U.S. median. Seniors will want to consult with potential facilities to find out what their safety procedures and protocols are.
  • Seaford has a slightly lower overall cost of living, coming in at 96 compared to the national average of 100. However, the state average is 109, which could mean seniors in assisted living in Seaford could see some savings. Healthcare and housing are both lower than the national and state averages, which could also decrease the price of assisted living care.
  • The state of Delaware is considered a tax-friendly state for seniors. Social Security income is not taxed and income from pensions and retirement accounts are only partially taxed, which can leave more room in the budget for Seaford seniors.
