Independent Living in Delaware
Seniors looking for a peaceful place to retire may find Delaware suits their needs. The state is known for its pristine beaches, mild weather and quaint towns, but even in one of Delaware’s seaside retreats, seniors aren’t far from the action. Major cities like Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. are just a short drive away, and there are big city attractions in the state, with shopping, arts and dining easy to find in Wilmington.
Delaware has other attractions besides the miles of shoreline. Almost 20% of the state’s 990,000 residents are aged 65 and older, so there are plenty of services and amenities designed for older adults. The state is also known for being tax-friendly due to a lack of inheritance and sales taxes and generous income tax deductions for retirees. Seniors can find good health care locally, and some of the country’s best hospitals are within driving distance if complex care is required.
The cost for independent living communities in Delaware averages $4,348 per month. This guide includes further information about the cost of independent living in the state, how to fund a transition to an independent living community and some of the resources available for seniors in the state.
The Cost of Independent Living in Delaware
Note: Because there are no reliable sources of cost data for Independent Living, we used the 2021 Genworth Financial Cost of Care Survey to estimate expenses. We took the cost of Assisted Living in Genworth’s study and subtracted 35% from this amount because Independent Living generally costs 30-40% less than Assisted Living.
Delaware is bordered by Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania: New Jersey is the only state with a higher cost of Independent Living than Delaware, averaging $4,222 per month. Maryland’s average monthly cost of $3,185 is $712 less than Delaware’s and Pennsylvania’s cost is significantly less at $1,232 each month. Nearby, Virginia and West Virginia also have lower costs of Independent Living at $3,413 and $2,704, respectively. The state’s cost is also higher than the national average by $972.
The average cost of Independent Living in Delaware’s capital is higher than the state average, but only by $50. Compared to the capital cities in adjacent states, Dover is $809 a month more expensive than Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, but $1,347 less expensive than Trenton, New Jersey. Cost data wasn’t available for Maryland’s capital, but the cost of Independent Living in its most populous city Baltimore is lower than Dover’s by $859.
Independent Living is only one type of senior living community and generally offers little to no hands-on care. For those needing some help, Assisted Living in Delaware averages $5,995. Seniors needing extensive care can expect to pay $12,273 for a semiprivate room or $12,577 for a private room in a Nursing Home Care facility. Delaware seniors can also opt to receive care in their own homes with In-Home Care and Home Health Care averaging $5,339 per month. Finally, seniors who need nonresidential care will find Adult Day Health Care options in Delaware at around $1,661 per month.
Can You Use Medicare or Medicaid to Pay for Independent Living in Delaware?
Unfortunately, you cannot use Medicaid and Medicare to help pay the monthly fee for residing in an Independent Living community. For seniors who need help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), there may be financial assistance programs available to help cover the cost of care in Independent Living. For more information about financial assistance for those who need a higher level of care, read our guide to Assisted Living in Delaware.
Read on for more information about using alternative means to make Independent Living more affordable, such as retirement funds, the sale of a home, etc.
Paying for Independent Living in Delaware
There are many ways for seniors to fund a move into an independent living community. For older adults who are downsizing, the proceeds of the sale of their homes can be used for independent living. Homeowners can also rent out their existing homes or take out a reverse mortgage to help fund the transition. Seniors may be able to use their existing income to cover monthly expenses as housing, transportation and meals are often included. Our independent living page has more information about paying for independent living.

We visited Ivy Creek Gracious Retirement Living, it was a nice place. Everything is there, the activities, and all the meals are included. The one thing my parents wouldn’t like is that they had to be in the dining room for all the meals, they’d want their meals in their apartment. So that was the only drawback. The room had a refrigerator and a little kitchen, but the price was too high for them. That was the main issue. In terms of activities, they had different things like a men’s club and a women’s club. The dining room looked very nice, and they decorate for different holidays and different occasions. They have a manager 24-7, and in case of emergency they’d go into the residence and there’s always someone there, so that was nice. All the apartments are on the upper level where they are, depending on who took stuff in, and that was nice. It looked like a nice place, if you have a car you could park there, it’s easy to access for handicapped. There’s an elevator and everything’s accessible for older people.

The Residence at Chadd’s Ford was lovely. I had a very thorough tour of the three different apartments in the whole building that we were allowed to tour. The chef sent me home with a pie, and it was delicious, boxed and hot right out of the oven. It’s wonderful. The place was beautiful. The rooms were small, but beautifully done and beautifully decorated. It had a very cute closet, and the coat closet and pantry were shared. It would be a very huge transition for most people, from one independent living to another, unless you needed some physical care. It would be a consideration for me for a stopover. If I needed to go someplace, it would be a good choice, but for long time stay, it’s not enough for my husband.
The staff who gave me the tour was wonderful. It’s the first of my looking, so I have to take the size as a consideration, that maybe this is just standard. It would be something to really get your head around on how much downsizing we’re talking about. Some of these places are only as big as my bedroom. Their villa room was beautiful. Two of these rooms had a beautiful scenery, the rest of them, you look down on a major road. There were some cons, and that major road was definitely one of them, because that’s not what I would wanna look at.
They were all doing some kind of a book club when we walked by, but because of COVID, we really didn’t go near any of the people. There wasn’t anyone in the gym, but the place was only 40% capacity since the place is new. There was not a lot of activity going on, but I saw the activities up on the board. They had yoga and different things. They didn’t have any amenities, like a pool, but they had lots of game rooms and social gathering areas. It’s a beautiful place, but I don’t know if I could live in something that small, even though it had all the other big rooms to visit and amenities.

If you’re in the independent living, it’s like living in a resort, and it’s quite a nice place to live. Every Friday during the summer, they do barbecue for all the residents. They do field trips to the theater, movies, ice cream parlors, and weekly runs to the grocery store nearby. They have bocce ball, a putting green, tai-chi, bingo, sing-alongs, and they bring in musicians. It’s fantastic; I wish I could live there now.

Marydale Retirement Village seemed very welcoming. From what I saw, they appear to help the people in there a lot. They even have a food bank in there. The staff was excellent, very welcoming, and very helpful. There is a person who has been working with me for the last three weeks. She is trying to get me in there. I haven’t had a tour inside the rooms, but they look small from the outside. They have wi-fi. They have a washer and dryer in each unit, so that’s a good thing.

I got my mom into an income-based, independent living apartment complex. It is pretty nice, so we’re all good. It’s called Park View at Naaman’s Creek. They have a community room where they have movie evenings and sometimes guests, but not right now. I think they’re going to restart that in late March because they have shut that down. They have laundry on the first floor. There are trash chutes on every floor, so it is easy for you to go and empty your trash, and then there’s a game/community room, a little library area, and a computer room as well. There are no dining services, so you cook for yourself. It’s very nice. The staff is attentive. If you have an issue, you can call them, and they get right back to you. They have an in-house hairdresser so you can go and get your haircut and a little wash, and I believe they have a nurse who comes in here and there.

I toured the River Club Apartments. It was nice and friendly, a nice environment. The one bedroom I looked at was a little small. She quoted one price and then another price, so that’s what turned me off, because I’m on a fixed income. That was difficult to do because I couldn’t pay that amount each month. Other than that, she was very friendly, and the place was very beautiful. I loved it. I would have liked a bigger place, because I just didn’t like that as soon as you walk in you see the kitchen and a living room, but the best part of the whole thing was the bathroom, because the bathroom was huge. I liked a little bit of kitchen though. I liked how they have so much that you can do there and so many things you can visit. They have a place where you can exercise, you can go out and sit on the balcony, and they also have it where you sometimes can have family members come, and you can entertain them out there, or you can just sit out there and relax and read. I liked it because I’m a quiet person and I like quiet. It was very quiet. They have cafeterias there.
