Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, and Milton have some of the oldest populations in Delaware. In Lewes, 59 percent of residents are 65 or older. Many people retired here and want to stay in the homes they chose. Reliable Aid helps them do that, with caregivers who come to the house for the everyday things that have gotten harder.

Home care services at the beaches

Personal care: bathing, dressing, grooming, and safe help moving around the house
Companion care: conversation, meals together, and help keeping up with appointments and errands
Respite care: time off for a spouse or adult child who's been doing it all
Dementia care: a steady routine for someone living with memory loss

Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Milton, and Dewey Beach

We care for year-round residents in Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Henlopen Acres, Harbeson, and Milton. Milton families who use Bayhealth in Milford can also see home care in Milford.

After a stay at Beebe Healthcare

Beebe Healthcare's Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus on Savannah Road is the main hospital for the area, and Beebe also runs a health campus in Rehoboth Beach. After a hospital stay or surgery, we can help with the first weeks at home: getting in and out of bed, showers, meals, medication reminders, and keeping track of follow-up appointments. See home care after a hospital stay.

Local support for older adults

The Cape Henlopen Senior Center in Rehoboth Beach and the Lewes Senior Activity Center offer programs and company for older adults, and CHEER runs centers in Lewes and Milton. Our caregivers can help your loved one get ready for activities like these.

Questions families ask

Do you have an office at the beach?

Our office is in Dover, and we care for families across Sussex County. Call the same number, (302) 689-3240, wherever your loved one lives.

Will Medicare pay me to care for my husband?

Generally, no. Medicare covers skilled home health ordered by a doctor, not everyday care from family. In Delaware, Medicaid long-term care is the way to get paid for that care. See how it works.
