Questions Milford families ask

Is Milford in Kent or Sussex County?

Both. The city straddles the county line, and we care for families on both sides. See Kent County and Sussex County.

Does Medicare pay for home care?

Medicare pays for skilled home health that a doctor orders, but generally not for help with bathing, meals, and daily tasks on their own. More on Medicare.

Is your office nearby?

Our office is in Dover, about 20 miles north. We also serve families toward the beaches; see Lewes and Rehoboth Beach.
