4 questions for seniors who want to ‘upsize their lifestyles’ by downsizing
Meadowcrest at Middletown
Spring is on approach, and many happy homeowners (yourself included) may be getting the itch to do some spring cleaning. Once winter fades, we’re able to take stock in our homes and our lives to see what improvements we can make during the upcoming year. Seniors who are getting close to retirement (or who are already enjoying their golden years), may be considering making a big change this year. Instead of continuing to make costly home improvements or spending weeks cleaning out your closets yet again, is this the year you choose to downsize your home … and upsize your lifestyle?

A new 132-apartment community for seniors, including units for independent and assisted living, is under construction in southern New Castle County where assisted living facilities are scarce.
Meadowcrest is scheduled to open this summer at 820 Middletown-Odessa Road in Middletown on the east side of Route 1, near Odessa.
Owned and operated by Vantage Point Retirement Living, the community will have 63 apartments for independent living, 53 for assisted living and 16 for memory care, said Kate Sammler, Vantage Point vice president of sales and marketing.
There are 33 licensed assisted living facilities in Delaware but only one between Newark and Dover, a 14-bed center in Middletown, Serenity Gardens, according to the state Department of Health and Social Services.
