Here’s a sneak peek inside Atracare’s brand-new facility on Plantation Road!

We’re on site at Plantation Road, where Atracare’s Primary Care department will be fully housed in the next couple of weeks. This modern, light-filled space is purpose-built for comfort, efficiency, and truly connected care.

What’s inside (straight from the walkthrough)

  • Primary Care, under one roof: These rooms will be inhabited by doctors, nurse practitioners, and Doctors of Nursing Practice (DNPs) providing day-to-day care in this facility.

  • Across the hall: specialty care with Christiana Care: A multi-specialty clinic is being set up right across the hallway—with specialties such as cardiology, neurology, and endocrinology among the services planned—so patients receive complete wraparound care.

  • Healing, natural light everywhere: The building is “lit up” with natural, healing light to help patients feel good and get better, without harsh fluorescent glare—keeping the environment friendly and warm.

  • Exam rooms ready to go: On the Christiana Care side, multi-specialties will come down to provide care in rooms designed to match Atracare’s normal design—floating shelves, in-room sinks, and all the necessities. Beds and supplies are being installed now.

  • Built for providers, too: Dedicated spaces give providers an organized, calm place to work and see their patients.

Why this matters for Sussex County

  • Growth is here—and healthcare should keep pace. With major retail and residential expansion nearby (including Costco, Target, and a likely Whole Foods across the street), healthcare shouldn’t be left behind.

  • Ambitious project, real access: Sussex County has traditionally lagged in healthcare capacity. This facility is Atracare’s ambitious step to meet the demand that comes with population growth—right here, close to home.

What’s next

  • Move-in window: Primary Care transitions into the new space in the next couple of weeks.

  • Go-live details: We’ll share the first patient day as soon as rooms are fully equipped and staffed.

Atracare provides 365-day care across Primary Care, Urgent Care, Pediatrics, Mental Health, and Lactation Consulting—with a focus on warm design, coordinated teams, and fast access.

Get seen. Get better. Get on your way.

Treating Cold and Flu Symptoms at Home: What You Can Do to Feel Better

This article explains how most healthy people can manage cold/flu symptoms at home using over-the-counter medicines and supportive care. It breaks down what helps specific symptoms—acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever and aches, decongestants for congestion (with cautions about blood pressure and rebound congestion), antihistamines for runny nose/sneezing, and cough suppressants or expectorants depending on the cough type—plus soothing options for sore throat like lozenges, warm liquids, saltwater gargles, and honey (for ages 1+). It warns against doubling up on the same active ingredients (especially acetaminophen in multi-symptom products like DayQuil/NyQuil) and encourages asking a pharmacist if unsure. It also lists emergency symptoms and high-risk groups who should seek medical advice, and emphasizes rest, fluids, humidifier use, and sleep as key to recovery.
