Pharmacist – Long Term Care (LTC) | Wilmington, DE

Chesapeake Regional Rx (CPRX) is a pharmacist‑foundd, closed‑door long‑term care pharmacy in Wilmington, DE, serving skilled nursing, assisted living, and residential care facilities across New Castle County, Newark, Wilmington, Dover, and the surrounding region.

Why CPRX

Work‑life balance built into the schedule: our pharmacists work an alternating biweekly rotation that includes a 3-day weekend (Friday-Sunday off) every other week. This is also not a retail pharmacy role. There's no walk‑in traffic, no insurance counter, and no bag‑checking — your day is spent on clinical verification and resident safety, not customer transactions. We operate in a modern, automated dispensing environment designed to reduce manual busywork, as part of a small, close‑knit team where your clinical judgment is used daily and your input actually shapes how things run.

Schedule: Alternates every other week — a working week (shorter weekday hours, plus Friday and a Saturday morning shift) paired with a standard 9:30-5:30 week that includes a 3-day weekend off.
