Here, residents also have a breathtaking view of the ocean through the community’s rooftop. Public transportation and restaurants also surround the area, offering convenient access to leisure and wellness. This retirement community is one of Puerto Rico’s trusted choices for assisted living and memory care, especially with its exceptional standards and stunning amenities.

Thirteen years into operation, Edlyn Care runs as a single-story community at 261 Ann Dr in Middletown, Delaware, owned by Linda K Agyapong. Its service list spans assisted living, home care, residential care, respite care, and skilled nursing, which is a wider net than most communities cast. That breadth shows up in what residents can actually access here.
The Walk Score sits at 0, car-dependent territory, so families visiting or residents wanting fresh air nearby will need a vehicle rather than a walkable stretch of sidewalk.
Licensed nurses and CNAs handle blood draws, injections, suction, Foley catheter insertion, tube feeding, colostomy care, infusion therapy, and IV drug administration, the kind of hands-on medical work you’d expect from a skilled nursing setting, not a typical assisted living community. Rehabilitation services and respite care sit alongside that clinical work, and psychiatric support and family education round things out.
Day to day, staff help with meal prep, activities of daily living, medication reminders and administration, homemaker tasks, light transportation, companionship, and safety supervision. Add in geriatric care, and the picture is a community set up for residents whose needs go past basic assistance and into ongoing medical management.
Residents also get transportation services and access to fitness and recreation, and pets are welcome, so a resident’s cat or dog doesn’t have to stay behind. Medicaid coverage is accepted, which matters for families weighing how to pay for care that combines medical complexity with everyday support.
Edlyn Care reads like a place built for someone who needs more than help getting dressed. It’s set up for residents managing real medical needs day to day, with the nursing and clinical infrastructure to back that up.
Kpanah HomeCare Services operates out of 1050 Industrial Drive in Middletown, Delaware, offering two distinct models under one name: a residential assisted living setting and home care for people who want support without leaving their own homes. That dual structure is the defining feature of this provider. It’s not a large institutional campus; the profile suggests a smaller operation with minimal published data on capacity, staffing, or programming.
The location is deeply car-dependent. Walk Score 6 is close to the floor of the scale, and anyone visiting or working here will need a vehicle for essentially everything.
Kpanah is state-licensed through Delaware’s Division of Health Care Quality, which governs assisted living communities separately from the federal CMS certification framework. It is not listed as a Medicare or Medicaid certified provider. In practice, that means it operates primarily on private-pay terms. Delaware’s assisted living licensure carries its own regulatory requirements.
A garden is listed among the amenities. What we have here is a small, privately operated assisted living and home care provider in a car-dependent corridor outside Middletown. For families who want flexible, state-licensed support without navigating CMS benefit structures, it occupies a defined and specific niche.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Delaware
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Delaware?
Assisted living in Delaware supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Delaware?
Assisted living in Delaware is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Delaware Medicaid cover assisted living?
Delaware Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Delaware) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 54 assisted living facilities in Delaware. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Delaware?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Delaware, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Delaware?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
