Overview of Cadia Rehabilitation Renaissance
Cadia Rehabilitation Renaissance is a 130-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility located on Route 24 in Millsboro, Sussex County, Delaware. It is operated as a privately owned business corporation under administrator Marycolleen Rodgers. The center accepts Medicare and Medicaid and focuses on short- and long-term nursing, rehabilitation, and memory care.
CMS rates the facility 2 stars overall — below the Delaware average across all four rating categories. The health inspection score is roughly 26% below the state benchmark. Staffing is about 24% below, and quality measures about 29% below. Total nursing hours run 3 hours and 58 minutes per resident per day against a Delaware average of 4 hours and 43 minutes, placing the facility 27th of 38 Delaware SNFs. CNA hours average 2 hours and 15 minutes per day, 9% below the state figure.
The seven-year deficiency record shows 6.4 deficiencies per year — 27% better than the Delaware average of 8.8. That figure, however, is pulled down by cleaner COVID-era surveys; the pattern since 2022 is more concerning. The October 2021 annual inspection produced 26 deficiencies spanning staffing shortfalls, medication errors, infection control, care planning, and resident dignity.
The August 2023 annual inspection added 7 more, again citing minimum staffing failures. Multiple complaint investigations between 2022 and 2025 were substantiated for abuse-related deficiencies. A June 2024 survey found the facility failed to immediately protect residents from alleged sexual abuse by a CNA; a May 2024 investigation substantiated resident-to-resident physical altercation and verbal abuse by a registered nurse.
The most recent complaint survey, concluded June 2, 2025, found staff failed to report an abuse allegation and did not suspend the accused CNA during the investigation. Separate desk-audit findings in March 2024 and March 2025 found the facility fell below Delaware’s 3.28 PPD staffing-hour minimum on multiple days in both periods.
The center offers 24-hour staffing, memory care, and rehabilitation services including a structured Care Transitions and Discharge Program. The community’s occupancy rate is 82%, in line with the Delaware average of 80.7%.
Families considering Cadia Renaissance for post-acute rehabilitation or long-term nursing care should weigh the facility’s repeated staffing shortfalls and substantiated abuse findings against its geographic accessibility in southern Sussex County.
Wilmington Nursing and Rehabilitation is a 138-bed skilled nursing and long-term care facility at 700 Foulk Road in Wilmington, Delaware, offering rehabilitation and memory care services. The facility is operated by Wilmington SNF Operator Holdings LLC and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
CMS rates the facility 1 star overall — 62.8% below the Delaware average on health inspections, the sub-rating that carries the most weight in the composite score. Over the inspection window, the facility has averaged 13.3 deficiencies per year, roughly 51% above Delaware’s average of 8.8.
Enforcement actions include $409,000 in federal fines across three penalty events, 316% above the Delaware average among penalized facilities. A substantiated complaint in April 2024 found the facility failed to report resident injuries within required timeframes. The most recent inspection, in May 2025, cited deficiencies involving a failure to maintain required CNA staffing ratios.
Overall staffing levels are close to Delaware averages — total nursing hours average 4 hours and 16 minutes per resident per day, ranking the facility 15th of 38 Delaware skilled nursing facilities — though CNA hours specifically run 16% below the state’s average at 2 hours and 5 minutes per day versus the state’s 2 hours and 28 minutes. Therapy staffing includes physical therapy aides, physical therapy assistants, and respiratory therapy technicians. The facility’s occupancy rate is 83%, in line with Delaware’s average of 80.7%.

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 90 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.
