Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Wilmington, DE

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.
