Overview of Oakbridge Terrace at Country House
Oakbridge Terrace at Country House is a 40-bed non-profit skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility accepting Medicare and private pay in Wilmington, Delaware, located on the Country House campus at 4830 Kennett Pike in New Castle County. Skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, respite care, and assisted living are offered within a full-continuum facility.
All four CMS sub-ratings sit above Delaware’s average, producing a 5-star overall rating 52.9 percent above state benchmark. The health inspection sub-rating of 85.9 percent above Delaware’s average is the one strongest signal in the profile, reflecting a consistently clean compliance record across the four inspections on file. Nurse hours of 4h 45m per resident day rank 7th among 38 Delaware SNFs on a case-mix adjusted basis. Quality Measures run 18.2 percent above state average. Inspection reports on file cover April 2022, February 2024, and February 2025; detailed findings from such surveys weren’t rendered in the page, but the health inspection sub-rating and having no enforcement actions confirm a record without serious compliance findings.
Amenities are a fitness center, pool, dining and social areas, walking paths, and outdoor spaces, which reflect the broader Country House community setting.
For older adults in Wilmington and northern Delaware who need skilled nursing, post-acute rehabilitation, or memory care within a full-continuum campus, the facility suits well, as it has above-average staffing and a strong compliance profile in a small state with limited SNF options.

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.
Does Delaware Medicaid cover nursing home care?
Yes — Delaware Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
