Overview of Complete Care at Hillside LLC

Opened in 2025 on South Broom Street, Complete Care at Hillside LLC is one of the newer nursing homes in Wilmington, Delaware. The 106-bed facility is operated by Pc De Opcos LLC, with administrator Ruth Graziano and Director of Nursing Debra Baich-Pietlock leading the clinical team. It runs at about 91 percent occupancy, and residents stay for an average of 99 days, meaning the daily workload is balanced between short-term rehab and permanent residency. Families can clear their accounts using traditional Medicare, state Medicaid, or private pay.

The surrounding area is moderately walkable, scoring a 52 out of 100, so visitors can handle a few errands on foot without needing a car for everything. Inside the building, the floor staff provides an average of 3 hours and 43 minutes of direct nursing attention to each resident per day. This round-the-clock team handles physical therapy, temporary respite care, and targeted clinical programs for orthopedic recovery, cardiac management, and palliative support.

State regulatory inspectors oversee the facility through standard compliance reviews, and because it is a recently established property, its current lifetime citation rate stands at zero.

Prospective residents can get in touch with the main admissions desk to ask about the intake requirements for specialized cardiac care, check on bed openings, or set up a time to walk through the building.

Overview of Kpanah Homecare Services

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.
