In the picturesque Georgetown, Delaware, Harrison House of Georgetown stands as a beacon of advanced therapeutic services catering to the needs of residents from eastern Connecticut to western New York. Evoking the tranquility of a farmhouse along the Eastern shore, this senior living community provides a serene backdrop for residents on their journey to regaining functionality. With 24-hour skilled nursing care, an on-site physician, and a dedicated Medical Director, Harrison House of Georgetown places the well-being and rehabilitation of its residents at the forefront of its commitment. Harrison House of Georgetown has been a bastion of 24-hour care for over three decades, overseen by licensed skilled nurses and compassionate caregivers. The private and semi-private rooms, recently revitalized, offer views of landscaped grounds or meticulously designed gardens, providing a rejuvenating environment for residents.
The campus boasts conveniences to streamline daily tasks, including a barber and beauty salon, restaurant-style dining, a private guest dining room, religious services, and transportation services. Whether requiring short-term or long-term skilled nursing care, Harrison House of Georgetown ensures residents receive superior attention and care from a highly-trained staff. The on-site rehab gym, featuring an Activities of Daily Living (ADL) suite, empowers residents for a triumphant return home by practicing essential daily activities such as dressing, self-feeding, laundry, meal preparation, and bathing. Collaborating closely with each resident, occupational therapists instill confidence and comfort in performing these vital skills. The impeccably maintained gardens and expansive porch area beckon residents and their families to unwind on comfortable rocking chairs. In the recently renovated services area, a dedicated team of tenured skilled nurses and therapists tirelessly collaborate to guide each individual toward achieving and sustaining their highest level of independence.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 29m per day | ▼ 53% State avg: 1h 2m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 1h 10m per day | ▲ 15% State avg: 1h 1m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 16m per day | ▼ 8% State avg: 2h 28m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 30m per day | ▼ 13% State avg: 4h 2m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 7m per day | ▼ 21% State avg: 9m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 21m per day | ▼ 51% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."
