What is assisted living and where can I find assisted living facilities in Delaware?

Assisted Living is a housing option that provides supportive services to residents. Supportive services usually include personal care and light medical or nursing care. Generally, assisted living care allows a resident more independence than nursing home care. In Delaware, the Medicaid Waiver for Assisted Living and the Medicaid Waiver for Acquired Brain Injury can pay part of the cost of assisted living care for those who qualify.

A list of licensed assisted living facilities in Delaware is maintained by the Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Long Term Care Residents Protection. Please visit the Division of Long Term Care Residents Protection's web site for a copy of this list.
