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 Assisted Living Waiver can pay part of the cost of assisted living care for those who qualify.

Assisted living facilities provide: Administration of Medication - The process whereby a single dose of a prescribed drug is given to a resident by an authorized licensed person, as described in Title 24 Del.C.
