All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Hockessin,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Willowbrooke Court at Cokesbury Village is a small nonprofit home, just 10 certified beds in Hockessin. Staffing sits at 3.96 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 3% above the national average, though weekends run about 10% leaner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Its last inspection was in July 2025, so the picture is current. With 4s and 5s across inspection, quality, and staffing stars, the numbers are solid. The size cuts both ways: close attention, but few peers on site.
Complete Care at Brackenville runs 104 certified beds in Hockessin under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.85 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide. That headline number hides a wrinkle: weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday won't quite match a Tuesday. Staff turnover is 51.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters for anyone hoping for consistent caregivers. The current inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $16,801. The last inspection was February 2025.
Regal Heights runs 172 certified beds under corporate ownership in Hockessin, and the staffing numbers are the strongest thing it has going. Nurse hours per resident day sit essentially at the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 5% below weekdays, which is a narrower gap than many homes manage. Turnover is 41.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble is everything else: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 65 deficiencies on the current record including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $46,999. Staffing can hold a building together, but it doesn't erase an inspection history like that.
