Nursing Home Watchlist — Delaware

Homes where the federal record contains at least one of the following: a CMS abuse icon, Special Focus Facility status or candidacy, or a citation scored at actual harm or immediate jeopardy. Ordered with Special Focus homes first.

Read this as a prompt, not a verdict. A citation can be years old and the management responsible may have gone. It means you ask what happened and what changed — and you get a specific answer before you sign anything.

What to do if a home you use is on this list

  1. 1. Read the citations themselves on the home's profile — the inspector's own words tell you whether this was paperwork or a person being hurt.
  2. 2. Ask the administrator directly what happened, when, and what specifically changed afterwards. Ask who was in charge then and whether they still are.
  3. 3. Call your state's Long-Term Care Ombudsman. The service is free, independent, and they know which homes generate complaints.
  4. 4. If you believe someone is at risk right now, contact emergency services and Adult Protective Services — do not wait on a process.
