Delaware: CMS Rating Breakdown
Delaware operates 44 CMS-certified nursing homes across a mixed ownership structure. According to current CMS data, 32 facilities are for-profit, 10 are nonprofit, and 2 are government-operated. The state's average Five-Star overall rating stands at 3.3 out of 5.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a broad indicator of facility performance rather than a definitive assessment of individual homes. The methodology has documented limitations and should not be interpreted as medical, financial, or legal guidance. When making decisions about nursing home selection or care, prospective residents and their families should consult each facility's dedicated Care Compare profile and per-facility pages for detailed, current information specific to their needs.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
