Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the nursing home staffing requirements in Delaware?
- CMS requires all Delaware nursing homes to meet the federal minimums of 3.48 total nursing HPRD and 0.55 RN HPRD with 24-hour RN presence. Delaware's state average of 3.95 total HPRD is at or above the national average of 3.89.
- What is the average RN staffing level in Delaware nursing homes?
- Delaware nursing homes average 0.72 RN hours per resident per day — above the U.S. national average of 0.69. Individual facilities vary widely; use this tool to compare specific nursing homes.
- How do I find the best-staffed nursing home in Delaware?
- Sort by CMS staffing star rating (4–5 stars) and look for total HPRD above 3.89 — especially RN HPRD above 1.0. Also check staff turnover: facilities below 30% annual turnover typically provide more consistent care.
