New Castle County residents may soon see the development of “pocket neighborhoods”—groups of small, detached homes arranged around a communal open space, such as a courtyard or garden.
Assisted living facilities that offer memory care must now employ specialized staff trained in handling dementia patients, under a new law supported by AARP Delaware.
For the first time since AARP began publishing the Scorecard in 2011, more than half of Medicaid long-term care dollars nationwide for older adults and people with physical disabilities went to home- and community-based services instead of nursing homes and other institutions.
