What these words mean4
Inspection (survey)
A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
Deficiency, citation, violation
What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
Licence status
Whether the state’s licence lets the place operate now, in the state’s own words: licensed, on probation (allowed to keep operating on conditions, after problems), provisional, pending or expired. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.
Capacity
The most people the licence or certification lets the place care for at once: residents, children, beds or apartments, as the state counts them. It isn’t how many are there now. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.

Oct 7, 2025OCCL Standards Complaint: SubstantiatedThe Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint on September 24, 2025, regarding concerns of a staff member not using positive behavior management. An investigation was conducted on September 29, 2025. Three additional complaints regarding the same staff member were received on September 30, 2025. A follow-up visit to complete this investigation was conducted on October 1, 2025. This complaint is substantiated for not using positive behavior management strategies based on pictures and video footage reviewed. While Administrator #1 and six staff members stated they have only observed appropriate positive behavior management within the facility, one staff member stated they have observed questionable positive behavior management but provided no details. The pictures and video footage observed showed Staff #1 grabbing Child #1, initially by both upper arms, then by one arm, and physically removing them from their chair, which is not appropriate redirection. All other video footage observed during a follow-up visit showed Staff #1 using positive behavior management when interacting with children.
Feb 13, 2025OCCL Standards Complaint: No Evidence to SubstantiateOn January 27, 2025, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding concerns of improper staff-to-child ratios, use of improper discipline, not following center illness exclusion policies or termination policies, and not completing injury reports as required. An investigation was conducted on February 3, 2025. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for concerns of improper staff-to-child ratios based on attendance records reviewed and video footage reviewed.

There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for concerns for use of improper discipline based on interviews and video footage. Staff interviewed stated improper discipline is not used within the facility and video footage observed showed staff members using appropriate interactions and no improper discipline was observed. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not following center illness exclusion policies or termination policies based on interviews. Staff interviewed stated they followed both policies for illnesses and termination. Children may be sent home due to lack of participating in normal daily activities and lethargy, which were noted as the reasoning to send Child #1 one day. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for not completing injury reports based on interviews conducted and documents reviewed. Staff interviewed stated they completed injury reports, and a completed injury report was observed.

Staff interviewed stated they have not witnessed or used any improper discipline throughout the facility.

What the record doesn’t say

  • Delaware doesn’t grade violations by severity, so read what was cited.
  • Delaware’s open data lists a visit only when a violation was cited there, so visits that found nothing aren’t shown.
  • Delaware publishes five years of reviews and complaints; this page shows the last three.
  • Delaware doesn’t publish staffing levels or owners for individual providers.
  • Delaware lists only the visits that found violations, so a provider with none listed may not have been visited at all: no count of violations is used to headline, filter or compare its providers.
