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.

DateWhatDetail
Mar 16, 2026OCCL Standards Complaint: SubstantiatedOn February 20, 2026, the Office of Child Care Licensing (OCCL) received a complaint regarding use of improper behavior supports. This incident was self-reported to OCCL by the administrator on January 13, 2026. An investigation began on February 20, 2026, and concluded on February 27, 2026. Based on interviews conducted and documents reviewed, while there is no evidence to substantiate this complaint for use of improper behavior supports regarding the incident reported to have occurred on January 9, 2026. However, this complaint is substantiated for use of improper behavior supports on previous occasions based on interviews with multiple staff members who stated they have witnessed other incidents when Staff #1 interacted inappropriately with a child in care. Five staff members stated they have seen Staff #1 appearing to be frustrated with younger children and two staff members observed Staff #1 grab or pull children aggressively. Staff #1 completed two professional development trainings, The Compassionate Coach: Building Bridges to Support Educators with Challenging Behaviors and Coaching for Change: Working through Resistance, provided by Early Childhood Investigations Webinars.

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.
