Summary

The law adds new disclosure rules for Delaware long‑term care facilities, requiring them to list their owners and any controlling persons on the state’s website and on the facility’s own site, and to update this information within 30 days of any change. It also sets procedures for notifying residents when a facility’s ownership is transferred, including details about the new owner’s other facilities and any recent disciplinary actions. The changes aim to increase transparency for residents and families while aligning state definitions with federal standards.
