AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO LONG TERM CARE FACILITIES.

Summary

The bill forces Delaware long‑term care facilities to return any non‑per‑diem charges—such as deposits or fees tied to minimum stay agreements—when a resident dies within 60 days, is discharged or transferred within 60 days, or never moves in because of death or a health change. Refunds must be paid to the resident’s estate, beneficiary, or the resident themselves within specified time frames. This aims to protect families from losing money on short stays.
