State Policy Changes for Home & Community Based Services in Delaware: Impact on Non-Medical Agencies

State policy changes and evolving regulation matter for both providers and clients. While the non-medical home-care sector in Delaware is less regulated than skilled home health, regulatory oversight continues evolving—and agencies must stay ahead. For example, the Delaware Home Care Association and other stakeholders are monitoring policy proposals related to Medicaid home & community-based services (HCBS) and staffing requirements.

For clients of Affordable Home Care Delaware, policy shifts may affect staffing models, service availability, pricing and reimbursement pathways. We monitor legislative developments and update our practices accordingly to ensure compliance, reliability and transparency.

We also communicate with families when changes are anticipated—so you are aware of why a service may change, how it will be delivered, and what your options are. We believe that policy clarity is part of quality care.

If you are interested in how upcoming Delaware policy changes might affect home-care services, we can arrange a briefing or a Q&A session for families of our clients.
