Notes

16 Del. C. Ch. 11, Subch. I (Licensing by the State) was read directly — it covers every LTC facility type Delaware licenses (nursing, assisted living, intermediate care, group/family-care homes, rest residential, intensive behavioral support) in one licensing subchapter, with no medical-director mandate for any. A nursing-facility-specific director may still exist via DE's admin code / the federal 42 CFR §483.75(i) SNF Condition of Participation — not verified here — but assisted living/group homes specifically have no statutory requirement.
