Delmar Gardens Of Meramec Valley

Dear Ms. Blunt,

Recently, my mother, Irena, stayed at Delmar Gardens for Rehab after her hospital stay. It was a very stressful time and we weren’t certain of the waters we we were navigating. We chose Delmar Gardens of Meramec Valley from a list the hospital staff presented to us. There really was no time to check anything out.  I closed my eyes and pointed a finger and it landed on  your facility.  Uncertainty resulted in luck.

I wanted to express our deeep apprecation for the team of wonderful, caring people you lead.  Everyong from the landscapers, clean up crew, dining and food team, nurses, nurse aids, social workers, therapists, activity leaders and anyone and everyone I didn’t mention or think of. From this wonderful group of people, we had the ddriver of the lawn mower wave his hand, we were greeted at the door with hellos and smiles, and if we looked lost we had people come up to us and ask if they could help us. I write this as if its surprising.  Well it is..

During these challenging times of increasing aging population, staff shortages, work ethics changing, inflation, my mother and I were amazed that this type of ethos exists. What I was dreading turned out to be an outstanding experience. My mother didn’t want to leave.  I now know if she should need the next level of care that i would turn to Delmar Gardens.

Thank you to everyone who al work so hard to create a warm, welcoming and caring environment. You have a dynamic and wonderful team. I trust you are proud of them and yourself for leading such an amazing group.

Sincerely and with deep gratitude,

Mirga R.

To Whom it May Concern,

Wanted to let you know about my wonderful Delmar Garden experience today, I met with Karen White-Cochran (Business Office Manager) Meramec Valley. Karen was so very helpful, I believed she sensed my “deer in headlights” feeling trying to coordinate all my mother’s personal and financial obligations. After our meeting, I now process confidence regarding what I need to do for my mother as she transitions to Delmar Garden, her new home.

Thank you,
JoAnn

My mother’s evening nurse, Jaime, has called me twice she since started working at Delmar Gardens, she is a delight. I enjoy listening to her stories about my mom, especially since visiting is not an option due to the pandemic. It is very evident she cares about the residents.

Thank you, Jaime!

To Delmar Gardens,

Gorman and I would like to thank “everyone” for all the help, care, and consideration Gorman received while being under your care.

A very special thank you to Rodger and Ashley in therapy. They worked so hard and were exceptional. One other outstanding helper was Lamont in the lunch room. He was the only one to get Gorman to eat, this was difficult but he did it and liked the young man.

All were special, the above outstanding. Tell all to have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,

Jerry and Gorman

What a wonderful event at Delmar Gardens of Meramec Valley! Thank you all so much for the invitation to your USO Party! Everyone got on the bus and were just chatty and excited. I had to explain where we were, because I didn’t really explain it before we came. I only told them what the event was, not where. They were trying to recruit your people to come to our Center. haha Once I explained that the people there live there one of our ladies says “my daughter tells me if I don’t take my meds or start using my walker she’s going to put me in a home. Next time I’m going to tell her, GREAT, but make sure I go to Delmar Gardens!”

I am still laughing! Thank you again we appreciate what all of you do so much. I do not have everyone’s email address so if you could please pass along I would greatly appreciate it.
