Senior Stroke Rehabilitation and Therapy
Falls are a leading cause of injury among seniors. At Delmar Gardens, our skilled nursing team provides expert fall prevention programs and balance training to enhance mobility and reduce risk.
The Importance of Rehabilitation After a Stroke
Many people seek immediate medical help after a stroke in seniors, but they often skip rehabilitation, thinking they can handle it on their own. Whether due to emotional readiness, lack of support, or cost, these concerns are common. However, rehabilitation is crucial for helping stroke survivors regain independence, improve quality of life, and reduce long-term effects of stroke in seniors.
Skilled nursing rehabilitation offers targeted therapies to rebuild strength, relearn essential skills, and adapt to lasting changes, along with emotional support to boost confidence during recovery. Without rehab, seniors who have experienced a stroke risk facing greater health complications.

This program ensures sustained support to help patients manage ongoing health challenges, maintain progress, and work toward their recovery goals at their own pace.

From Humble Beginnings to Skilled Care Leaders
Skilled Nursing Care is the hallmark of the Delmar Gardens Family. Our late founders Barbara and Henry Grossberg, with their sons George and Gabe, provided care to elderly friends and neighbors out of their modest, University City, Missouri apartment. As popularity of their kindness grew, so did the need for space.
The Grossberg family met the Goldberg family in the early sixties and together in 1965, the first Delmar Gardens skilled nursing and rehabilitation opened. Today, the Grossberg and Goldberg families proudly continue exclusive ownership and operations of Delmar Gardens, ensuring family first…always.
