That’s why we invite you to learn what it’s really like to live here—not just from us, but from the families who’ve walked this path before you. Their stories reflect what we strive to create every day: a place that feels like home, filled with care, connection, and peace of mind.
Therapies That Nurture The Whole Person
At Delmar Gardens South, we believe that wellness is about more than just medical care—it’s about nurturing the heart, mind, and body. That’s why we offer a variety of therapies designed to support our residents in feeling their best, both physically and emotionally.
Pet Therapy
There’s something incredibly joyful about spending time with a furry friend. Our pet therapy program brings friendly, gentle animals into the community for residents to interact with, offering comfort, stress relief, and lots of smiles. Whether it’s petting a dog, playing with a puppy, or simply enjoying a companion by their side, pet therapy provides a powerful sense of connection and emotional support.
Generational Therapy
We also encourage intergenerational bonding through our generational therapy program, which brings children and young families into the community. Residents light up as they share stories, play games, and engage with younger generations. These meaningful interactions help build a sense of purpose and joy, bridging the gap between ages and creating truly heartwarming moments.
Rehabilitation Therapy
For those recovering from illness, injury, or surgery, our rehabilitation therapy services provide personalized physical, occupational, and speech therapy in a supportive environment. Our skilled therapists work closely with residents to help them regain strength, improve mobility, and maintain independence—all with the encouragement and compassion our community is known for.
A Culture Of Genuine Care And Compassion
If you’re wondering what truly sets Delmar Gardens South apart, many families say it comes down to how deeply our staff cares.
“The staff hugged the residents here like we do when we come in and visit our mom and dads. They really make the residents feel like they are an extension to their family at Delmar Gardens South.” – Madonna Bogacki, Resident Family Member
You might notice those small but meaningful moments—a nurse holding someone’s hand during a tough day, or a caregiver pausing to share a laugh in the hallway. As another family member told us, “You knew just by looking at her that she lost one of her residents. It’s a sign of compassion.” This isn’t just care. It’s connection. It’s knowing that you’re surrounded by people who truly see you.
