Testimonials

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.

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!

JoAnn (Joy’s favorite daughter)

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
