“Hi Gladys, I am emailing to share with you just how pleased we all were with you (you never stopped checking in with us always making sure we were comfortable), your staff and your top notch facility. I must admit I was terrified walking into this whole thing, of course being that dad was coming to the end but knowing that he wasn’t going home and having to find a place for him – for a first timer like myself, it was foreign and overwhelming. Finding you all changed that as you made this experience as comfortable as could be and for that I am extremely grateful and thankful for. I want to mention that each and every staff member we worked with was simple incredible. Bruce, Richard and Tom took the time to explain all details during admissions – they were so very efficient, helpful understanding and genuine. Nurse Melissa was on top of every moment – she addressed all our concerns and needs and for me, when I felt so helpless during much of this experience helped me understand what ”
“Bruce, So many times, no matter how busy you were, you made an extra effort to go and see my mom to try to comfort and reassure her fears. You were there for her, holding her hand when she was in the hospital so many times. I am eternally grateful for the kindness and support you have given us. Thank you for being such an important part of our family.”
“Gladys, Thank you so much for all you did for our Mom. You were a God-send from the minute she walked into Delmar Gardens West. We also wanted you to know how much we appreciated every member of your Delmar Gardens West team. Without exception, every member of the entire staff was professional and caring and appreciated by us, and of course, our Mom. Gladys, the entire operation at Delmar Gardens reflect your amazing leadership, kindness, and spirit. Please don’t hesitate to let us know if we can recommend Delmar Gardens West to future residents.”
“Dear Staff and Friends of Delmar Gardens, Thank you very much for the love and care you gave to my sister. You were all very kind and caring. My sister was a special person and wonderful caregiver. Nursing and caring for others was her passion. Many times she would say to me “If I cannot go home, I need to make this my home and they treat me like a princess.” No matter when we visited, you all were giving her great care. She is now at home, free of pain and dancing with the angels. God’s Blessing to you all, Sister of Resident”
“Dear Richard, I wanted to reach out to you on behalf of my family to thank you for the outstanding service my mother and her family received while a resident at your facility. My mother was Diana and she had a brief stay prior to her surgery to remove a malignant brain tumor, then a 4 month stay after surgery until her death on 1/9/16. This has been a trying time for my family. She was not young…75 years old. But there was no indication at all whatsoever that something was so wrong with her health. But I can tell you that having her at your facility helped so much to ease some of the pain and I will always have the great memories of the times my mother and I shared there. I miss coming there an would look forward to it every day. Obviously, I would highly recommend your facility to anyone in need of skilled nursing or long term care. You run a top notch operation there and we do so appreciate everything that was done for my mother and my family. Sincerely, Christina”
“Dear Delmar Gardens Staff, Just wanted to take a moment to reflect on the time my mother spent at your home. She loved her time there, the staff was just wonderful, her care was exceptional. She loved the food! My only wish is that she could have been there sooner. She spoke very highly of her room mate, Mary. They were like sisters. Thank you all for everything you did for our mom!”
“Dear Richard and Staff of Delmar Gardens West, Thank you so much for the care and compassion that was extended to Jerome D. during his time at Delmar Gardens West. We are thankful that he received the best care during the most difficult period of his life. The hospice care allowed him to pass away without pain and in peace. We appreciate the kindness you extended to me and my son, Jerry, as well. It made it easier for us to deal with the emotional time in our lives. Sincerely, Lois D.”
“To the manager and staff of Delmar Gardens West: I just spent a week visiting my mother-in-law of 47 years in your clean, bright and cheerful facility. I had the pleasure of attending several ice cream socials. Afternoons can be long when PT is completed in the morning, and these events were welcome distractions for your residents. Mostly, I want to tell you how impressed I was with the staff I met in my week in Missouri. I’ve been a hospice home care volunteer for 22 years, and have spent time in various facilities in the Detroit Metro area. I know that the loveliest facility is nothing without caring staff. Thank you for making a difficult situation as pleasant as possible form any senior residents. Sincerely, Jane c”
“Dear Katie, Thank you for the chocolate cake you supplied Betty and me last Wednesday at dinner. Your thoughtfulness made our 59th wedding anniversary one to remember, at least for me. As you know, Betty has dementia and her memory is facing with each passing day. The entire staff at Delmar Gardens West have been very supportive and helpful, but you and Sean have been especially active in trying to get Betty to come out of her shell. Of all the staff that comes in contact with Betty, you two are the only ones she knows by name which shows how much of an influence you have had on her. I don’t know of anything that you haven’t done to try to get Betty to participate in the various activities. Sadly, she has not responded during these 15 months that she has been at DGW. My daughters and I want to thank you for all of your efforts on Betty’s behalf. You have gone above and beyond what would normally be expected and we are very grateful to you for all you have done for Betty. Than”
“Richard: Please see that this is given to all of the people who took care of my mom. You should be proud of all of them. Thank you. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Delmar Gardens West for the kind and loving care you all gave my mom, Annabelle R. Each and every person in 400 and the staff downstairs (as my mom called it) deserves a thank you. I’m a little nervous calling out names because I know I’ll leave someone out…but here goes….. There was Judy, Sean, Grace, Stacy, Kisha, Emily, Lisa, Beth, Joanne,Tina, Bruce, Laverne, Mike, Karen, Makisha, Yolanda, La paris, Janine, Sandy, Max….a whole community of loving and special people. Some names escape me, like the lady that danced with my mom when she came in the room, the ladies from laundry, nails and supplies. That does not mean they count less. Angie’s incredible kindness and skill were so apparent as she cared for mom the last few days…I’ll never forget her compassion and how she kept mom with her a”
“Dear staff at Delmar Gardens West, I speak for my whole family when I say we were so impressed with the level of professionalism and kindness our father/grandfather Ray S. received during the last few months of his life. The care and compassion Ray and his loved ones were shown, was above and beyond our expectations. From Ray’s nurse, Tracy to Pamela and even the Chef all showed grace and tenderness. Every staff member we encountered surpassed our expectations. They were a great support in our time of sorrow. The staff truly cares for their patients and their families. I can’t thank you enough for making a challenging time just a little less difficult. The “Thank You” Veterans Service to honor Ray is one more example of the top notch caring and service at Delmar Gardens West. Please share with all the wonderful staffs there. Many wonderful thank you’s! Family of Ray S.”
“To the staff of Delmar Gardens West: I am the sister of a resident and I would like to thank all of the staff of Delmar Gardens West for a good meal and a pleasant day on Sunday the ninth.
