Delmar Gardens Management Services, Inc.

This is one of my faves so far

We toured this community while looking in care options for a loved one. I thought Delmar Gardens seemed like a nice enough place, but it was also very very expensive. Based on what I saw there wasn't anything to set them apart enough to justify the vast price difference between this and some other communities we saw in the area.

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. At the time we toured they did not have any availability so we ended up selecting another community, but this is somewhere I would have considered as an option for my loved one.

Had lunch with mom...rooms are nice and the view over the lake is very appealing.

This was the best. Great location, great environment and residents seemed very happy. Difficult to get in touch with Shaunda and I left numerous calls that were not returned. Bathrooms are small and angular - not wheelchair friendly. There are no walk-in showers, although some tubs have tiny cutouts but still have a tall lip to step/trip over. Plush carpets are difficult to work with in a wheelchair.

At Garden Villas of Lenexa they need more upfront communication from the nursing staff. I didn't feel like they got a good idea of what her medical needs were upfront. Other than that everything else is really good here. I like it.

Met with Activities Dir, Linda, because Wendy was at a corporate function. It is also an older facility but near where I live. It has been well maintained and updated. I am going back today to tour with Wendy because I have a lot of questions that I was sure Linda could not answer. Pluses are it's near to me, Apt sizes are good, have either balconies or patios, rates are reasonable, all inclusive rates, on site bank, mailboxes serviced by USPS not staff, longevity of staff. Negatives are no w/d in apts and no transitional memory care available

We toured this community while looking into senior living options for our loved ones. While it wasn't our favorite, Delmar Gardens still seemed like a nice place overall. The facility was clean and nice, and the staff seemed friendly. However I don't think it was the best fit for us, our loved ones are on the younger end of the senior scale, while the population here seemed a bit older and not quite as active as my parents wanted.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for our loved one. I thought this was a very nice looking place overall! The staff were friendly and seemed very understanding of the needs of their residents. However, we felt this place was a little bigger than our loved one would have been comfortable with.

Generally, Nancy & I are very satisfied. However some of the vegetables are overcooked (broccoli, brussel sprouts)

I like living here it is kept clean. The dinner menu needs to be upgraded not the same thing. I feel a place like this needs a director that is friendly and joins in the activities that the activity department has put together whenever possible.

Very large complex; rooms were very nice size and fully equipped with mini-kitchens.

It's very nice and it's very expensive. I would say their facility is nicer compared to Dunwoody and they have the nursing home right there.

Very good place. My mother loves it here. They do a good job in getting her involved and are very encouraging. Seems to be some confusion on getting the meals right as to what she has ordered. We looked at several options and this gave the most value as to services and size of room.

I have been touring the area for my mother and I toured this facility recently and immediately felt like I returned back to the late 80s with the outdated color schemes and gold/brass sconces and light fixtures. The advisor and director who run the facility were very nice and proud of their services and accommodations. Overall, staff and residents seemed happy where they worked. The staff were not all employees and the facility did incorporate agency workers. Compared to other facilities in the area, this one needs a huge update with new carpeting, kitchens, fresh paint, bathrooms with a fresh look (new vanities, toilets, walk-in showers), and decor. The rooms were small, rundown, and need some TLC. Also, there were several repair workers in the building repairing stuff which felt like everything was broken. I have taken pictures to bring back to my mom to perform a few tours of ones that she would like and after entering the building, I knew this one was not going to make the cut.

He's doing okay. He's a little too young and therefore not much stimulation for him there. He's safe and cared for.

Delmar is fine, it's starting to cost more for my mom. She likes it there, I should have looked into the facility further. Dining is nice there but the food service and the meals could be better. Should be better. My mom had tomato soup she said tasted like warned V8 juice. When I've have visited and had meals with her I wasn't thrilled. School lunches are better. They offer sugar free deserts but never have them available. My mom may not make it through the year, so we will let her live out her time there. They are updating that's a plus. It certainly has helped with the smell especially in the dining hall. I'll change my stars from 2 to 4. Over all there OK, most of the staff care. But they need better cooks. The veal last week was not good., it was boiled!? Like I said they need better cooks. Food should always be a priority.

The wife and I enjoy our two bedroom apt, maid service, laundry service, maintenance, promptness, available oven, stove, refrigerators, dishwasher, garbage disposal, Wi-Fi, excursion bus, meticulous laws, shrubs, flowers, parking areas, bingo, Thai chi, fitness exercise, water exercise, walking group. full gym, arm chair, travels and peers.

This is a convenient Location for my family. The facility is aging and attempts are made to alleviate. Food is good but sometimes too salty. Staff is polite and helpful. Admin. Staff is cold and unfriendly.

Definitely wouldn't recommend memory care or the rehab services. The way the memory care unit is arranged doesn't make sense (which even a staff member admitted to me) & I feel put my family member at risk for falls because staff have no visual contact with residents inside their apartments. Plus residents were locked out of their apts most of the time & wandered the halls aimlessly. Not nearly enough activities planned. My family member was in rehab for several weeks after breaking a hip & I saw minimal effort to work with her & try to meet any rehab goals. She never walked again. Zero communication with family members. Skilled nursing was better. The staff seemed caring & listened to concerns & went above & beyond (returning jewelry my family member had lost). Still, equipment was iffy (my family member's wheelchair was missing a tire for several days until I brought it to staff's attention). Most times residents were left to sit in the lobby in their wheelchairs with no activities planned. My family member was never taken on any outings in the 9 months she was a Delmar. All in all, I wouldn't recommend Delmar for anything except assisted living. If you have the $, the independent & assisted living apts seemed very pleasant & the food was excellent for those residents (& guests). They seemed to have an active social life on that side of the facility.
