Delmar Gardens North is set on twenty-five beautifully landscaped acres, complete with serene surroundings and a peaceful lake, creating a welcoming and restorative environment for all who enter. Since opening in 1988, Delmar Gardens North has established itself as a preferred provider of skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and specialized memory care in North St. Louis County. The facility offers both short and long-term stays, including rehabilitation services, respite care, and dedicated memory care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of cognitive impairment.
The care team at Delmar Gardens North is led by a Medical Director available around the clock, supported by a full staff of Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, Nurse Aides, and expert therapists in physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Collaborative care planning includes coordination with residents’ physicians and families, with a focus on a healthy healing process that enables residents to return home safely and with confidence. A distinctive feature of Delmar Gardens North is its Ready-Set-Go Home! Program, which provides a three-day, two-night stay in the community’s independent living setting after clinical care is completed. This evidence-based program is designed to help residents gain confidence and practice independence in a safe, supportive environment before transitioning back to their own homes.
For those living with memory challenges, the Specialized Care Unit is dedicated exclusively to residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive impairments. This unit features tastefully decorated Serenity Suites and is structured to offer close supervision without restricting mobility, ensuring personal safety while promoting independence. The staff in this unit are specially trained to provide consistent programming and activities throughout the day that are designed to engage memory, stimulate communication, and support physical strength. Regular exercise and memory-focused activities are integral, with the goal of enhancing motor skills, reducing falls, slowing cognitive decline, and improving overall well-being.
Delmar Gardens North also integrates an Early Childhood Education Center within its facility, a pioneering approach to intergenerational care. This creates valuable opportunities for interaction between residents, known affectionately as “Grand Friends,” and children attending the center. This unique setup fosters bonds across generations, enriching the daily experience for both residents and children and encouraging understanding, empathy, and mutual respect.
Residents at Delmar Gardens North enjoy a full range of amenities and beautifully appointed common areas. The dining room serves as both a social and culinary center, and the community regularly hosts group outings and activities, including trips to local attractions such as Ballpark Village and Cardinals events. Private rooms and comfortable communal spaces like the lobby and sitting areas offer both privacy and opportunities for connection. The vibrant activities calendar includes beloved pastimes such as bingo, music programs, and small group activities, all contributing to a dynamic environment where residents can thrive. From specialized care and rehabilitation to daily enrichment and intergenerational engagement, Delmar Gardens North is dedicated to supporting the health, happiness, and dignity of every resident.
