Dellwood Gardens

Very nice place and staff are always polite and amazing!

Our sister has been at Dellwood Gardens for 2 years and it is the best place we could have found for her. She has multiple health issues and the staff are amazing at providing the best care, giving us recommendations for care improvements & alternatives, and discussing options to help us make the best decisions. We are very pleased with all of the assistance, the meals are wonderful and the activities are fun and stimulating. We are so thankful!! Thank you to all the staff at Dellwood Gardens!!

I have lived here for over 6 years now & I used to feel OK about living here--not THRILLED, mind you; just OK! I now find myself pushed into a position wherein I am basically being forced to vacate what I believed would be my home until "the end"; for want of better terminology to explain my position This all evolved after an incident with another resident who (again for lack of more evolved terminology) basically assaulted me by throwing her silverware at me at close range & proceeded to curse at me. It all started because of a private exchange between myself and a kitchen worker that had already been resolved and this resident just felt compelled to "dip" into a private exchange that was NONE of her business in the first place. This was all recorded on videotape and I made sure eventually that there was a case filed with the SP police dept. There is an enormous (at all times) overturn of workers in the aide positions and DG has a inefficient & negative tendency to hire very young & inexperienced people; generally fresh out of NA classes). DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND MY PERSPECTIVE! There are aides whom I truly love nearly as much as I love my own children and have developed close & long lasting relationships with but those gems are very few and far between and the aides that I feel THIS way about (most of them, anyway) have mostly been here since I arrived in July of 2018. DG's way of resolving this 6 months long situation w/this woman/resident (with no end in sight according to satisfy me or my daughter, at any rate) chose a couple weeks ago to tell me that they thought it was best for me to move on to another residence. Completely & totally unfair, imho!! I really hate having to move AGAIN!! This review will be continued because at this point, I feel very badly re/this entire mess & I need to take a break

In October of 2019, my brother and I had to make a hard decision to move our mother to assisted living. We checked out a few places and we knew that Dellwood Gardens was top notch compared to the others. At first our mom fought us and was stubborn and not allowing herself to like it. A few months pass and her Health Partners worker sent me an email telling me that she had spoken with my mom and she loves it and it is the best decision that we had made to get her into such a wonderful place and she feels at home. They have good food, a beauty salon and mom feels safe and well cared for. She has even given in to them managing her meds and doing her laundry (as long as they use her downy) :) They have activities that residents can choose to partake in or not, it is their choice. Mom loves her independence, yet having the safety of knowing that someone will be there in a flash to assist her when/if she needs. Dellwood has truly been a blessing to me as I live in Philadelphia and I don't have to worry about her living alone, I know that she is in great hands. She loves the staff and they assist her whenever she requests it. Kudos to Dellwood!

My mother is on the memory care unit and loves it. She has a key to her apartment so that she knows it is not a nursing home. That is a very important thing for her. The activities keep her engaged and she loves the choice of foods they give her. The staff is friendly and patient. This is an all inclusive senior living. To see my mother happy and healthy is so wonderful. Dellwood Gardens is allowing her to live independently while giving me the peace of mind that she is safe and assisted.
