    Summary of reviews

    Overall, feedback about Delmar Nursing and Rehabilitation is strongly positive. Families and visitors commonly describe residents as receiving kind, attentive care, and several families credit rehabilitation staff with helping residents regain mobility and return home. Reviewers also praise support for people with dementia, including guidance for families and individualized approaches to communication and eating. A more concerning account described a resident’s requests for assistance getting out of bed not being addressed promptly, with staffing cited as a limitation. This points to a potential need for consistent responsiveness to residents’ immediate needs.

    Staff across nursing, aide, therapy, dietary, housekeeping, activities, and admissions roles are frequently described as friendly, patient, and helpful. Families value explanations about care and behavior, updates, and the opportunity to ask questions. Communication experiences are not uniformly positive: some reviewers had difficulty reaching staff or receiving responses, and one family described an unsatisfactory interaction with a social worker. These accounts contrast with the many favorable descriptions of staff communication and suggest that follow-through and consistency may vary.

    Dining feedback is generally favorable, with residents and families describing meals as enjoyable and dietary needs being considered. One resident found portions somewhat small, while another said the food improved in appeal over the course of the stay. Activities include daily programming, music, seasonal events, and other social opportunities; reviewers describe these as contributing to residents’ enjoyment and engagement.

    The facility is often described as clean, orderly, comfortable, and welcoming, with positive comments about renovations, room conditions, and the overall atmosphere. Visitors also mention smooth check-in and helpful direction. One tour visitor felt the building could use additional upkeep, though this differs from the more common favorable impressions. Admissions and tours were often praised for being informative and supportive. Separately, one family described an admission episode involving a delayed bed delivery and a period when oxygen could not be connected in the hallway. This is a serious individual account rather than a recurring theme in the feedback, but it raises a question about admission readiness and equipment coordination. Taken together, the reviews indicate substantial strengths in staff care, rehabilitation, cleanliness, and resident engagement, alongside concerns about response consistency, communication, and staffing capacity.

    About Delmar Nursing and Rehabilitation

    Delmar Nursing and Rehabilitation sits at 101 Delaware Avenue in Delmar, Delaware, right near MD-404E for easy access, and you'll find 109 certified beds there, though usually about 81 residents stay each day, so it feels smaller and home-like compared to larger places. Louis Gellis has managed the facility since 2015, and the staff includes Dr. James Sides, MD, Director of Nursing Belinda Foy, Director of Food and Nutrition James Thalasinos, Director of Social Services Nancy Peavley, and Certified Nursing Assistant Tammie Yarns, each playing a role in keeping the care focused and personal. The building isn't inside a hospital, and there's free onsite parking for visitors. While there's no mention of appointments outside standard business hours, and no note about weekends, the admissions team works seven days a week around the clock, which helps families transition from home or hospital more smoothly.

    The place takes an interdisciplinary approach, with doctors, nurses, nutrition and social services staff, and therapists all working together to make care plans that fit each resident's needs and goals, whether someone wants therapy with hopes of going home again or just wants a quiet, support-filled place to stay. Delmar Nursing and Rehabilitation is a medical group practice with skilled nursing, short-term rehab, long-term care, hospice services, and geriatric medicine, plus support for residents' spiritual, emotional, and social needs. There's onsite pharmacy, telehealth and virtual visit options, translation services for 15 languages, and special assessments for older adults, plus care for all sorts of health concerns: skin issues like eczema and rashes, mental health support for anxiety and mood disorders, treatments for urinary and reproductive problems, neurological issues such as headaches and TIA, and chronic conditions including arthritis, osteoporosis, and heart disease. There's also care planning, dietary and nutrition services staffed by qualified personnel, and nursing and rehab that cover most needs.

    The place works with both Delaware and Maryland Medicaid, making it the only Delaware facility that takes Maryland Medicaid, which stands out for families who need that. There's a focus on treating everyone with dignity and tailoring care to each person, and the staff aims to provide compassion and help, whether for short stays or longer-term living. Meals, therapy, and activity plans get made for each resident, and the environment feels friendly and comfortable, with as much independence as possible for those who can regain it. Residents' rooms and common areas carry a home-like, family-oriented feeling, but like many facilities, Delmar Nursing and Rehabilitation has had deficiencies in the past, including not always meeting nutrition staffing and food sourcing standards, and some issues with accurate assessment of residents, so families may want to check recent inspection reports.

    The nurse staffing averages about 3.71 hours per resident per day, but the nurse turnover rate sits at 48.3%, so some staff come and go, which is common in the industry. The place is part of Eden Healthcare and operates as a for-profit limited liability company with about 51 to 200 employees. More information is on their website. All in all, the facility's known for its compassion, teamwork, and focus on meeting both simple and complex care needs in a small, accessible setting in Delmar.
