Delmar Villa Assisted Living sits in a quiet Delmar, Maryland neighborhood, providing care for seniors in a small, home-like setting with just 16 beds. The place recognizes that seniors have many different needs, so it offers assisted living, memory care, long-term skilled nursing, hospice, respite care, home health care, and non-medical home care. Residents can age in place under the "Age in Place Model," meaning they don't have to move to a nursing home as their needs change, even if they need hospice or intense medical care. There's a very low staff-to-resident ratio of 1:8, and a registered nurse stays on site at all times to make sure residents get the attention they need. The staff are known for being experienced, friendly, and attentive, with many positive reviews.
The 16-bed assisted living unit has a mix of oversized rooms, private bathrooms, private and semi-private setups, one-bedroom apartments, and two-room suites. Residents can bring their own furnishings and make their space feel like home, or use the furnished options which include flat screen TVs. The rooms and bathrooms are wheelchair accessible, and showers are easy to get to for everyone. Meals are cooked on-site, using home-cooked methods, and there are daily menu choices. Residents eat together in a kitchen that feels familiar and comfortable. There's free housekeeping, laundry, and cable TV, and the facility doesn't use hidden charges for extra care.
Delmar Villa Assisted Living has a special focus for Alzheimer's and dementia care through Delmar Manor, their dedicated memory care unit that's both secure and wander-free, designed to make seniors with memory loss feel safe. The staff run structured programs for memory enhancement, socialization, and daily stimulation, and there's a schedule full of educational and fun activities, including a home movie theater, exercise classes, games, music, off-site trips, and special family events. Residents are encouraged to get involved and build friendships, whether they join group outings or enjoy time with their pets, since cats are allowed.
Healthcare on site includes medication management, diabetic care, PT, OT, speech therapy, X-ray services, high acuity care, incontinence care, and non-ambulatory care. A nurse monitors each resident's changing needs and adapts their care as required. Delmar Villa Assisted Living helps residents get financial help, including VA and local benefits. Short-term stays or respite care are available for those who need it.
Transportation for appointments, errands, and group activities is provided, and the property offers resident and guest parking. There's also a salon, beauty, and barber shop for residents. The facility stays close to local shopping, restaurants, hospitals, physicians, and rehabilitation centers, helping residents remain part of the broader community. Everything about the place seems designed to give seniors a tranquil environment that's comfortable, social, and supportive, while keeping care simple and personal at every step.
