Delmar Gardens West sits at 13550 S Outer Forty Rd in Chesterfield, Missouri, right in a quiet neighborhood, and folks know it as a place for many different kinds of senior care, so you can find skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, memory care for seniors living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and some home care services too, and while it's often listed as a nursing home, you'll also see independent and assisted living apartments, including help with daily needs like getting dressed or bathing, which is good if someone's care needs change down the line because it means there's a whole range of services under one roof and moving again isn't always needed, and there's even daycare options if someone needs a break or just short-term help.
There's staff on site all hours of the day and night-the nursing team provides 24-hour care and the Medical Director is on call if something happens-plus licensed therapy for physical, speech, and occupational needs, and folks can get wound care, diabetic care, help with mobility, and pharmacy services all without leaving the building, and because Delmar Gardens West covers things like laundry, housekeeping, and meals (usually one or two a day for those in independent or assisted living), there's less for residents to worry about, and there's plenty of space inside for social and religious activities, including big activity rooms, social events, a beauty salon, and flat-screen TVs with cable.
Parking's easy and visits are comfortable since the campus is wheelchair accessible, there's air conditioning, and guests can use credit cards; people can also bring pets-both cats and dogs are welcome-so there's flexibility for families, and for those who need to get out, transportation is available, plus religious services and offsite trips are planned sometimes. The facility offers semi-private and private rooms with some nice furnishings and grab bars in the bathrooms to help with safety, and there's an emergency call system if someone needs help fast.
Reviews can be mixed-Delmar Gardens West holds a 2.5 rating from about 35 reviews, so folks looking should keep that in mind. The place gets attention from health agencies, it's associated with the Missouri Health Care Association and connects to programs at WashU Medicine through the Division of Nutritional Science & Obesity Medicine. There's resource guides for long-term care, insurance, and caregiving, and the facility works with sponsors and partners to provide services. They run CNA and CMT / Insulin training along with online education, which helps keep staffing trained and up on quality assurance, so staff members know what they're doing and follow regulations, and the care finder tool might help families figure out what care fits best for their loved ones.
Home care services from Delmar Gardens Private Duty extend attention beyond the main building, with things like medical supplies, hospice, palliative care, and private duty assistance in client homes; meanwhile, there's also a dedicated early childhood education center on the campus, a bit unique for a senior living place, and onsite health, pharmacy, and wound management round things out as options for folks there. All in all, Delmar Gardens West offers a long list of care styles in one location, with basic comforts like meals, activities, accessible rooms, and healthcare, but like with any facility, it's wise for families to visit, ask questions, and decide what fits the person needing care best.
