The facility, like all nursing homes/long term care facilities, has a hard time retaining caregivers, as it's a hard job, but despite everything, they've always took care of my girl and the other residents. Recently, the had a change in management, and in my opinion, it was for the better, as Julius, who's been there a while and Snr. nurse, has been busy correcting and improving some things that the previous manager neglected, but at no time, did the level of care drop. I would highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for a place for a loved one with Alzheimer's or dementia to live.

They did not care for my father. They pretty much left him in his room to rot. The food is almost an edible as I had to order him DoorDash, at least five times a week, hire outside care to come in for 10 hours a week because he was just not getting any attention. The head nurse Angie blames her staff for all of her inadequacies, and David the director does not listen to criticism or make any sort of changes. I would not let my father stay here if it was completely free.

They cram patients into tiny rooms with 2 to 3 people sharing the space and if you want a private room, be prepared to pay $300 a day! But, don't expect to be able to have any creature comforts. They are not allowed! You can't use your own walker or wheelchair either. If they find one for you it will be mostly broken. My recommendation? Find a safer, better run facility that is staffed with people who actually care about their patients.

Suddenly having a loved one need full-time care plunges you into a world where you're a novice,…read morelearning for the first time of all the choices, providers, payers, complications, pitfalls, and confusion of growing old in America. There is no handbook. It's little bits of knowledge you glean from friends, other people in a doctor's waiting room, caregivers, online searches, and AARP magazine. You piece together a plan: not knowing what all is available to you, what to avoid, what's a waste of time, what's going to be the best random choice you'll make, or what is going to happen next in terms of health decline or improvement. You make the best decisions you can, based on basically no knowledge/experience in a chaotic, complicated environment. Choosing Delmar for my mother was the best decision we made - luckily, fortunately, unknowingly. It comes down to, "What will her daily life be like? How will she be cared for, when I can't be there?" No online views of attractive facilities or happy residents can tell you that. It's a leap of faith, entrusting your parent to strangers. So I'm going to use this space to answer the kind of questions *we* had - in terms of what we found *at Delmar* , not the other nearby Smyrna/Atlanta places. For those, I can't help you - knowing teveryone gives the same standard info online, on the phone, in person. Every day I visit my mother, so I think I have a good handle on how they perform. **What care can she get?** This is a little complicated. Because I actually didn't know what kind of care she needed. Or how to determine that. I just knew that she could not live with us and he longer; her daily level of need was too great for me to manage. I was struggling to keep her showered, dressed, fed, taken to doctors, care with medicines & for wounds, much less entertained, loved, and cognizant of what's going on. A full-time job it had become. Even when I'd hire a "sitter" once in a while, I was using that free time to sleep or rest. Delmar helped me understand that they could do the care parts, so I could spend my time with her in other ways. She went into Assisted Living. (I had been so afraid she'd need Nursing Home care - which is a big jump from living on the same farm for 86 years, to basically a room. Though that's what she had, at our house for the past 6 months.) It was A LOT of "assisted" - and has grown to be a lot more, in the past 3 years. They did all the things I had been doing for her. She was still quite ambulatory, but had macular degeneration so her sight was about nil, and was very hard of hearing, so even with aids in, required yelling and patience. They offered MUCH assistance that we did not need. (But have since then needed): - Giving medicines - Getting her to the dining room for meals - Introduce her to other residents - Take her downstairs (for events, beauty shop, appointments) and take her back up - Do her personal laundry and also linens - Explain what is going on - Clean her apartment Eventually: - Give showers - Make her bed - Help her find clothes/dress - Remind her of dentures & hearing aids - Change diapers/help her remember - Walk her to bathroom in the middle of the night - Bring meals / snacks to her room And more. WITH A LOVING ATTITUDE, too. My mother is frustrating. But I've never seen a CNA or dining worker or maintenance person treat her with anything but kindness. Sure, there's the fact that I'm THERE and it could be otherwise when I'm not. But TRUST my mother would tell me! **How can I know things?" Delmar has been INCREDIBLY helpful in sharing what is available, outside of their own care - both free services and paid. They turned me on to how to get VA benefits, which halved her rent for us. Plus Medicare-covered podiatry services and flu shots. (Eventually, Covid.) And HOME HEALTH services to augment what Delmar does. Like, bringing in physical therapy, counseling talk-therapy, nursing visits. **Can we afford it?** It seemed SO expensive to us. But the other, less-great places around Atlanta were expensive, too. We didn't know how we'd swing it. But we DID know she couldn't live alone, nor could she live with us and get the care she needs. CONTINUED at https://mydelmaryelpreview.blogspot.com
