The Delaney is a very nice facility. The food is very good according to my mother-in-law. We have had to report a water leak and fraying carpet, but overall things are going well.

Phenomenal Place for your loved ones.

They are excellent in everything. Director for the Dementia/Alzheimer's which is [name removed] she is amazing! She is a 10 plus! She is doing a fantastic job with her residents! Plus they keep their residents busy and they are very caring and loving toward them. They are the only facility out of 5 different ones that I had my mother in that takes their Dementia/Alzheimer's out in a bus once a week to do something different. They have 3 choices on meals and know one does that with their residents that have Dementia/Alzheimer's! Their pricing is very low compared to other facilities that offer so much less. The place is bright, airy and super clean and not once did I smell a urine odor. Other places out of 5 different ones I did and these places were higher priced and offered so little to their residents. I wish I would have known about Delaney when my dad was a live, he would have loved it there.

Review for The Delaney at Lake Waco

1. The overall experience has been good 2. The facility is very clean 3. Most of the staff is wonderful 4. Mom get great care 5. The admin staff are good as far as I know. Once she moved in we don't really see them much 6. I feel we were mislead on food. They assured us the had gluten free but from some issues mom has had it's not truly gluten free. Ex: the bread may be gluten free but when it's warmed or toasted with other bread it is no longer gluten free - it is contaminated for someone with gluten issues. Another thing is the good was exceptional in the beginning but not always edible now. Another time they had chicken salad sandwich. Mom asked for the chicken salad without bread and was told she could have a sandwich or nothing. I hear others complaining now too so it's not just us. 7. Mom has been ill and hasn't participated in many activities but they do have something all the time. 8. Money value - not as good now that we are having to buy food.

Review for The Delaney at Lake Waco

My personal observations are that the staff doesn't communicate well as to the needs of some of the patients. My wife used hearing aids and the medical staff didn't know she needed help putting them in and taking them out. When I first brought them in they were stored in a medical room. I had to tell the person in charge of the wing where they were being stored and no one got them to her. [name removed]suffered a fall and had to be hospitalized. She got 6 stitches on the side of her head. No one knows why she fell and the hospital only treated her injury without looking into the cause. Two days later the nurse at Delaney said she wasn't doing well and sent her back to the hospital. She was seen in the emergency department and later transferred to the ICU. I was told she was transferred and she wasn't doing good. I got there and was told she was going downhill. An hour later the nurse came in and told me her tests came back and they didn't think she would make it through the night. She died within a couple of hours. Someone dropped the ball and I don't know if it was the nurse at Delaney or the hospital. Overall not a positive experience. [name removed] lasted four weeks after placing her in Delaney. I'm not trying to point a finger at anyone. It just wasn't a good experience overall.

very accommodating staff

The staff is very accommodating to Mom's needs. Nurses have been great and the Physician's assistant and doctor who come to the location have been wonderful to work with. Overall good communication from the nurses/medical staff. Annual cost increase was not unreasonable, actually less than I expected. We feel Mom is safe and well cared for. And the rooms and common areas are very nice.

Best in the area

The facility/staff are amazing. They treat each resident like they are the only one that matters. They know everyone by name and get to know family too. My mom has a studio apartment and it is perfect for her!

We would absolutely recommend The Delaney to anyone. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate and make my Mother and our whole family feel welcome and safe. When we tell people where Mom is, everyone has heard of The Delaney, and what a great place it is.

Peace of Mind

5 stars on all, we have been very pleased. I would want others to know just how caring, friendly and informative all of the staff here are. The room sizes are just fine, they have both individual and shared rooms in memory care. I would recommend The Delaney at Lake Waco, my sister and I love the place and always know that mom is well taken care of.

Happy with our choice

If you have a question or concern they are very efficient. They are great at getting back to you immediately and you do not have to wait days to get an answer. I have been here many times during dinner and the food looks amazing, it was a lot better than I expected. The rooms are private and the they are a good size, the bathrooms are large as well and wheelchair accessible. I would most definitely recommend to others looking, they have a great memory care program.
