My mother was released from delray medical center following emergency abdominal surgery at 89 years old. Initially we had some issues coordinating correct hardware but throughout my mother's stay of several weeks we found the nurses, caregivers and all help to be excellent. When you enter a room where your mother is being cared for and see a caregiver combing her hair and kissing her cheek...well I cant thank abbey Delray South enough. Beverly, Wesley, Delva, Athena, 6Belinda, Jean, Carmel especially!!!! All angels for the tough job they have, food could better though. First Rate facility AAA from security to wait staff...THANK YOU AGAIN ALL!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼God bless you all. Mitchell Cornacchia

My Mom had a very positive experience with the caring staff at Abbey Delray South. The nursing staff is knowledgeable and kind, the aides strive to be gentle and friendly and the doctor (Dr. Exuma) is excellent. Physical therapy staff was awesome too - they went above and beyond to get my Mom back on her feet again. Thanks again and we will miss seeing your friendly faces everyday. 🙏💓 BTW, there is a beauty salon on-site and the girls were top notch. It was a nice added plus.

I’ve been at Abbey DELRAY South for nearly 8 years and love it! One of the best decisions of my life to move here. The people are friendly, interesting and well-travelled, the grounds are beautiful and there are more stimulating and satisfying things to do than one can ever do! I especially love the fitness, duplicate bridge and theater and concert trips!!
