We are so grateful to the entire team at The Delaney at the Vale for making our family’s transition to assisted living so easy and comfortable. From our very first tour with Jackie, Director of Sales, to move-in day, the quality, kindness, and professionalism of the staff have been exceptional.<br><br>Everyone has gone above and beyond to help, and Erin, the Move-In Coordinator, never seems to say “no” to a request. The nursing staff and the dining staff is amazing too. Collectively, their genuine care, responsiveness, and willingness to help have given our entire family tremendous peace of mind. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose The Delaney and feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this wonderful community!

After an emergency operation, I had lost mobility and ended up in a terrible rehab facility recommended by my hospital. My move to Delaney after reaching out for information proved to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.<br><br>The people/staff, environment, and food were top quality. There were a wide range of activities and I was able do my physical therapy in both classes and individually.<br><br>The facility is almost brand new so it is clean and the rooms are beautiful and there is in house cleaning service at least once a week.<br><br>My husband passed away during my stay and the support and care from the entire team was heartfelt and meant so much to me.<br><br>I am moving back to my home and I am grateful for everything the Delaney team did for me. There is a wide range of quality and service for people like me and I give the Delaney my highest recommendation.

My mother moved into the memory care more than a year ago. It was an extremely rocky start, in part due to her disease and in part due to staffing: the aides were not well managed and the memory care director role was vacant for many months. There was little engagement of residents and it was very depressing. Things have started to improve meaningfully since Ann Cardenas arrived. She is a breath of fresh air and gives her energy freely to residents and families. There’s a full calendar of engagement, something for everyone, and her presence is always felt. The activities and engagement for the residents have dramatically improved as has the responsiveness to our feedback. Ann is always the first to reach out with a phone call and respond to feedback even if it’s not her direct responsibility. Her care and intention are highly appreciated and she’s an invaluable asset to the community. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ann for making a difference!

My father has been living here for the past 6 months in MC. The director there and her staff have been phenomenal. The assisting staff across the board have made both of us feel welcome and safe. Thank you to Ann, Kristi and the rest of the team!
