Delmar Gardens

What Delmar Gardens does

Delmar Gardens Enterprises is a privately held, family-owned senior care operator founded in 1965 in University City, Missouri, and currently headquartered in Chesterfield, MO. The company runs 27 facilities across five US states (Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Nebraska), delivering a full continuum of senior living and clinical services: independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, respite care, home healthcare, private duty care, hospice and palliative care, wound and foot care, and an on-site intergenerational Early Childhood Education Center. Service delivery is facility-based with admissions seven days a week, supported by physician, spiritual-leader, and healthcare-professional referral channels.

The business model is multi-revenue-stream and largely recurring. Core revenue comes from monthly all-inclusive resident fees (with no entrance or community fees for assisted living) plus per-diem skilled nursing and rehabilitation billing, accepted across Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. Vertically integrated wholly-owned subsidiaries add non-residential revenue lines: Corum Health Services operates a captive pharmacy with twice-daily medication delivery and on-site compounding; MedResources provides home medical equipment; Pathways Hospice and Palliative Care delivers end-of-life services; Specialized Wound Management provides clinical wound care. Distribution is direct-to-consumer across facilities, with no third-party reseller or franchise layer. Marketing is sales-led, combining digital presence (website, social, blog, newsletter) with reputation-driven physician/community referrals, resident testimonials, and chamber-of-commerce partnerships.

The technology base is conventional healthcare operations tooling: an admissions/website platform, online scheduling, email marketing, and a Paylocity recruiting system; no proprietary software, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. Differentiation rests on the integrated continuum, the 50+ year brand, the 2025 CAHPS Honors Award (Pathways Hospice), the unique intergenerational daycare concept, and the Ready-Set-Go Home! transitional rehabilitation program, rather than on technology. Ownership remains with the founding Grossberg and Goldberg families, with no PE/VC or institutional investment indicated.
