OUR PERSONAL STORY
Helping the elderly and disabled has long run in our family. In the 1970’s our grandmother (Marie Kreeger) opened up her own home to take care people with mental health issues. During the 1980’s she saw a great need to give the elderly in our society care. As she explained it, “With the increase in population and advances in medicine there is a need like never before to provide long-term care to our seniors.” She would later own and operate what is today called “The Delaney Home” out of Pittsville, Wisconsin. In the late 1980’s Marie and her family would build a home on Pepper Avenue in Wisconsin Rapids which was built especially for the purpose of caring for elderly. It was passed down one generation to my mother (Valerie Delaney) and named “Delaney’s Elder Care”. In October of 2000 Valerie purchased a separate home and started what is today called “Best Place to be” to continue to care for the elderly in our society, but also to help those with mental and physical disabilities.
The Delaney Home in Pittsville was owned and operated for many years by Brian and Dawn Delaney and has been owned and operated for the last ten years by Timothy and Melissa Delaney.
The Wisconsin Rapids home known as “Delaney’s Elder Care” was sold, but still operates as a facility to help people.
Best Place to Be, Inc. was administered by Brian and Dawn Delaney for many years. Their knowledge, love and care has help make Best Place to Be, Inc. the top-notch facility it is today. Best Place to Be, Inc. is now owned and operated by Patrick and Kara Delaney. In 2017 Best Place to Be, Inc. expanded to a new home in Plover, Wisconsin. 2018 We added one more home to Wisconsin Rapids. In 2020 we added one more home to Wisconsin Rapids. In 2022 we added another home to Wisconsin Rapids. We look forward to serving you and your loved ones as we continue the long tradition of caring.
