3.9 · 15 reviewsif I could give this place 0 stars I would!! administrator is awful! my mom and I toured this place she was very rude to her staff and only cared about when I would put a deposit down. other residents in the building told my mother they never do activities that are planned and they never get to go out on trips planned. rumors of shutting this place down and I agree it should.. building is outdated and nothing was clean
Darby House was not a bad facility. It was clean and presentable the suites were large with bedrooms and living rooms and kitchenettes. Way more space than my uncle needs. It was old and run down in places but they were remodeling parts as needed and appropriate.
This place is crazy they will never give you a raise and they are more concerned about money than their residents or employees Judy green is the manager and she is more concerned about what dating site she can get on date than worried about the job she is never therefore the employees have to run the place and take care of the residents she also hides hires people that are not certified to pass meds and give insulin the whole place is so messed up and nobody does anything about it the state comes in and then they don't do nothing eitherif you are smart never put your people or your loved ones…

I wouldn’t recommend this place to take care of a houseplant much less my loved one I hear there has been a lot of changes in the past few months and it was NOT FOR THE GOOD my loved one is no longer living there for this reason
My father was diagnosed with dementia and subsequently no longer able to care for himself. Despite my father having some behavioral issues, the Darby House staff treated him with respect, dignity, and a friendly attitude. Additionally, the Darby House was extremely accommodating to me in terms of financial management, organizing his prescriptions, and coordinating his VA benefits. Subsequently, I had to transfer my father to a more secure (lock-down) facility, but I can't recommend Darby House enough because of their quality of care and very competitive pricing.
The staff is wonderful at the Darby House - from the manager to the cleaning crew. There are activities and the residents are very happy there. My Dad was a resident for four years until he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and had to be moved to a nearby nursing home. As my Dad's POA, I had many dealings with the staff, which gets a A+ rating. The rooms are large with big windows to let in lots of light. The location is right off 11E so it's very convenient to everything. You can't beat the facility for the money!
My Dad was in his late 80s when he could no longer drive and needed to find assisted living. He had heard good things about The Darby House so he checked it out and made arrangements to move in right away. He was there four years until 2018 when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and had to move to a nearby nursing home. As my Dad's POA, I had a lot of dealings with the manager and staff at the Darby House. The entire staff is wonderful to work with. They are extremely accommodating, kind and responsive. I cannot say enough good things about the Darby House and highly recommend it for anyone looking for assisted living.
My Dad was 87 years old when he moved into the Darby House after my Mom passed away. He loved living there. He found the staff very friendly and helpful and enjoyed having some independence, although he could no longer drive due to vision problems. My Dad lived at the Darby House for 4 years and had to move after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. I had many dealings with the Darby House manager and staff during my Dad's time there and highly recommend it. The staff is awesome!
