Digby Place

I live in Digby Place. It has been good, but for weekend or holiday time, they hire agency people that don't know the residents and they don't know what to do, so you have to tell them. I spent my whole life telling people what to do because I was a nurse for 40 years, and I tell them, 'this needs to be done, and that needs to be done,' and they were to me like, 'What?' Their regular aides that they have here are very good, so I can't complain about that. The food has been good. They've had a couple of days where something was cold but, you know, when you gotta lot of people to take care of, I understand that. But the food is good and the nurses are excellent, so I can't say anything about that. As I said, the regular people that work here are very nice. They're very efficient. When you turn your light on, it's only just a few minutes and they're there. Food is good. It's not like you have it at home but it is good food. It's got good flavor, good taste, it's good. I would give the facility a 5 because the setting is quiet. You see cars going by, you see people walking but it's quiet. I don't know about activities because when you come here, the first 10 days you're here, you have to stay in your room because of this COVID.

My stepfather is in Digby Place. Everything has been perfect so far. He's adjusting real well. They clean their apartments, they do the laundry for them, and they cook them three meals a day. They have activities of all sorts every day, they have church services, outings, and transportation to doctors' appointments. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. It's a fairly small facility, and it's all on one floor.

I have lived at Digby Place over 2 years now, and have made great friends with many of the residents here. There are nurses on duty if I need help, and everyone on staff is very helpful and caring no matter what I might need. We keep busy with a variety of activities each day, and go on outings to the store or out to lunch. When I broke my leg, I had to have surgery and go out for rehabilitative therapy. Multiple staff members came to visit me regularly, but I could not wait to get back home to Digby Place. It is truly a homelike community, and I am happy to be here.

My Mom lived at Digby Place for over eight years, and we had nothing but a good experience. She had Alzheimer's and always felt like she was home. The employees have always made everyone feel like Family and I have always felt at home myself.
