Digby Place

We're hoping to move mom into Digby Place this November. It was very nice. I like that everything is on one level. It's all in a big square, so if my mom who has slight dementia gets turned around, then she's always gonna find her way back. We're gonna be allowed to kind of decorate her door space to make it easier for her to recognize her room. One of her big fears was that she wouldn't be able to find it, but they told us we could do whatever we wanted to her door and the space around her door, so that will make it a little easier for her. The staff was very nice. Everybody we met was very nice and very personable and I'm entrusting my mom to them. I was very pleased. It looked very clean to me. There's a nice inner courtyard and the room we're gonna have for my mom will be facing that courtyard, so she'll have a nice view. We'll put up a bird feeder outside her window, which she'll like.

I like that Digby Place was a smaller community, and the residents would get more attentive care. The one thing I don't like is the fact that everybody has to sit 6 feet away by themselves; one person per table. The staff during the tour was very helpful and very informative. They have a salon, courtyard, small library, and small living room or gathering place. It was definitely clean.

My mother is at Digby Place. It's a smaller community, which I like. I think the max is just slightly under fifty residents, so there are a lot of one-on-one interactions. The staff there is very professional. I've been in business for over forty years, and I think I'm a pretty good judge of character, especially when somebody enjoys their job. It seems like they all enjoy what they're doing, and they want to make every every resident feel a part of the place. I have not had an opportunity to try the food yet, but I know my mother has been very pleased with it. It's an older facility, but it's in very good shape. They just got a new director, and she seems to be very good. They're just starting to open up, too, so it's kind of hard to give you an accurate judgment at this time. From all the research that I did, they do a really good job for the money.

We toured Digby Place. It was really nice. It was a nice, clean place. The staff was very nice, answered all our questions, and did a good job. It looks very nice. We've seen the cafeteria, the individual rooms, and the courtyard.

My father moved into Digby Place. We chose it because it's smaller in size, so it's a better environment for him, and we really liked the staff. It's just one facility, and it's an aging-in-place facility. I have had no complaints whatsoever. They are very helpful, very informative, and very friendly. They knew all the questions to ask about my dad, and when we moved him in, all the staff was there, they all introduced themselves, down to the kitchen staff. It's just a really nice place. So far, they have gone above and beyond to make him comfortable and welcome. It's just been a very good experience so far. He has not had one complaint other than he likes to eat breakfast super, super early in the morning. He likes to eat before the sun comes up, but as far as quantity and quality, he is happy with the food. The facility is very well kept and very up-to-date.

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.

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.
