The nurse in both A&B are down to earth and will listen to your problems<br>The assistant director always makes time for you to say hi or hear your concerns<br>The activity director has a lot of crafts to do and his assistant picks the slack when he's gone

I cannot say enough about the professioalism and the care my Uncle received from the very first day that he went to Darlington!! From Melissa(the director), the owner all the way down to the CNA's. The look, furniture, cleanliness, food was exemplary and I know this because I have dealt with over 12 different nursing homes and not one has the same standards!! Please if you need a place for a loved one, do not overlook Darlington Memory Care!!
