I can't say enough good things about this living facility. My mother is approaching her 5th anniversary at Derby Assisted Living .The experience has been fantastic. The staff works as a team to care for each individual depending on their needs. They offer numerous activities for their residents from games, music, & daily exercise. They even have monthly planned outings. The nursing staff monitors each individuals needs and takes a personal interest in the comfort of every resident. The kitchen staff provides nutritious meals that meet each individuals dietary needs. I feel comfortable knowing
