My review of Darlington Memory Lane
This community is very clean and the caregivers at this community are excellent. The cost every month is extremely good and fits for us well. the only thing is that I have had some issues with getting a prompt response from administration. The tour experience was quick and unorganized, also signing my loved one up was very unorganized and did not feel one on one. They had three people coming in at the same time and I was feeling out paperwork on my lap. Just not very happy with the administrative staff and not able to contact them. They also do not send me statements in regards to the monthly billing and it has been requested to make things easier but my loved one likes it here and whenever I go she is happy and good.

dark and smelly
The smell of urine almost knocked me over as soon as I walked through the door. And it only got worse from there... What a sad, dark, and dismal place for any human to live in. The rooms are tiny and there is no place to get any sun or joy. This place should be closed down. It's very prison-like. The "inmates" are limited to one small area with no creative activities. The staff was ok - but I did not spend enough time to know about the care. All I know is that if they work at DML, then they are compliant in the miserable conditions I witnessed. Why hasn't the state of RI stepped in?

Community Tour
Darlington Memory Lane had higher functioning residents with dementia than other places that we looked at. But I didn't like the facility. I didn't like that they had a completely separate unit they literally called the medical unit, knowing that the segregation was due to a financial piece. It was a tight little wing, compared to the larger more spaced out areas for the rest of the residents. Their activities seemed very engaging though, which is something my loved one would have liked.

My wife' brother and my brother-in-law was a four your president of Darlington. During his stay we were very pleased with the care and attention given him. The staff was attentive and always there to take care of his needs and comfort. We could always call to see how [name removed] was doing and were welcome visitors. It was not always easy for the staff in his care and they were respectful and respectful of him.. We are grateful for the care and attention given Michael and thank the administration and staff.

missed significant signs of decline
My mother was admitted in [date removed], and she was a physically healthy individual (with dementia). She was an active walker and would likely be classified as restless and a pacer.
By April of the same year, she stopped eating and drinking and lost significant weight. We were unable to visit because of COVID. The staff took no action until she became non-responsive. She was then sent to hospital and 10 days later died. Quality of care sucked with pandemic. Shame on them.

there are two buildings. pick the right one.
Look CLOSELY at this facility. There are 2 very distinct facilities at Darlington Memory Lane, and they only advertise the better one. If you start out private pay and run out of money, then you move to the Medicaid building. The private pay (1081 R Mineral Spring Ave) location is gorgeous. They have researched best practice for dementia patients and decorated the building to reflect this. I can't speak to the care at that building, but the residents are always clean, well dressed, hair done, and looking their best.
My parent is at the 1073 Mineral Spring location (the Medicaid funded building). There is no full time activities coordinator because this person spends her time at the private pay building. The residents appear unkempt most days with wild bed head and unshaven men. The residents are kept in one common room just watching tv all day. The occasional activities consist only of BINGO games, and maybe a trivia session. 90% of the photos of parties, etc on their Facebook page are of the private pay residence.
It breaks my heart that there is such a distinct difference between the wealthy and the poor. :( The staff in the Medicaid building are all very nice, but its obvious that while they may have CNA certifications, they are not well educated in working with dementia and Alzheimer's patients. They definitely do not go above and beyond for their residents.

They were very helpful in helping with the transition of our family member. All of the staff was nice and asked more about their newest resident so they could help with the transition with them. I love that there are not set visiting hours and we are welcome at any time any day showing us that there is nothing to hide when it comes to the care of each residents and environment. I love how it feels like home, not a hospital.

I'm very happy with it, her health has improved since she's been there. I'm really pleased. Some of the residents can get a little antsy, and that can be a bit overwhelming. The foods not fancy, but it's appropriate for her appetite. It didn't smell when I first walked in and that is one of the things that pushed me over the edge, the overall ambiance, the staff is incredible. The administration bends over backwards to make us happy. I don't think they have a big Jewish population, but they have a lot of Catholic events. It would be nice to have a rabbi come in and talk or have something for the Jewish residents

They are by far one of the best communities of the seven or eight we looked at. I think it's a great facility. I think they're a pretty good value. There aren't any problems with the food. There really isn't anything that I can think of that needs to be improved or done better.
