Disappointed and Deeply Concerned…read more Darcy Hall Nursing Home claims to care for our loved ones as if they were family--but sadly, that has not been my experience. While this promise sounds reassuring, the reality is far from it. Many of the aides appear frustrated or even annoyed when asked to assist with basic care needs, such as taking a resident to the bathroom or changing a soiled diaper. The looks they give--cold, dismissive, and irritated--make you feel like you're an inconvenience for simply advocating for your loved one. What's even more disheartening is witnessing these same staff members frequently on their phones, chatting away, seemingly prioritizing personal conversations over their professional responsibilities. This is not just unprofessional--it's unacceptable in a facility that should be focused on the well-being and dignity of its residents. Darcy Hall needs to seriously reconsider its hiring practices. Working in elder care is not just a job--it's a calling that requires compassion, patience, and a genuine heart for service. Sadly, it seems that too many of the current aides and nurses are simply there for a paycheck, with little to no investment in the people they are supposed to be caring for. Our loved ones deserve so much better. Darcy Hall can and must do better. One star is not even what they deserve but without selecting one I can't post my review.

I placed my trust in Darcy Hall and it was the worse decision I ever made. I placed my mother at…read moreDarcy from Sept. 2018-Jan. 2019.This facility is a horror show. Darcy is strictly about money only!!! They could care less about providing quality service. If you have loved ones who are in need of rehabilitation or medical care this is NOT the place for them. I'm sorry I had to give this place a 1 star rating. It should be a negative star. When my mother came to this facility she was able to walk with the assistance of a walker and a cane in September, by mid October she was bed ridden and I never saw my mother walk again. When I took her out of Darcy in January 2019, she was still bed ridden and had begun to develop bed sores due to neglect, dehydration, and malnourishment. I asked on several occasions could they please feed her intravenously, which fell on deaf ears and instead they placed her on a soft food puree diet that did nothing at all, mind you my mother was not a cancer or diabetic patient yet she was losing weight rapidly. When my mother arrived at Darcy she had a private room for about a month and I was paying out of pocket costs for her care.The minute I informed the facility of my intention to apply for medicaid because of the high costs. It was like a major party celebration on New Year's Eve!! They told me welcome to the Darcy Hall family, that's when the party really started.They immediately transferred my mother from a private room and squeezed her into a medicaid pending room that was shared with 2 other persons. Never informing me of this change. My mother's bed and the other person's bed was separated by only a draw curtain. For the most part they just let her lay there in the bed never even moving her from her bed to a wheel chair only once. I had set up a small account for her to buy personal items which Darcy depleted by stating she owed them money at the time I was about to apply for medicaid.The room was definitely too small for 3 persons. I visited my mother on several occasions along with my family and there was no place for us to sit or visit, and if the other patients had visitors you really couldn't sit in there. If your love ones need medications the Darcy staff do not make proper notifications to let you know of the changes.They charge you for everything.The prices are exorbitant and that is just for room and board not including (medications). PLEASE!! if you love your love ones DO NOT PLACE THEM IN DARCY!!! Also read the fine print of your rights. The only matter of concern at Darcy is all about Money Only!! But definitely not about the patient's care. Eventually I had seen and had enough my mother's health was declining rapidly so I took her out of Darcy and brought her home. Darcy's only concern was how I was going to pay them for my mother's care during her stay at their facility. I informed them that upon her release I would pay them in full. Which I did without medicaid assistance, even after paying Darcy I was still receiving bills where I had to complain and show the staff that I didn't owe them nothing. From my experience I would NEVER!!! recommend Darcy Hall to anybody. Do your research and find a better care place for your loved ones. Also pay close attention to the reviews before making a choice. CHOICES DO MATTER!!! Upon reading this negative review Darcy will probably respond to this review via email with the usual give them a call so that they can address this issue.They don't even give you a person to speak to, just the general number. But when contacting them, nothing ever changes. Giving God the praise my mother is no longer at Darcy and my mother's medical bills at Darcy is paid in full so no need for any further dialogue via email, or phone.Thank you Darcy Hall for FAILING my trust and instead providing poor, and inadequate, services to my loved one. Recommendations: 1) Check on your love ones daily. 2) Listen to your love one's complaints. 3)Take pictures of your loved one's body and appearance if possible. Your love one's need your protection too.

Got everything ready and even went down there but she was not discharged. When I questioned her , she just lied and said she never told us that.

The Nurse on duty,(or whoever she was) was not wearing any type of identification, no name tag, nothing. Whenever shift change was the nurse never came in to introduce herself. 2. Nurse left the meds on the tray top didn't bother to wait until he took his medication- just dropped them off and left. 3. The bed was never made or straightened. If it weren't for me coming everyday and straightening his bed, it would never be done. I know that because my uncle gets out of bed in the morning and sits in his chair. He is sharp as a tack, and said I spoiled them because I would straighten his bed while I was there. 4.According to the website for WESTGATE, it boasts of 'fine dining'. Every food tray that came to the room was cold and not appealing. Cold Eggs in the morning floating in grease from the sausage. Spaghetti in tomato sauce: COLD, 2 fish sticks on a bun and 4 'tater tots': COLD. you get the point. 5. My uncle is a diabetic. He received his dinner tray today after 7pm. And again it was COLD. Thankfully we bought some food with us for him. When asked why they received dinner so late, the nurse said "she didn't get the chance to ask the kitchen because she was busy". So, when you observe that at 6pm the dinner trays have not arrived, you don't call the kitchen? what exactly IS going on in this facility? Please dont send your loved one here!

This is the burial site of the unidentified African Americans who perished during the hurricane of…read more1928 in West Palm Beach. In 1913 Palm Beach set aside land for three pauper cemeteries of which this was one. In 1928 the category 4 Okeechobee hurricane killed 2,500 people, the majority were people of color who were migrant farm workers around the lake. The hurricane caused the five foot dike around Lake Okeechobee break flood causing many people to drown. A thousand white people who died were given a mass burial at Woodlawn cemetery while the African Americans were either burned or placed into mass graves. This site was one of the places to receive a mass burial. It is thought 674 bodies lie here. Time went on and the burial was largely forgotten since no memorial was ever placed to mark it. In 1950 road work on 25th street unearthed some bodies but there was still no urgency to do anything about it. The land changed hands several times until it was purchased by Bernard Kolkana who wanted to build a warehouse on the property. No one knew about the bodies until the Sankofa Society with a Yoruba leader did a blessing on the property. The idea to do something to honor the hurricane victims gained traction when Robert Hazard established non-profit organization to try to acquire the land in order to put up a memorial and possibly some sort of museum. In 2000 a Miami company was hired to do ground penetrating radar to determine where the bodies were. They discovered that they were in two layers in a 70 by 30 foot trench. The city decided to use eminent domain to take the land back from Kolkana who refused to sell it to them. At first they were only going to give him the $1,000 assessed value but then they eventually decided to pay him $180,000. Finally a memorial was constructed. On September 12, 2002 the burial site was designated a US National Registered Historic Place. On the 75th anniversary of the hurricane in 2003 the city added a historical marker. The hurricane was dramatized in Nora Neale Hurston's most famous work Their Eyes Were Watching God. On my visit the memorial was very peaceful and deserted except for two gentleman who were sitting on lawn chairs by the arbor. The grave is enclosed by a fence and it has stone markers bearing the date 1928. Even though the hurricane was the second deadliest hurricane in the United States behind Galveston Texas it has largely been forgotten as has it's victims. The pioneers who built Florida deserve to be remembered and the city taking control of the memorial is a step in the right direction.
