Who Are We?
We are a small unique tight knit senior living community that can house up to 35 residents. We can benefit with assistants with household chores and daily living activities. We help our residents maintain their highest level of independence.
We do our best to create an environment that is supportive and nurturing. One that provides the best possible care and best quality of life with the highest level of independence all while keeping comfort in mind.
We strive to bring a community of people together who will take the best possible care of our residents, keeping in mind that this is our workplace but it is their home.
We encourage our staff to build relationships with our residents. It’s not uncommon to see the Executive Director serving coffee or meals, for the cook to come out after they have finished serving a meal and check on the food or sit down and joke with residents. You will be asked about your family and interests by all levels of staff. There is a lot of relationship building that happens here between the staff and residents.
We want to know you, build a relationship with you, and meet all your emotional, spiritual, and physical needs.
Testimonials
"My mother has been a resident at Derby Assisted Living since May, 2012. She loves her handicapped apartment as it meets her needs perfectly. The whole facility is beautifully decorated and even has safe rooms! A few of the activities mother enjoys are exercise time, Bible study, meals with friends, and the special musicians who come to sing. We appreciate the kindness and caring of the staff. Derby Assisted Living is a wonderful new addition to our community!"

Mom lived here for under a year and she enjoyed and treasured every moment. She said it was the best choice she had made and was so glad she made it. The staff and residents were caring, thoughtful, happy and supportive; not only to Mom, but to us, her family, as well. She counted everyone there as part of her family and loved them all.
- Linda, Daughter
I moved into Derby Assisted living as I needed some extra assistance with medical issues. The whole staff and residents are friendly and helpful. Meals are delicious with a variety of foods. I am on dialysis and need to have a meal served early – the cook has met my need. It is much appreciated. It is a wonderful place to live.
- Eileen, Resident
The Avita staff is very caring and always gives 110%. I am very comfortable that my mother is in good hands when I can not be there to help her.
