A little more care.
A lot more home.
Personal care. Familiar faces. The comfort of belonging.
A family-run home, with you at its heart.
Small by design. Personal by nature.
More than a place
to stay.
A place to belong.
Choosing a nursing home is a big step.
Feeling at home makes all the difference.
At Darraglynn, we take time to know the person behind the care — their stories, their routines and the little things that make a good day. We’re a family-run home in Douglas, caring for our community since 1986.
With just 26 beds, our home is small enough for familiar faces and personal connections, with professional nursing care around the clock.
