Private Gardens

At Darcy House, our beautiful private gardens have stunning views of a wooded valley and green fields which lead beyond to the River Derwent and Riber Castle. We have a variety of green areas, patios, paths and raised flowerbeds for our residents to enjoy whenever they wish.

During the summer months, our residents are also invited to enjoy al fresco dining or afternoon tea with their loved ones in the sun. It is the perfect area for our in-house events too, as it is a large area where we can embrace our community at Darcy House.

Outdoor Activities

Our private gardens offer the perfect outdoor space for our residents to safely enjoy the beauties of nature and engage in gardening activities, from potting new plants to tending to those already in bloom. These activities provide an excellent opportunity to connect with like-minded residents and foster a sense of independence and responsibility. We have witnessed the positive impact of gardening and outdoor activities on our residents and their overall well-being.

Because of this, we also host regular events and invite entertainers into the home when the weather permits. We use our arts and crafts sessions to decorate the home and show off resident creativity to their loved ones and any visitors. Our residents are our top priority in the Darcy House family and we go above and beyond to ensure they have everything they need within our private gardens.

A Safe and Serene Space For All

No matter what our residents want to use our private gardens for, they can rest assured that they are safe at all times. We have a large garden area that stretches the length of our home if you want to take a stroll in the sun or have patio areas with comfortable seating for relaxing and catching up with friends and family.

With our close proximity to the River Derwent, residents can listen to the beautiful sounds of nature whilst diving into a book or newspaper. We also open up our private garden and patios for al fresco dining for residents in the summer so they truly do have full independence over where they spend their days. By combining our exemplary care with our purpose-built facilities, residents can enjoy peace of mind that they are living their best lives at Darcy House.
