Darley House has proudly celebrated its first anniversary, marking a year of compassionate care and strong community connections in the heart of Mona Vale.
Under the leadership of Jessie Kaur, Director of Nursing, Darley House has grown into a warm and welcoming home where residents, families, and staff feel genuinely connected. With just 48 residents, the nursing home offers an intimate, close-knit environment that allows for personalised care and meaningful relationships.
One of our residents gave a beautiful speech at our anniversary celebrations, here is what Barry had to say:
Firstly, I would like to congratulate Thompson Health Care on building this aged care facility in Mona Vale. It has top quality rooms and workable dining and lounge rooms, so it never feels like there are 48 residents here.
Seven months ago, when we asked our family doctor to recommend an aged care facility on the Northern Beaches, he had no hesitation in recommending Darley House.
My thoughts on ever going to a nursing home were negative, however after a couple of falls at home and away from home and with my wife not being able to lift me, we realised that I needed professional care and with the progression of Parkinson’s, falls are most likely to increase.
I would like to say a special thank you to the nurses who work here. You are so kind and supportive and always have a smile while providing 24-hour service.
Recently my wife was booked to go to hospital for a full knee replacement and we had a predicament of who could look after ‘Lilly’ our 8-year-old cavoodle. To our surprise the wonderful lady on reception Jelina kindly offered to take care of her after work and through to the next morning for which we are most appreciative. Jelina helped us for some two weeks, Lilly will never forget her.
Thanks also to our Director of Nursing Jessie who does a wonderful job, she is always happy & smiling and helping staff and her door is always open to residents.
Please enjoy the rest of your day!
Darley House opened in 2025 with many residents moving from Mona Vale House, located two streets away in Bassett Street. Thompson Health Care is now rebuilding Mona Vale House into a grand new 118-bed nursing home, beautifully designed and expected to welcome residents in mid-2027.
With over 50 years of excellence in Aged Care, Thompson Health Care is proud of the communities it builds for our elderly residents and our commitment to providing luxury, high-quality aged care options in the local area.
