Providence Place of Dover

Very clean, safe and comfortable home. We were very pleased with the owner and the staff. The home smells very good with fresh cooking lunch or dinner, no unpleasant odors whatsoever. All bedrooms were tidy and clean, no visible dust, fresh flowers are in every room. Residents look and sound happy and well take care of. Good home to be in.

The facilities are very nice, and offer a range of help options from completely independent living to highly supervised living, even a dementia wing. It is a Christian based company so there is a great deal of fellowship provided for the residence which in my grandmother's case was very helpful in the transition from her own home to an apartment in this facility. The grounds are well kept and attractive. The staff is somewhat transient (high turnover rate), but to my understanding this is quite common in this type of care facility. The staff that has been there longer has many connections with the residents and are always friendly to visitors as well. The facility is also very interested in having families involved, even sponsoring holiday parties and summer picnics to create situations where families are more likely to visit the residents. This provider was very helpful as my grandfather deteriorated and it became necessary to increase his care and supervision. They were able to do this without infringing on my grandmothers independence. They even took charge of coordinating transportation for my grandmother once my grandfather needed to transfer to a skilled care facility.
