My mom has moved into Dover Place. We chose it because of the environment, and the people that I met while I was down there checking/doing my research. I liked best the environment and how receptive the people were to my mother's questions and in responding to her when she had an issue. They are very quick and efficient in responding to issues, and very open to discussing things with her.
The food is OK, going by what she tells me, because I'm not allowed to be in the dining area because of COVID. But I would say they are OK from the way she described them to me. They have some activities, but I do think they maybe could have some more.
The facilities are clean and well-maintained. They offer a fairly welcoming environment. They have a salon and they also have like a courtyard/outdoor seating area.

I love Dover Place. It smelled good, was clean, and looked nice. There's a whole lot to do in that place. They were very friendly and the place was just wow because the way it was set up, really looked like a community. The lady was very friendly and showed me a one-bedroom and a studio. I went there around 1 o'clock, so I saw some residents watching TV, while some were standing around talking to each other. She also said that there are people that would come in to get them into therapy and stuff like that.

My mother-in-law is living in Dover Place. It's very nice, and we're very satisfied with everything so far. I chose it because of how friendly and helpful they were, right from the very beginning, even before my mother-in-law went in there. It was warm, inviting, and felt like a community, like a family. It was decorated for Halloween, it had nice fall flowers around, and it doesn't smell like a nursing home. The residents are out in the community and doing activities. People were playing cards and ladies were getting their nails and hair done.

Dover Place was beautiful, immaculately clean, and I also saw the memory unit. All the people were very engaged with the activities. The apartments were lovely. They have a physical therapy room, and an area where the memory care people can sit on benches. It looked very nice.

It is very nice. The people are friendly. I just overall like the whole atmosphere. It is not too big where it feels uncomfortable. It is homey and very nice. It is more convenient for me; it is closer to my home.
Memory Care Reviews for Dover Place
December 05, 2021
I visited this facility
Dover Place was excellent. The young lady, Sarah, took me on a tour throughout the facility, explaining how the place was laid out, what their objectives were, and what the services and things were offered. I was very much impressed by the cleanliness of the place and the attention that the residents were getting. The staff knew the individuals, which I liked. Also, I liked the fact that it's close to my home.
Sarah showed me the area where they planted stuff in the spring and the open area where some people can sit outside. They have two courtyards, one is closed-in because that was the memory care, while the other one was more open. The place was just comfortable. It had everything that I was looking for, that includes their location, the staff, the cleanliness, and the accessibility. They were all professional and top of the line.
