Dover Place is a rare gem for senior living for loved ones who need an assisted living community! My parents and my family are treated with respect and kindness. The nurses and all staff are dedicated, caring, attentive, respectful, kind and helpful. Everyone is smiling, the residents and the staff. The food is great and the residents are offered a variety of meaningful and engaging activities 7 days a week. Truly a happy place with people who enjoy living there and working there.

Dover Place has become a home for our family and we highly recommend this senior living community! Having a loved one with dementia is difficult more than words can say. Knowing that that they are being cared for by nurses and staff that are genuinely kind, caring, supportive and dedicated can't be measured. Dover Place has provided all of us with a new home. My in-laws are happy, alert and grateful for their "new home" surrounded by other community members and the best staff/nurses that they deserve at this time of their life.

I thank all the staff for caring for my 100 year old mother for 4 months during my radiation therapy and recovery. I wasn’t sure they could meet my mom’s needs but they did! Everyone…nurses, aides, kitchen staff, maintenance, front desk staff… were kind, respectful and professional.

Queena, Vicky, Jarvis, & the entire staff in the memory care center do a phenomenal job working with their dementia citizens. It is a debilitating disease, not only for the patient, but more so for the families; and, it is a relief knowing they’re in good hands.
