Peace of mind.

It is not easy when you get to that moment when you have to place your loved one in an assisted living facility. Many thoughts go through your mind and then the concerns of how your loved one will feel or be treated starts to set in. Dorothy Cares ALF and its staff have made it so much easier. I am writing this to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care and attention that my mother receives at your facility. From the moment she became a resident, your team has gone above and beyond to ensure her comfort, safety, and well-being. Your dedication to providing compassionate and professional care has been evident in every interaction and every aspect of her daily life there. It brings me great comfort to know that my mother is in such capable hands. Your expertise, kindness, and commitment to excellence have not gone unnoticed, and I am truly grateful for all that you do. Thanks to each and every member of your team. [name removed] family…

By far the best assisted living location I’ve dealt with in Flory

My wife is suffering with Alzheimer’s disease and has been in eight different facilities in Pennsylvania and Florida. Dorthey Cares here in Florida is hands down the best place she has been. The staff to patient ratio is excellent at one to three. [name removed] clothes and body are kept clean and she receives weekly physical and occupational therapy, as well as frequent Doctor’s visits. I highly recommend this facility. They really do care.

Best care and placement for our loved one.

Dorothy Cares is aptly named. [name removed]and her staff really do care and take very good care of my mother-in-law. And unlike many other ALF’s, Dorothy Cares does not have the telltale urine smell that larger ALF’s try to mask and the ratio of residents to staff cannot be beat. It is 3:1. The home is always clean and they cook fresh meals everyday. In addition my, MIL is clean, gets her correct medication, is regularly seen by the visiting physician, she has not fallen and gets the attention she needs. So glad we found this place.

Remarkable Care and Support

Our experience with Dorothy Cares ALF has been incredible. From the moment we arrived, the facility’s welcoming, clean environment reassured us. What makes this place stand out is the outstanding care, especially from Dorothy. When another facility denied my mom’s stay, Dorothy went above and beyond to help. Her compassion and willingness to make things work during such a challenging time showed how deeply she cares for the residents and their families. The staff treats my mom with patience, respect, and kindness, always understanding her unique needs. They handle challenges with grace and create a family-like atmosphere. The facility is always immaculate, and the food is wonderful. They also offer special events that keep the residents active and happy. I’m truly grateful for Dorothy Cares and thank God for leading us here. It’s a huge relief knowing my mom is in such caring hands, and I couldn’t ask for better care.

A blessing

It is always stressful and sad to need to have a loved one placed at an assisted living facility. When the time came, the owner helped me through each step of the way; it was such a blessing! The staff is extremely caring and loving, they do care and help him with love, enthusiasm and respect. The place is immaculately clean. The residents are safe, clean and well fed and they exercise and do several activities throughout the day. It is indeed a blessing!

My Mom [name removed]

My mother, [name removed], became a resident in late December 2023 at Dorothy's Riverview location. Beings that we kids all worked, we needed a safe place for mom to be once she came out of the rehab. The Lord truly dropped Dorothy in our laps! From the very start, I knew we found the perfect place. Dorothy even went to the rehab and met my mom and her baby friends and they had a blast laughing and talking for a few hours! Yes, 2 hours! Being an RN herself and focusing mostly on elderly care, Dorothy helped us with all of the details for moms exit from the rehab to adjusting again to real life living. From paperwork to meds, patience of a Saint, insurance, rehab and activities, she has it set up! Her ALF is spotless, warm and inviting. It's home. All the ladies welcomed mom so kindly and really made a fuss over her to help her adjust. Dorothy's staff goes over and above. Especially her [name removed] that became my mom's [name removed]! They were darling together. And lastly....GREAT food!!!

My mother has been given exceptional care at this facility. The place is clean and the staff is caring. They make sure meals are prepared on time and the patients are fed timely. All residents appear to be content. I would highly recommend this facility.

Caring People

Our 93 year old mother has been with Ms. Dorothy for about 5 months now after leaving a facility that was very sub-standard. The caregivers are extremely compassionate and provide mom with a clean, comfortable environment. Since she is completely unable to care for herself (mentally & physically) they bathe and feed her good meals daily. Ms. Dorothy provides my sisters and I updates every few days and sends us pictures too. We try and visit her daily but we are not worried when we can't make it there for a day or so. Wish we would have found her sooner! Residents there have games and activities they participate in and really seem to love the place too. I would recommend this place whole heartedly!!

Got waitlisted but we are willing to wait!

Dorothy took care of my aunt a few years ago so I have visited one of her facilities and my family adored her! Now my dad needs a place for his care, except she is full and doesn't have an available bed for a male at this time. We are willing to wait till she has an opening, we believe her place is worth the wait.

Truly a place for mom

I first found Dorothy when looking for an adult daycare. My first interaction with Dorothy was very honest yet warm., was late 2021 during COVID. Mom eventually moved in as a resident in June of 2022. Dorothy and her staff immediately made her feel at home and of course my trepidation of moving my mom away from home was eased. Dorothy and her staff were always eager to share updates of mom with the family along with pictures and videos. The resident was always spotless and cleaned without any storing disinfectant smells. It was really warm and inviting. It did not matter what day or time I visited, it was always the same. The care given to my mom was exceptional to say the least. I went out of the country Christmas of 2022, feeling confident and relaxed knowing mom would be safe and cared for. Dorothy and her staff extend their to the end. Dorothy, [name removed] and [name removed] took time to attend my mom's funeral. That was truly special to my family an I. Thanks Dorothy & staff.
