Overall a great place for your loved one
In general the staff is very caring and helpful. As with most facilities; they seem to be short staffed with call-out and hiring the right people. Unfortunately, I find this true with most businesses in this day and age. If they could add more fresh vegetables and fruits; I know that has been an issue for my mother as well as other residents. On a positive note, my mother now refers to Dover Place as her home.

our families experience
While there are some things that could use updating. The bathroom in my mom's room is an example. The overall look and feel of the place is well taken care of. All of the these I rated as 5 actually surpass that. I am constantly amazed at the activities. Everyone seems happy to be there no matter when I stop by. My mother is well taken care of and the few things I have needed to talk to them about as my mom declines. They have more than been willing to help adjust and take care of. Some of it isn't easy as my mom can be hard to handle. They NEVER make me feel like she is a problem even though I know she can be difficult. They seem like they truly care for her. Food is good and always served with a smile. I have looked at other places and prices so I know we have a good value for cost.

Comfortable and homey
My dad was very resistant to the idea of moving into assisted living. He wanted to maintain his independence and freedom and didn't like the prospect of having to pay so much of his life savings just to live. But it became unsafe for him to continue living alone. He liked Dover Place the most of the facilities in Dover that we visited. They do a lot for the residents to keep them active and engaged. Most of the staff come across as genuinely caring. He has complained that they are patronizing and talk to him like he's a child. I've noticed it too. His hearing is poor, and so he mis-hears some things. His reactions have provoked laughs, which he doesn't like. He has had trouble getting help during the night shift. I imagine it's difficult to get people to do that job. I have found it difficult to find someone to just let me out of the building when leaving at night. I wish they would give family members a keypad code so they can let themselves out.

I picked Dover Place for my father because they are warm and friendly while at the same time giving professional service
What our family likes the most about the Dover Place community is just how helpful and accessible the nursing staff team is there. Based on our experience so far, we would recommend this community to other families who are looking for a place for their loved ones.

Good Experience Overall, Although Not As Much Care as Expected
Overall everything seemed to go smoothly. The building was clean and tidy. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. My loved seemed to decline once there and needed more care than I felt she got. All the staff members were very helpful and caring. My loved one likes all kinds of food and said it all tasted good. They did assist her with her meals. The up front cost to enter the facility was extremely high. The basic cost to stay was similar to other facilities that I had looked into.

My only issue is that my mom is a reluctant resident and I don't know how to help her acclimate what should I be doing to help her. I do reach out every one is nice but I don't get feedback I need to help her. I would and have recommended this community to others.

They try really hard to be as accommodating as possible and work with the residents and make their stay as nice as possible. They go for scenic drives, bingo, bands or singers come in and perform form them, amongst many others. They provide transportation in their van for appointments. The food is pretty good. The location has 2 floors, assisted living is located on both floors. Age is 60 and above. They provide housekeeping daily and laundry once a week. The residents are friendly.

tour of Dover Place
I toured Dover Place and the experience was fantastic! they were very accommodating and willing to give me a tour on a Saturday. everyone was very friendly - from the residents to the staff - they went out of their way to greet us and make sure we've been helped. they left a great impression on me and seemed to have everything; but we chose another community because Dover Place was too far away from my loved one.

I wish we would of found it sooner
Dover Place has been such a positive experience so far, the staff and their care services are a 5 plus. Our loved one is really enjoying the meals, and the activities are wonderful. There is always so much going on, we have been able to see a few of them when we come to visit and they are great. The value seems to be very comparable for everything they have to offer. We used to have a care giver come to our home which our loved one did well with, but now being at a community our loved one is thriving. Having dementia, and being surrounded by others with dementia helps her feel normal, and does not stress her out. The environment is very stimulating, and this is a place you would want to put your loved ones.

Dover Place has been great. We chose this facility because the overall reviews we saw online were all positive and the hospitality and friendliness of the lady that we dealt with. It is more expensive but the care is well worth the money. The visiting hours are great. They have activities for each type of person and they have a lot to do. I would recommend to others looking.

Our tour at Dover place was very nice. Everyone we interacted with was very nice, the facility appeared very clean, and we actually got to see the residents actively participating in a craft project, which was nice. The sales person was great, and she put us in touch with a nurse for the tour. We ended up choosing a different place that I liked the look and feel of a little better, that was closer to home as well.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Delaware regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Delaware regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Dover Place 8.8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
