Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Port Charlotte may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Port Charlotte care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Port Charlotte, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes.

Residential Care Home
My mother lives in the facility and she is receiving wonderful care. the staff are kind and conscientious. The food is wonderful-all homemade-never frozen. She is currently a resident and I will live out her days there.
Our stay here was very short, we were only here a week before our loved one passed away. I don't really know what she thought of the food. I know when we brought her there, she thought it was beautiful, and she said she loved it. Whenever I called or needed anything they were right there, very responsive, and caring. Joelle, the owner sat with my mother in law the evening that she died. She made it a point to call us when she passed away and tell us how peaceful her passing was. I really had no complaints with them at all. They did a great job.
My mother began her experience with Chelsea Place Adult Daycare, so it was a natural transition to Chelsea Place Assisted Living. She knew all of the residents and caretakers, which made the transition easier. I have also met all of the caretakers at CPALF; they love the residents like they are family, and they provide great care for them. They allowed my mother to bring her small dog to live with her, which was also a bonus. My main shout out is for [name removed], who identified some mental issues with Mom and got her into a bigger and brighter room. Between the new room, Mom's dog, and CP Adult Daycare, Mom is doing better than we could have hoped! Thank you to [name removed] and all of the Chelsea Place Staff for what you do!
