Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Dorchester County may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Dorchester County 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 Dorchester County, 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. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

Residential Care Home
I would recommend Prince of Peace IV to others. It feels like home and the environment is pleasing and clean. The move in process was very simple. I rate the care very high, as they notice any small changes in my mother's health and alert me immediately.
Since we have been with ultimate care it has been a absolutely wonderful experience for my family top to bottom my mom's care has been top notch and I am very pleased and happy that we made the decision for them to care for my loved one, definitely a recommended facility.
We have had such a wonderful experience with Riva Terrace, we really like the smallness of the community. They only had 5 rooms available for residents and we were able to tour the community before they had to shut down a second time due to the pandemic - all of the residents were out of their rooms and were in the living room the overlooked the water which was lovely. We noticed a worker in the corner was singing to a resident which we thought was such a nice touch. The community is very clean and neat.
