70 Residential Care Homes near Dorchester County, MD

Last Updated: 2/21/25

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.


You may also consider nearby communities such as Anne Arundel, Sussex or Talbot.

Prince of Peace IV in Cheltenham, MD
5.0

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.

Riva Terrace 1
5.0

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.

Discover the many ways to pay for senior living

Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.

What are care homes?

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:

  • Help with personal care
  • Medication management
  • Mobility assistance
  • Nutritious meals
  • Social activities and outings
  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
