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.... Read more

Home full of love

[name removed] and amazing staff took care of my mom like she was their own. I was so stressed about finding a loving and competent home but the moment mom moved in I felt really good about our decision. Everyone is so sweet and mom was always taken care of. Even when it got rough for mom at the end of the stay, [name removed] made sure everyone was happy and patiently worked with us while transitioning her into other facility. Thank you [name removed]! You and your staff are amazing and I truly appreciate everything you did for us. Xoxo.

Inspiring Smaller Assisted Living Facilities in Riverview

I work as a therapist in the medical field for a Homehealth company that has visited Dorothy Cares Assisted Living Facilities in Riverview. The other day I needed to look up their address on google and I was impressed by her 5 star reviews. I don’t usually write reviews, but I could not help but to add my option as well. I must say Dorothy runs a couple of really nice, comfy smaller environments for these folks, they are all well cared for and always look happy. Good job to this nurse and her staff for their hard work in the community and for inspiring others like myself in the field.

My Grandmother’s Journey

Let me start off with CUDOS to Dorothy and her staff! She was a helpful force caring and assisting me on the journey of my Grandmother’s later life. Dorothy assisted me through the transition from my home, to her assisted/memory care facility to the final days of her life. Dorothy was always just a phone call or text away when needed. While my grandmother was at her facility, Dorothy and her staff cared for her with kindness and compassion as if she was one of their family members during her stay. I would highly recommend Dorothy Cares Assisted Living to anyone looking for a small, intimate, family friendly assisted living facility.

Compassion

I cannot say enough about the compassion that Dorothy has for families trying to take care of their loved ones. I contacted Dorothy about 3 months ago about her homes she was so very helpful and compassionate at the time. We where not ready to place my mother yet but that did not matter to her. She was still very helpful. My mom went into the hospital with the Covid virus on [date removed] and was released on [date removed]. My mom was released from the hospital because she met the symptoms release protocol. But none of the homes would take her because she did not have a negative tests. The doctors said my mother was no longer contagious but still we could not find a place to take her. The only place we could place her was in a Covid ward at a nursing home but they do not offer care for fall risk patients. And my mom is a fall risk and has Dementia that was exasperated by 18 days of isolation in the hospital, she had no windows in her room. I called Dorothy and she found us a home that took my mom on a Symptoms base release. I cannot express my family’s gratitude to Dorothy for helping us when no one else would because of wanting a negative test. I highly recommend Dorthy’s homes even though my mom is not in one of them. I cannot imagine that they are not the best of the best when you have such a compassionate person who owns and runs them Thank you Dorothy

Best has been the best place for my dad, he’s been there for a couple of years now and wish I can give them 10 stars ?? instead of 5. It takes a special nurse Like [name removed] and her staff to have these successful assisted living facilities. I recommend them both and you will love the home cooked meals.

This placed saved my mom

Just wanted you and your staff how much I appreciate all that you do. It has been horrendous stress working with COVID patients at the hospital. I cannot begin to imagine if my mom was in a nursing facility and not being able to see her. That added stress would probably kill me. However, I know she is loved and BEYOND taken care of at Dorothy's. I am soo grateful and blessed that God led me to you. I love you all. Thanks again.????????

Great Experience

About a month ago, I was able to do a tour at Dorothy Cares ALF and let me tell you, I was not disappointed at all. I would like to share my experience with you all, if you are looking for someone to care and love your loved ones. You really need to think about Dorothy Cares Alf, think about the quality over the expense. Because Dorothy Cares gives you an all in one package with love. The ALF was spotless with a fresh smell and the staff was very polite, smiling and most of all they treat the clients with respect. The interaction between the staff and the clients was priceless as I watch on. If I ever get to the place that I can’t care for my Mother or myself, we will be heading to Dorothy Cares ALF. Remember You Want The Best For Your Loved Ones. Thanks for Listening, ??[name removed]??

JUST LIKE HOME!

Dorothy's Care is the best facility for many reasons. It is like "home away from home" with delicious home cooked meals and loving care from the staff. They should also win a reward for cleanliness. I can't thank them enough for doing such an excellent job taking care of my husband and I highly recommend them.

Absolutely the Best Facility I Know Of!!

Dorothy Cares Assisted Living Facility In Riverview, Florida is an outstanding Care Facility! My husband was in need of more care than I could provide and this facility went above and beyond all my expectations. The home is beautiful and extremely clean with a garden and sun room that he really enjoys. The bedroom is large and very well organized. One of his favorite things about the home is the delicious home cooking! The pricing here is more than reasonable and the care he receives is fantastic! It was a miracle to find this home. The staff treats him as they would treat a family member and they have been so understanding and helpful to me as well. If you are looking for an assisted living facility for a loved one I highly recommend this facility. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dorothy Cares!!

Cared For By Angels

We had our mom at Dorothy's for about three years. At other facilities, mom was over-medicated, causing more confusion. Her memory improved when she became a guest with [name removed]. This home is kept pristine and pricing is very reasonable compared to other options-- especially since guests receive much more individual attention. Later, when mom's memory did fade, the gentle, caring nature of [name removed] and all of her helpers was a great comfort to us. (My brother was horrified at other 'memory care' facilities he'd visited as they smelled, were depressing, and guests were ignored.) The thoughtful attention my mom received at Dorothy's was phenomenal. My mom considered [name removed] as more of another daughter. The love and care that she received was such a blessing and something that no money could buy. It was a gift. Mom was made to feel special. Thoughtful little things were done for her. As I live at a great distance, they would send photos of mom opening my cards and presents and she always had a huge smile. These would touch my heart and mean so much to me. With my mom's passing, we take great comfort in knowing that she was loved and cared for in the very best way possible. [Name removed] is an absolute angel with the biggest heart and loving nature. She selects staff who are also caring. We could not be more grateful for the loving care that our mother received at Dorothy's.

Highly Recommended Assisted Living Facility!!!!!

We highly recommend Dorothy Cares Assisted Living Facilities of Riverview to anyone that is tired of having their parent at a larger facility, paying a lot more and not getting the services that were promised! I changed my mom to this smaller ALF setting and that was the best decision for her. She has been happier and improving since she's moved in. The nurse administrator and staff are lovely and so caring, I couldn't be any more satisfied!

This is a highly recommended Assisted Living Facility coming from a very satisfied family member to a resident that has been under Dorothy's care for a couple of years now. House is kept cleaned, the smell of the home cooked meals make you feel at home and the personal attention mom gets here is like no other. Staff treat resident like their very own family, we just love it here. They have another location that has been doing great as well.
