Dover Place

Dover Place sits in a quiet rural setting outside Dover, Delaware with 71 apartments for seniors who need assisted living, skilled nursing, or memory care. The building stays staffed at all hours, with a full-time licensed nurse on hand around the clock, which lets people get care quickly whenever they need it, and the team's trained to help people with dementia and Alzheimer's. The care team helps residents move between bed and wheelchair, manages diabetes including insulin and sliding scale therapy, gives medication, and writes care plans for each person. Meals are home-cooked and included, and there's help with laundry and personal care items, plus telephone, cable, and internet. There's a small southern country kitchen town, a grand atrium with a cathedral ceiling, a bistro, cafe, beauty and barber shop, and even a pro shop on site, along with covered patios outside and rocking chairs for quiet moments. Apartments come as studios or one- and two-bedroom layouts, even with deluxe options and big closets, with up to 708 square feet. Residents can bring pets, and therapy dogs sometimes visit too. Dover Place puts a lot into having activities for everyone-ceramics, gardening, Rummikub, Pokeno, yoga, Bible study, socials, singing groups, movie nights, crafts, bingo, ice cream socials, church on Sundays, and Friday Happy Hour, even monthly special family events and outdoor picnics when the weather's good. Staff give rides to doctor visits, shopping, and places in town, and they'll help set up trips to places like the Delaware beaches, nearby arts centers, museums, golf courses, and downtown shops or restaurants. Respite care and aging in place are both options, so people can stay even as their needs change. There are stand-by aids for transfers, wheelchair accessible showers, hospice and pharmaceutical care, on-site lab work and X-rays, as well as physical, speech, and occupational therapy. Dover Place joins Inspirit Senior Living and the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce, staying aware of education and networking for better elder care. Residents can pick between different activities for lifelong learning, like learning digital tools or music, and there's always something to do with friends nearby. Suites suit different budgets and tastes, and the facility tries to make sure everyone has both privacy and community, with plenty of space for both. The grounds are kept up nicely for companionship and social moments, and the community keeps its focus on keeping people feeling welcome, independent, and connected in body, mind, and spirit.
