Dorothy Cares Assisted Living Facility

I can't say enough about the exceptional care my mom received with Dorothy and staff. As a dementia patient, my mom had been withdrawn and isolated. I needed help as a full time caregiver for years. Mom was provided diligent loving care and treated with dignity, kindness and respect. She truly received the best care possible as an adult daycare patient. She received daily meals/snacks that fit her dietary needs, supervision/assistance, medication management, physical exercise including guided walks outside with her peers. She thoroughly enjoyed socializing and participating in crafts, bingo, puzzles and other fun activities with fellow attendees. She loved spending time outside on the enclosed patio. I received regular progress reports/photos of my mom's days participating and having fun. I was made aware of any staff concerns immediately and solutions were offered to adjust for my mom's needs/interests. With Dorothy, you'll have the peace of mind and valuable care for your loved one.

Excellent smaller assisted living facility will re-locate mom in 2023, and will be put on waitlist.

My mom has been at Dorothy Cares for sometime now and I absolutely love it. The residential setting makes her feel right at home. The staff is the best that I have seen in any ALF that my mom has been at or we have researched, and we have researched our share in the Tampa bay area look under the hood and you’ll see it’s an outstanding place.

I toured these facilities with the owner. They are very nice & promising, will recommend these ALFs. I am not interested in the larger communities now that I have toured both settings. Looking at my options.

I recently visited Dorothy's ALF to see one of their residents for therapy. I took a bunch of brochures for clients that would love to join their adult day care services apart from the assisted living services they run. Folks were having a blast and even saw them dancing. I was very impressed!

Coming from someone in the medical field , these Alf’s are top notch and staff’s home-cooked meals are delicious.

[name removed] and staff has been so wonderful, we are very thankful to have found you. You treated mom so kindly and made her feel like she was a part of the family, we know she was in great care in your hands. We miss her, but know she is in a better place now. We miss Dorothy and Staff too, often talk about the great experience we had. We will never forget it. Thank you once again!

Good Evening, My mom was admitted into the Tropical House and later was moved to the Crestview House. I must say that, my mom received, outstanding care and love, she was treated like family, from day one. The owner and her staff are Top-notched. May God continue to Blessed them, for being so Loving and Caring.

I will start my dad start their adult day care 5 days a week to keep him active. So far I like what I saw, activities, exercises and food smelled great!

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the owner and staff for the care and love they show everyone. The community is happy to have you.

After taking care of my mom for 12 yrs. I was very hesitant about placing her in an ALF. [Owner] and her staff have given great care and treat her like family. I consider our family blessed to have found such kind and loving caretakers. I rest peacefully knowing she is happy and in a loving, clean place. I could never thank you enough. God bless!

I feel so blessed the day that Mom went to Dorothy Cares. I live out of state and was looking for a loving family like home for my mother who had alzhemers. I saw much bigger places but knew that they would be too big and confusing for my mother. [name removed] and [name removed] create such a loving caring family home for Mom. Dorothy Cares is a small home for 5-6 people. Mom knew where everything was. No walking through long hallways and up and down elevators. Life was made easy and less stressful living in a home like environment. I strongly recommend Dorothy Cares because she truly does care!

I love Dorothy's Assisted Living Facilities and recommend them to anyone. They have a great reputation in the community.

What an excellent service to our communities! I want to congratulate the nurse and her staff for all their good work to the residents. I am proud to recommend both locations.

I'm on a wait list for a private room, to get my grandma into one of their locations, and I've toured both ALF's. They are terrific and have a great reputation and my friends mom lives here and can't stop bragging about them.

I brought my mom to this facility back in 2016. She is one of the pioneer at Dorothy’s. The whole staff is amazing. They care, love and treated their patients like they are part of their own family. Nice and very cleaned facility. There is a good relationship between residents and staff, which I love. It is a cozy , and familiar place where the residents feel at home!

There are really no words to describe the professional and loving care that residents receive in this facility, it is the best in the area. My mother suffered a severe fall in 2020 that led to a decline in her cognition and the need to recover in a skilled nursing and rehabilitation setting. It was in the large nursing facilities that were chosen for their expertise that she fell three more times, breaking her hip and arm. Once I was able to get her out and into Dorothy Cares, she has recovered she is thriving and her cognition is better than before her initial fall!! The setting is in a house, the residents are like fam., and the staff cares for them with real concern! They do special things like paint her nails, movie nights, and daily exercise customized to their abilities!For the care that is given they could charge staggering prices with fees additional things done but that doesn’t happen here. facilities all over the Tampa Bay Area to include Sun City pale in comparison.

I just want to thank [name removed] and her staff for letting us see the two facilities and letting me write an article on senior care in todays world. My family is now on a wait list to get my aunt in one of the assisted living facilities.

I am a therapist and I visit many assisted living facilities on a daily basis. When I am in the Riverview area, both of Dorothy's homes are my absolute favorite facilities to visit. If anyone is looking for this area which is close to either Apollo beach, Sun City or Brandon areas; my team and I would recommend them to anyone. I also want to say keep up the good work and thank you for keeping the residents so loved, happy and cared for.

I had mom in a larger facility in Sun City and I cannot compare the care she has received in this facility compared to them. Even when I toured other facilities I saw the difference in environment, care and joy the owner & staff brings to the ALFs. I usually write reviews of places when they are bad to warn others, but this excellent review was called for! I am so grateful to have found Dorothy's ALF.
