Real People. Real Stories
My family will be forever grateful for Aunt Dottie's place. After my dad was suddenly diagnosed with aggressive cancer, we were unable to take care of him at home because of his significant needs. The owners and caregivers at Aunt Dottie's are truly incredible. They treat residents like their own family and we really trusted they would care for our dad and make the best decisions for him. They warmly welcomed our family and were so kind, even going out of their way to make cookies for my daughters when they visited and letting them swim in the pool. The owners are very professional but they are also caring and compassionate, something our family really needed during such a hard time. They guided us during every step of the way and made themselves available at all hours of the day when needed. You can tell this is more than a job for them. They truly care and put their resident's needs first. We toured several other Board and Care homes in the area, and none of them came close to the level of care and professionalism as Aunt Dottie's. We highly recommend Aunt Dottie's to anyone who needs care for a loved one.
Aunt Dotties is a wonderful niche that not many would anticipate to find. As an ICU nurse and family of nurses, we understand there are many aspects to wellness, and levels of care that we learn we need to lean into for our loved ones as they age. After assisted living could no longer keep up with my grandmother's increasing medical needs and she was note benefiting from the social aspects that community living provided, we debated in home care that required 24-7 attendance. Unfortunately that would not be sustainable for extended time, potentially years. Realizing our own limitations and the truth of what that would require, the daunting task of how to provide that care became very stressful. Board and Care often gets a bad wrap and I was (very) nervous at first. I was pleasantly surprised after just a few visits. The home was kept VERY clean (no typical smell) they are more aware of individual needs and preferences, and give more personalized care and flexible with our visits. The back yard is beautiful (perfect for mini picnics and the easter egg hunt we did with her Great grand-daughters), the staff is kind and patient, and the owners genuinely care. I would highly recommend Aunt Dottie's Place for those that need this niche care, like having another home just for your aging loved ones care. They will take care of your loved ones needs during these tough stages.
My family and I are so grateful for the exceptional care my parents receive at this board and care home. The owners are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to make us feel like family. My mother has Dementia and my father fractured his L2 and has other health issues and is bed bound. They truly care about my parents' well-being, and it shows in everything they do.
The home is always spotless and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and safe environment. What's more, they've generously allowed us to use their outdoor pool and host family gatherings in the backyard, which has been such a blessing. It means the world to us that we can spend quality time with my parents in such a welcoming setting.
If you're looking for a board and care home where your loved ones will be treated with kindness, respect, and genuine affection, look no further. This place is a true gem!

My dad has been living at Aunt Dottie’s Place for about two years now, and I’m grateful for the care he’s received. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely seems to care about his well-being. He’s getting much better care here than he was able to get at home, and it gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in a safe and supportive environment. Overall, I would recommend Aunt Dottie’s Place to others who are looking for compassionate and reliable care for their loved ones.
My Dad was cared for at Aunt Dotties’ Place in his final 5 years while he had multiple health issues including Parkinson’s and Dementia. He was always well cared for not only for his physical needs but his emotional wellbeing also. The owners, Abraham and Selam, were very attentive and personable and a pleasure to work with. The staff was top notch and very professional. It’s not easy to have a loved one in decline like this but my Dad was very well cared for and I highly recommend Aunt Dotties’ Place if you have a relative with that need.
Fantastic place for Mom or Dad, we love that Mom was happy and well taken care of. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful and supportive.
Highly recommend!

I have had the privilege of volunteering at Auntie Dottie's Place, an exceptional residential care facility for the elderly. The small, private setting provides a warm, home-like atmosphere where residents feel part of a close-knit group. The dedicated management team ensures the highest standards of care, continuously guiding caregivers to meet each resident's unique needs.
The focus on creating a social and fun environment is evident in the daily interactions and activities, fostering a sense of community and well-being among the residents. One of my favorite activities is the singalong sessions, where it's a joy to see residents engaged, either singing along or enjoying their favorite old songs. It's heartening to see the positive impact this personalized approach has on their lives. For anyone seeking a compassionate and professional care facility for their loved ones, I highly recommend Auntie Dottie's Place.

Thank you so much. 
Mom needed to be in a place that could offer a lot of care & assistance. Aunt Dottie’s Place was the perfect place for her. They have great staff, who really care about their residents.
As a matter of fact, my mother in law is also a resident at Aunt Dottie’s Place. My husband’s family has been very happy with her care there for a number of years.
I highly recommend Aunt Dottie’s Place. They have caring & friendly staff, nutritious food, group activities, and it’s a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood.

If you're looking for a residential home where your loved one will be taken care of, fed nutritious meals and kept safe then look no further than Aunt Dottie's Place. My Mom has been a resident since 2017, progressing through stages of dementia. She has always been treated with respect and dignity by the previous owner and now the new owners. They are absolutely committed to their residents' safety, health and well being. There are only six residents and staffing is such that individualized care can be provided at all times. My family and I are so thankful for the excellent care our Mom receives!

Thank you so much, for your kind words. 
I visit Aunt Dottie's Place often to visit my mother, a resident who has advanced Alzheimer's disease. She has lived there for over 5 years, and has always received excellent care from dedicated well-trained staff. She had lived in a large memory care facility before Aunt Dottie's but never received the kind of loving, compassionate attention that she does here. It is actually a real home in a quiet residential neighborhood, and when I visit I feel at home there, and know that my mom is very well taken care of. The staff is always friendly and responsive to any questions or comments that I have. I highly recommend Aunt Dottie's Place to anyone who is looking for an outstanding residential care home for their loved one.

Thank you so much Mark. 
We were so fortunate to find Aunt Dottie’s Place. From the first day of my dad’s stay, Selam and the entire staff treated him with the utmost respect and worked hard to always maintain his dignity. The facility is immaculate in regard to cleanliness and my dad was always satisfied with the food that was served. I received similar complementary comments from the visiting nurses that visited my father. My dad’s physician was also extremely pleased with the effort put into managing his medications. As the administrator, Selam was always available and kept in close contact with me regarding my dad’s condition. As my dad transitioned into hospice care, the staff became even more attentive to his needs. Aunt Dottie’s Place is a true gem!
