Opening Hours

Monday - Friday (8am to 5pm)
Sunday - Closed

Dora’s Home is a charming, two-level, all brick residence with a basement.  The main level has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a common living area, and a kitchen that accommodates all four residents.  The upper level has two spacious bedrooms.  The basement has a washer and dryer.  There is also a covered patio in the gated back yard to enjoy the outdoors.  By serving only four residents, we ensure that each person receives the individualized attention, warmth, and respect they deserve — not as a number, but as a member of our family.

The home offers easy access to local services, as it’s located a half-mile away from a grocery store and is directly across the street from a bus stop.

Admission Policy

Dora’s Home is open to persons aged 55 years and older with mental illness, intellectual/developmental disabilities, and/ or recovering from chemical dependency.  Residents must be ambulatory, able to follow directions and take independent action in emergency situations.

Applicants considered for acceptance into the home must be compatible with current residents and must be professionally recommended for community placement.

Boutique Home Environment

Quaint residential setting, not a dull facility. Residents feel truly at home. Enjoy time in common areas like the living room and patio, or retire to comfortable rooms.

Four Private Rooms

By serving only four residents, we ensure that each person receives the individualized attention, warmth, and respect they deserve, not as a number, but as a member of our family.

We provide comprehensive care that nurtures both emotional well-being and physical health. Through personalized attention, engaging activities, and compassionate companionship, we ensure a balanced and fulfilling life for every senior in our care.

Empowering independence with dignity

Our comprehensive approach ensures that every resident receives not only physical care but also emotional and mental support.

Respecting Daily Choices

We encourage residents to make their own decisions. From meals to activities, we ensure their voice is always heard and honored in daily routines.

Supportive, Not Controlling

Our caregivers are here to assist without taking away independence. We aim to empower through thoughtful support, not by overstepping personal boundaries.

Freedom in a Safe Environment

With safety measures in place, residents enjoy the freedom to move, connect, and engage, all within a secure and caring setting that promotes well-being.
