The Dorchester South community was great, it was perfect for what was needed for our loved one at the time and she is not at [community name removed]. Based on the experience we would recommend Dorchester South to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.

Nice community.

The food options, the activities and the safety the community provides is something we likes most about The Dorchester South community. For activities they have different outings every week as well as party and get togethers. Based on our experience so far, we would recommend the community to other families.

Review for The Dorchester South

I am now a resident at The Dorchester and very very happy.The place to be!!! Reasonable monthly fee, so many activities and bus trips for everyone, everyone is friendly and helpful. Both residents and staff. The food in the dining room is good but most prefer to cook in their apartments either because of convenience or cost. Here there is a reasonable fee for the meals. Love being here!!!

Great treatment by front desk staff.

[name removed] was kind, courteous, and extremely helpful in solving my problem with signing in to visit my mother. I was very unsure of how to do it and he straightened it out in seconds, I so appreciate that kind of swift and knowledgeable assistance.
