The Neighborhood at Grove Park

Independent living, assisted living and memory care share one campus at The Neighborhood at Grove Park, 101 Tulip Lane in Dothan. Phoenix Senior Living operates the community, which also accepts short-term respite stays of 14 to 29 days. Having several care levels in one place can spare a couple or a single resident another move if needs change.

Assisted living residents receive supervision of daily activities and of medications they take themselves, with trained associates available 24 hours a day. Help with scheduling medical appointments is offered, and scheduled transportation covers appointments and outings. Apartments include spacious bathrooms and kitchenettes, utilities are included with optional telephone and cable TV, and residents choose private or semi-private accommodations.

For residents living with Alzheimer's or another dementia, the community lists certified dementia care with custom-designed programs. Families should ask how those programs are structured across a day and how staff respond to evening restlessness. Everyday life on campus includes coffee with friends, cooking competitions, live entertainment, a game room and a library, and pets are welcome with a secured dog park.

The campus is in the Grove Park neighborhood of Northwest Dothan, with shops, restaurants and churches in the surrounding area. Landmark Park, the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail and Dothan Area Botanical Gardens are local destinations, and Southeast Health serves the city's medical needs. Wheelchair accessible buildings make it easier for residents with limited mobility to join outings and events. Families can compare other senior living options in Dothan as well.
