The Resident Care Program at The Manor and The Dorchester allows residents of Charlotte's largest retirment community to maximize their independence while avoiding the hassels and financial commitments of an assisted living facility, by aging in the comfort of their apartments. At one third the cost of Charlotte assisted living facilities, the program serves as an affordable alternative to assisted living while preserving the independence and sociality of enrolled seniors.

Under the guidance of Resident Care Director Ann Marie Obrikat, participants enjoy the housekeeping, dining services, monitoring, transportation and mobility assistance that make up the program's core services. Additionally, Ann Marie coordinates custom services offered in affiliation with partnered home care providers Homewatch CareGivers and Emerald Care. She serves as a guide and a valuable resource of information related to senior issues, to our senior community and to the Charlotte area.

For short-term stays, the recuperative care program offers a comfortable enviornment that fosters rapid healing for recently discharged patients following a hospital treatment or surgery.
