At The Dorchester, you’ll find all the amenities you will need, and choose to pay for only those you want—as you need them. Here you’ll live among interesting, likeminded friends on a lively campus and in a place you’ll be proud to call your own.

You set the pace and follow your own interests. Join game lovers here for bridge, bingo, canasta, pinochle, rumikub or poker nights; or head to the tables of Harrah’s Cherokee for a weekend getaway. Join the joggers, practice yoga, draw, paint and line dance. Catch a movie in our Great Room or enjoy a broadway show downtown at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center.
Retirement community dining can seem monotonous, particularly when residents are required to commit to a prepaid meal plan, forcing the sacrifice of funds that have been previously committed to the senior home's meal of the evening in order to enjoy a home-cooked meal or dine out.

With a per-meal payment system, residents of The Dorchester never face such dilemmas, and a variety of available services and amenities make ease of both cooking in and dining out in Charlotte. Says one satisfied Dorchester resident: "With à la carte services, I can go out to eat on a whim, order a pizza or try a new recipe without worrying that a meal I paid for has gone uneaten in the dining room."

The Dorchester offers a variety of distinctive floor plans for seniors 55 years of age and older. Ranging from $623 to $1,425 per month, each of our units are handicapped-accessible, and they have full kitchens and individually-controlled heating and air conditioning systems. There are no up-front or monthly maintenance fees, and utilities are included.

We offer one and two bedroom units, all of which are single-level with spacious, walk-in closets. Many are W/D-equipped, and a select few overlook our courtyard.
