Nestled in the charming lakeside village of Port Dover, Ontario, Dover Cliffs Long-Term Care Home sits within a community known for its scenic Lake Erie shoreline, welcoming small-town atmosphere, and rich maritime heritage. This 70-bed, accredited and licensed long-term care home is operated by Southbridge Care Homes and is built around a simple but meaningful idea: that every resident deserves to feel connected, supported, and truly at home. From the moment you step through the doors, the focus is on the people who live here, with care and services shaped around individual needs, preferences, and dignity.
Dover Cliffs is designed to walk alongside residents through different stages of their care journey. For those who require consistent, around-the-clock support, the home provides long-term care delivered by a team of nursing and personal care professionals available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Care is provided by or under the direct supervision of registered nurses, so families can feel confident that their loved one is in experienced, capable hands at all times. For residents nearing the end of life, Dover Cliffs also offers palliative care, delivered with the same compassion and attentiveness that defines everything the team does. The goal is never simply to manage a condition, but to honour the whole person, ensuring comfort, dignity, and meaningful connection throughout every stage of life.

Choosing a long-term care home is one of the most personal decisions a family can make, and what draws people to Dover Cliffs is often something that goes beyond a list of services.

Families often speak of the peace of mind that comes from knowing their loved one is not only safe but also engaged, heard, and valued. The 24-hour presence of health care staff means there is always someone close by, day or night, which brings enormous reassurance to both residents and the people who love them. At Dover Cliffs, the commitment is to each individual person, not just their medical needs, and that difference is felt every single day.
