Mason Manor is described as the most quaint of Dolan's homes, nestled in a neighborhood near Ladue and Town and Country. The homes are designed to blend into their communities without front-yard signage to respect resident and family privacy. Each home operates as a residential setting where residents become part of the family, emphasizing a social model of care rather than an institutional approach.

The community provides person-centered care with staff trained by the Alzheimer's Association. Care is continuous and all-inclusive, with residents receiving support tailored to their memory impairment needs. The homes feature cozy living rooms and sunrooms where residents spend their days in social settings, and family-style dining is central to creating a home-like atmosphere for residents, care partners, and families.

Outings are an integral part of daily life at Dolan, as they help restore a sense of normalcy and have been shown to assist individuals with dementias. The memory care homes are secure and locked for safety, offering more support, cueing, and physical assistance than assisted living facilities.
