Dolan Memory Care At Schuetz

Dolan Memory Care At Schuetz is a memory care facility in Saint Louis, Missouri, specializing in dementia and Alzheimer's disease care. The community is nestled in a neighborhood near Kirkwood and Webster Groves, operating as part of Dolan's network of 17 homes throughout St. Louis County that have served the region for over 30 years.

The home is designed as a traditional ranch residence on a 7,000 square foot property, blending into the residential neighborhood without front yard signage to respect resident and family privacy. Dolan Memory Care provides person-centered, continuous care with staff trained specifically by the Alzheimer's Association. The facility offers more support, cuing, and physical assistance than assisted living, with secured environments designed for the safety of individuals with memory impairment.

Daily life at the community emphasizes a social model of care and family-style dining experiences. Residents spend their days in cozy living rooms and sunrooms enjoying each other's company. Outings are an integral part of the program, as they help restore a sense of normalcy and have been shown to assist individuals with dementia.

The community's philosophy centers on maintaining dignity and independence while aging in place. Staff embrace residents' strengths and encourage individuality, with the goal of helping each resident become part of the family. The facility operates on an all-inclusive cost model where each resident pays the same regardless of the level of care received.
