Dolan Memory Care at Schuetz Manor concentrates on supporting residents who are living with mild dementia. Care plans are individualized and reviewed regularly by licensed nurses who are on site around the clock. Staff members are trained in dementia-specific techniques and provide hands-on help with bathing and dressing when only some physical assistance is needed, while encouraging residents to handle eating and toileting tasks independently whenever possible. Medication administration, routine health monitoring, and coordination with outside physicians and therapists are included, giving families a clear picture of each resident’s medical status.

Beyond primary medical oversight, the community offers structured cognitive activities designed to slow decline and reduce anxiety. A secure environment with keypad entries helps prevent unsafe wandering, and an emergency call system allows staff to respond quickly to falls or sudden changes in condition. Scheduled transportation is available for off-site medical appointments, and visiting specialists—such as podiatrists or physical therapists—come to the building to limit disruptive trips outside the community. Family support groups and care conferences are held regularly to keep everyone informed and engaged in the resident’s progress.

Accommodations range from private studios to shared suites, each outfitted with basic furnishings, individual climate controls, and an en-suite or nearby bathroom equipped with safety grab bars. Some apartments include added conveniences like step-in showers, built-in storage, or patio access, but not all units have every feature, so families are encouraged to verify specific layouts during a tour. Housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are performed on a routine schedule, and residents can personalize their living spaces within safety guidelines.

Meals are served three times daily in a communal dining room where staff monitor nutritional intake and provide prompt cueing or set-up help for anyone who needs it. Menus are developed by a dietitian and can be modified for diabetic, low-sodium, or mechanically altered diets. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day to support hydration and stable blood sugar. Residents who prefer to eat in their rooms because of illness or personal preference can request tray service, although this option is not offered in every accommodation type.
