Dolan Memory Care at Calais

Dolan Memory Care at Calais

Overview of Dolan Memory Care at Calais

Dolan Memory Care at Calais is a 44-bed assisted living facility with specialized memory care at 1225 Tennant Road, Saint Louis, Saint Louis County, Missouri. Kendra Shelton administers the facility, operated by Cura, Inc. The facility focuses on person-centered care for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

An important operational constraint: Dolan Memory Care does not accept Medicare or Medicaid, accepting only private-pay residents. This significantly limits access to families without independent financial resources. The facility maintains a physician on staff and provides 24-hour staffing, positioning it as a more medically-oriented memory care community than typical assisted living. Rehabilitation services and respite care are available.

The facility offers family-style dining and emphasizes family support alongside person-centered care. Fifty-four photos are available, suggesting comprehensive documentation of the environment. The facility is part of the Dolan Memory Care organization, suggesting multi-location management structure.

Located in a car-dependent area of Saint Louis County with Walk Score 16, the facility is in an isolated setting where most errands require a car. Few nearby services are walkable.

Families evaluating Dolan Memory Care at Calais should request details regarding private-pay costs, physician availability protocols, specific therapeutic approaches for memory care, staff training in dementia care, respite care arrangements, and family support offerings before enrollment.
