“As long as people have a need, and I can provide a place, I’ll keep doing it.”

-Tim Dolan, Founder

A person residing in a dementia care center near Clayton, MO

Tim Dolan

Tim Dolan saw a challenge that needed to be addressed: care for those suffering with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias More than 5 million Americans are living with the disease – Every 67 seconds someone in the U.S. develops Alzheimer’s which is currently the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S. The numbers are staggering and at present there is no cure. As an innovator, Tim has been involved in memory care for over 25 years. He has had significant influence in changing the perception of the disease along with fostering vast improvement in resources that are now available to families.

Dolan Memory Care Homes (DMCH) specializes in the care of those living with Alzheimer’s disease or related disorders. DMCH are not a wing or a floor in a skilled facility, or a new building on a large campus; but rather small households within residential communities accommodating ten or fewer residents. When Tim built his first home in 1993 there were very few placement options available for families. As a consumer himself, he was shocked by the limited long term care choices available to families struggling with the disease which at the time were merely locked down wards within conventional nursing homes.

Allison Dolan-Boschert

Allison has been with Dolan Memory Care for over 20 years, serving in roles ranging from Care Partner and Activities Director to Nurse Manager. She now works primarily in admissions as a Nurse Consultant and also partners with Dr. Kamlesh Vyas as a Geriatric Nurse Practitioner, caring for many Dolan residents.

Known for her empathy and creativity, Allison embraces the philosophy of stepping into each resident’s reality. She recalls helping one resident “prepare” for her children’s return from school each afternoon—tidying the house, folding towels, and making snacks—until the need passed. “Some days I’m Allison, other days Angie, occasionally a daughter or old neighbor—and it’s all okay,” she says.

Allison believes Dolan’s success lies in the little things—knowing how each resident takes their coffee, what makes them smile, and creating a safe environment where independence is nurtured. “Living at Dolan is the ultimate customer service experience. The residents are always right.”

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and Chemistry from the University of Missouri-Columbia, and both her BSN and MSN as an Adult Geriatric Nurse Practitioner from Goldfarb School of Nursing, where she graduated as valedictorian. She was named a Mission Champion by Memory Care Home Solutions (2017) and a Woman in Business by The Jewish Light (2018).

Allison is mom to five kids—Lucy, Winnie, Fitz, Trip, and Millie—and a Vizsla named Archie. In her (limited) spare time, she enjoys reading, hiking, gardening, pickleball, and planning national park vacations. Her golf handicap is “five kids.”

Steve Vicalvi

Dolan Memory Care Homes “unique and innovative approach to dementia care” guided Steve to join the team in 2020. Steve leads his peers through example. Steve is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and help out in any way—from offering guidance and leadership to nurses and care partners to providing direct care with residents. During college, Steve was instrumental in taking care of his grandmother in her home, who suffered from dementia.

His hands-on-care for his family member sparked his interest to pursue health care. He started in medical records and shortly after, he began an administrator in training program. Steve has a wide range of experience working in assisted living, intermediate care facilities and skilled nursing facilities. He is originally from Illinois and moved to St. Louis about 10 years ago. While he isn’t working, he enjoys spending time with his family and daughter, reading, and playing golf.

Mike Enloe

Mike joined Dolan in January 2024 as the Admissions Coordinator, bringing with him nearly two decades of experience in healthcare and assisted living organizations throughout the St. Louis area. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with an emphasis in Gerontology from Lindenwood University. With a deep understanding of memory care and a wealth of knowledge about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, Mike is uniquely equipped to guide families through the admissions process. His empathy and expertise allow him to thoughtfully match residents and their loved ones with the Dolan home that best meets their needs.

Although he briefly stepped into an executive role outside of healthcare, his passion for serving older adults drew him back. When he learned of the opportunity at Dolan, he was eager to return to the field. As Mike puts it, “Everyone knows about Dolan. Their ground-breaking programs and excellent care are like no other organization in the industry.”

In his free time, Mike enjoys life with his wife Krista and their blended family of five children. Together, they share a love for sports and the outdoors, and often spend weekends at their lake property in southern Missouri.

Bill Vatterott

Bill Vatterott is proud to serve as the first Marketing Director in Dolan’s 30+ year history. He brings a lifelong passion for mission-driven work, having dedicated his entire career to the nonprofit sector. Prior to joining Dolan, Bill was the Director of Marketing and Programs at Rx Outreach, a national nonprofit digital pharmacy originally launched by Express Scripts. There, he helped create and expand an award-winning bridge medication program for individuals transitioning from prisons and jails.

A lifelong learner, Bill holds two Master’s degrees and most recently earned a Certificate in AI Marketing, underscoring his commitment to staying at the forefront of innovative strategies.

Bill’s connection to Dolan Memory Care is deeply personal—he became familiar with the organization through visits to loved ones who were residents. He was drawn to Dolan’s warm sense of family and its innovative, person-centered approach to memory care.

Outside of work, Bill is the proud father of two children. He and his wife are avid travelers who have both studied and worked abroad. Among his many interests, Bill is a dedicated beekeeper, an accomplished marathoner with 13 marathons—including two Boston Marathons—to his name, and a founding member of the Des Peres Historical Society.

Nina Rogers

Nina began working at Dolan Memory Care Homes in November 2011 after several years as a stay-at-home mother to her twins, Mason and Madison. With the help of her aunt, who was a nurse manager at Dolan, she started as a care partner at Calais and quickly grew to love making a difference in residents’ lives. After three and a half years, she transitioned into the maintenance department, where her hands-on skills and passion for creating safe, well-functioning homes served residents and families for more than eight years.

In 2023, Nina embraced a new challenge by stepping into the role of HR, bringing her dedication and care for both residents and staff into this next chapter at Dolan.

Outside of work, Nina enjoys weekends at the family’s lake cabin with her husband, high school sweethearts, and their 16-year-old twins. She loves the outdoors, quality time with loved ones, and creating memories with family and friends.

Silvana Hutchinson

Silvana Hutchison was born in Peru and raised in Spain before moving to the United States at 17 to learn English. What began as a challenging year abroad in 1999 became one of the best experiences of her life and inspired her to stay.

With 18 years of experience in client and product services across multiple industries, Silvana now serves Dolan Memory Care Homes with pride, helping hire compassionate care partners for residents. Outside of work, she and her husband enjoy supporting their three children in all of their sports and activities.

She later transitioned into Human Resources as an HR Generalist and currently serves as Business Office Manager.

Mindy enjoys blending her background in social work with her analytical skills and feels that working at Dolan is like being part of a family. Each role she’s held has been a meaningful and rewarding experience.

In her free time, she enjoys spending quiet time alone and watching her grandson. She proudly shares, “Being a grandparent is the best thing in the world.” She hopes to travel to Europe and cruise around to different cities.

Toni Dewhirst

Even in nursing school, Toni “always gravitated toward the older people, because they appreciate you so much”. After stints as Director of Nursing at conventional nursing facilities, she learned about Tim Dolan’s cozy, nonclinical approach, with 6 to 11 Residents per home.

When you know your patient that well – you know what they need.” At Dolan Memory Care Homes Toni oversees care for Residents with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia related disorders. The “Dolan Difference” is that the residents enjoy a restrain-free environment that is considerate of their wants and needs. By removing limits, restrictions and the word “NO”, residents feel more comfortable and exhibit less negative behaviors. It’s about what they can do, not what they can’t do. It’s amazing too, when we open up all the possibilities, what you can actually do with folks who have dementia. Who else would take 90 folks with dementia to a Prom! Life with Dementia can be meaningful and enjoyable. Families can stay intact and still have relationships as time goes on. This is what I enjoy most about my work at Dolan.

The best part about Max is he is always looking to grow and learn more. In his free time, he enjoys being outdoors fishing and hiking. He has plan to travel to the National Parks.

She has also served as a nurse preceptor, mentoring new nurses and sharing her deep commitment to hands-on, empathetic care.

Sharon’s passion for nursing is rooted in her love for people and her desire to build meaningful, personal connections. “Here at Dolan, I’m able to make those connections because of the non-clinical, home setting with just 6–11 residents. It’s like having a bonus family,” she says. “I get the chance to know each resident inside and out.”

Born and raised in Delaware, Sharon enjoys traveling—especially to the beach—cooking, gardening, and embracing new experiences that broaden her perspective.

Ryan Brouk

Ryan has been a nurse for seven years and became a nurse manager four years ago at another facility. Before his nursing career, Ryan worked as a valet in the traditional sense of the word, assisting families at the Crescent in Clayton with routine tasks and errands.

Ryan has a wide range of hobbies and interests, including sports, motor racing, playing guitar, building computers, studying coding languages, and racing go-karts. After more than 20 years of playing electric guitar, he is now shopping for his first acoustic. He also enjoys family time at Carlyle Lake and relaxing evenings on the porch while Penny happily watches cars go by—moments he treasures and captures in countless photos and videos.

Ryan and his wife are the proud father of a daughter, Penny, born in April 2023. He attended both Vianney and Lindbergh High School from 2000 to 2004 and later enrolled at Webster University, pursuing a degree in Public Relations. A decade later, he found his true calling in nursing and enrolled in nursing school, a path he has found deeply rewarding.
