“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 started working at Dolan Memory Care homes in November of 2011. Until this point, I was a stay-at-home mother to my twins, Mason and Madison. It was around this time that the company my husband worked for closed their doors. With him out of a job, I knew we both needed to try and find a
job. My aunt Tammy was a nurse manager for Dolan at the time, and she was able to help me with my start at Dolan. I started out as a care partner working at Calais. I loved my role and working with the residents and making the most of their days. I was in that role for about 3 and a half years when my twins, Mason and Madison, were going to be starting school. I decided then, that I would much rather work a Monday-Friday position, however, I did not want to leave Dolan. When a position in the maintenance department became available, I jumped at the opportunity. I have always been a hands-on person. I grew up helping out on job sites as my own daddy’s little helper. So, I knew my way around tools. Keeping up with the houses and making sure our residents had a clean and well-functioning home to live in became my priority and passion. I was in this role for 8 and a half years. I have now been with the company over 12 years.

With the construction side of my role was over, I again decided that I was ready for a change, and that I could make a difference in another role for the company. In November of 2023, I was presented to
opportunity to become the new face of HR. This would be a big change in my role with the company, but I knew I was up for the challenge. So, I put the keys to my mower away and I claimed my new office!

On the weekends, you can find me at the lake with my family, where we have a small cabin on a little piece of property. This is our home away from home. We love the outdoors and spending quality time with good friends and family. I am 36 years young, married to my high school sweetheart for 14 years now, and mother to 14 year old twins.

Silvana Hutchinson

My name is Silvana Hutchison. I am from Spain, I was born in Peru, but my parents moved to Spain when I was seven years old. When I was 17 years old my parents asked me if I wanted to go to the USA for my senior year so I could learn English and become bilingual. I said yes, I didn’t even think how hard was going to be, and how I was going to manage to be here without speaking any English, but I did.

I came here in 1999 and it was one of the best years of my life even with the language barrier. I never gave up, I always found ways to make it work, met amazing people along the way, and decided to stay.

I earned my bachelor’s degree from Northwestern Oklahoma State University in E-Commerce and a minor in Mathematics, and I received my Real Estate License in 2012.

Many of my strengths come from my experiences and education. I am a hardworking individual with an excellent code of morals and a strong work ethic I developed when I was young. My parents taught me to always try my best and be the best I can be in everything I do.

I have 18 years of experience in Client and Product services in different industries. I feel honored to be here at Dolan Memory Care and to help hire the best care partners for our residents.

Above all, I am family-oriented and my husband and I enjoy watching and cheering our two daughters, 10 and 11 years old, and our 5-year-old son in all the sports they do!

Mindy Schmittgens

Mindy grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Missouri (Mizzou), as well as a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Saint Louis University with a specialization in Gerontology.  Inspired by her two grandmothers who were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Mindy completed her practicum at Dolan Memory Care Homes, where she began her career as a Social Worker. She later transitioned into Human Resources as an HR Generalist and currently serves as Business Office Manager.

Shannon Sobeck

I grew up in Saint Louis and I graduated from Lindbergh High School. Following that, I attended Southeast Missouri State University and graduated with a dual degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice and a minor in Social Work. Soon after graduating from college, I wanted to take a break from the Midwest and moved to California. Unsure of the career I wanted to pursue but knowing I wanted to be in the helping/social services profession, I entered the field as a case manager working with individuals struggling with being unhoused, substance use, and reentry. Once COVID-19 hit, I was uncertain of what was to come so I returned to my hometown of Saint Louis. Upon returning, I worked with youth as a behavioral therapist for about 3 years. I have an appreciation and passion for working with/helping individuals of all ages and walks of life, so when I came across the opportunity to work with Dolan Memory Care it seemed like a great fit.

I returned to school for my master’s degree in Social Work at Mizzou Online where I am currently a master’s student. I will be graduating with my master’s degree is Spring 2025. 

Outside of work and school, I enjoy spending my time engaging is self-care like Pilates, yoga, taking my dog for walks/hikes, and spending time with family and friends. 

In my time at Dolan Memory Care, I love the person-centered care Dolan Memory Care provides to its residents. I appreciate getting to know my residents on a personal level, getting to know their history and life stories, and getting to spend time with them. I have experience working in various different residential settings, and none of them have felt quite like “home” like Dolan has. 

Kendra Shelton

Kendra has been a nurse for over 15 years mainly in geriatrics. She has worked in pediatrics too. She feels, “nursing is my purpose in life.” Kendra takes care of people like how she would treat her own family. When compared to other long term communities, she loves the intimacy at Dolan, “working at nursing homes you may have over 100 residents in a facility, but you do not know them as well as you do at Dolan.” 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.

A fun fact about Max is he has seen Phish in concert 29 times!

Stephanie Little

Stephanie’s experience with Dolan started in 2013 when her grandmother moved in as a resident, leading her to decide to dedicate her career path to memory care and chose Dolan as the site of her internship in 2015. She spent the summer of 2016 as a care partner, and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Human and Family Development and a minor in Psychology in 2017. She spent two years as Memory Care Coordinator at another facility, but decided to return to Dolan due to missing the person-centered model and work environment that Dolan exhibited.

In May 2022 she enrolled in St. Louis College of Health Careers.

Prior to becoming a nurse, I was a valet in the old sense of the word. I worked for the families of the Crescent in Clayton as an individual who could assist with routine tasks and errands.
I have numerous hobbies and interests that I follow. I’m a big sports and motor racing fan. I play electric guitar often and after 20+ years of playing I’m finally shopping for an acoustic. I enjoy building computers, studying coding languages, racing go karts, going to Carlyle lake with my family. Lately my favorite thing to do is sit on the front porch in the evening as my daughter Penny watches and talks to the cars passing by. I have hundreds of photos and videos on my phone of Penny and love to show everyone.
I attended Vianney and Lindbergh High School in 2000 to 2004. I attended Webster University seeking a degree in Public Relations after high school but did not take advantage of my degree. 10 years later I enrolled in nursing school which I found much more interesting.

Robert

Robert always goes above and beyond. He shows compassion and love towards the residents every single day. His relationship with Lolo (resident) specifically stands out. Lolo may be having difficulty wanting to do something—go to lunch, go to the bathroom immediately. He always has a loving and patient approach, providing gentle touch, redirection, and overall just showing love and kindness to a resident that may be in distress. He shows exemplary attitude when working with other staff, families, and residents. There was one time he was cooking dinner and Laura (dietician) was in the house and was asking him why he was cooking a certain meat when the menu said otherwise. Instead of getting defensive or upset, he was immediately open to feedback. Laura and Robert had a great, open conversation about how to cook things a certain way and how to locate the recipes more easily/use meats in different ways. It was a great teamwork approach. A colleague shares, Robert has a “great attitude, great teamwork and always willing to go the extra mile!”. Robert is from St. Louis with a family of 3 brothers and sisters. In his free time, he loves to shop, but admits he is a home-body! He has been working in health care for about 2 years. Prior to joining Dolan, he worked in skilled nursing home.
