History
Dol-Mar Manor opened in 2001. At that time, we had one staff member and one resident. Over the years, we have evolved to meet the needs of our clients. Some of these changes have included an on-call phone and increasing staff to provide support on evenings and weekends. We now have up to five families residing with us, five full-time staff and increased support from our Child Support Team as well.
In the early years, families could stay with us for 3 months. We soon realized that 3 months was not enough time. Thus, the stay length was expanded to 6-12 months, and is truly dependent on the needs of the woman and/or her children.
