About Diocesan Health Facilities
Diocesan Health Facilities (DHFO) operates five skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities—Catholic Memorial Home (Fall River), Madonna Manor (North Attleboro), Marian Manor (Taunton), Our Lady’s Haven (Fairhaven), and Sacred Heart Home (New Bedford)—under separate legal entities, with centralized oversight and management provided by DHFO.
Founded within the context of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River, DHFO has roots tied to religious sponsorship and care. The chain was originally established in 1940. Individual facilities were founded across decades: Sacred Heart Home (1920), Catholic Memorial Home (1939), Our Lady’s Haven (1945), Marian Manor (1962), and Madonna Manor (1966). The EldersFirst care management program, aimed at community-based support and in-home geriatric consulting, began in 1995.
DHFO is a nonprofit, church-related organization, under the auspices of the Diocese, providing both institutional skilled nursing and community-based services. It is not publicly traded and does not appear to be part of a REIT or private equity structure.
The operator’s footprint is limited to southeastern Massachusetts (Bristol County and surrounding areas), encompassing five facilities serving approximately 848 residents total, with ancillary programs such as EldersFirst supporting elders living at home.
DHFO is known for integrating spiritual care into its services, maintaining accreditation by the Joint Commission, and being Medicaid- and Medicare-certified. It also emphasizes its holistic approach rooted in Catholic values.
