Memory care is secured, dementia-specific assisted living. Wisconsin does not license or certify “memory care” as its own facility type. What is marketed as memory care is almost always a CBRF (or RCAC) that has designated dementia as an admissible client group in its required DHS program statement and provided the client-group-specific staff training that Wisconsin's CBRF rule (DHS 83.21(2)) requires within 90 days of hire.
No verified memory care provider is currently based in Brookfield. The closest verified options are listed below.

The Brookfield market specifically
Brookfield is an affluent western suburb with a significant senior-living and medical-office concentration along the Bluemound Road/Highway 18 corridor, giving families here a wide range of higher-end assisted living and memory care options.
Families comparing Brookfield communities often also look at Wauwatosa to the east, given the short drive between the two along Bluemound Road.
Before you sign anything
Get the all-in monthly cost in writing at your parent's current assessed care level, ask what triggers the next care level and what it costs, and ask for the rate increase history across the last three years. Communities that will not put these in writing are telling you something.
Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not, which means a second move at the worst possible time.
