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.

The Mequon market specifically
Mequon is the largest city in Ozaukee County, an affluent lakefront community anchored by an Ascension Columbia St. Mary's Ozaukee hospital campus, supporting multiple continuing-care campuses along the northern lakefront.
Families searching Mequon often also look at Whitefish Bay to the south and Cedarburg to the north, spanning both Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties.
The question about money nobody asks early enough
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 participate at all, which converts a funding problem into a forced move at the worst possible moment.
