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.
We list 2 verified memory care options serving the Historic Concordia area.
What to watch for with memory care near Historic Concordia
- Ask to see the community's DHS program statement and confirm dementia is listed as an admissible client group, since Wisconsin has no separate memory-care certificate to ask for.
- Ask specifically about wandering and exit-seeking. Secured courtyards, door alarms and staffing patterns vary far more than brochures suggest.

What the contract does that the tour does not
The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.
