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.

What to watch for with memory care near Story Hill
- 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.
