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.

Who is actually on shift
Ask how many caregivers and med aides are on the floor at 3 a.m., not the building-wide daytime ratio. Ask what happens when someone calls in sick, and whether the community uses agency staff to fill gaps.
Ask how long the administrator has been in post. Turnover at the top is one of the better predictors of turnover below it.
