No. Wisconsin requires neither a separate memory-care state certification nor a formal statutory disclosure-statement requirement specific to dementia care. What's marketed as 'memory care' is almost always a CBRF or RCAC that has documented dementia as an admissible client group in its DHS program statement.
More detail
This is genuinely different from states that use a formal Type A/B-style memory-care certification or a mandated written dementia-disclosure form -- don't assume Wisconsin works the same way another state's website describes. Because there's no separate certificate to look for, the more useful document is the facility's own DHS program statement, required under Wis. Admin. Code DHS 83.06(1)(e), which identifies which client groups (including dementia) the facility is equipped to serve and how it manages compatibility if it serves more than one group at once. Ask to see this document directly rather than searching for a credential that doesn't exist in Wisconsin's regulatory system.
