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.

Visit twice, at different hours
A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.
Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.
