Memory Care
Memory care is secured, specialized support for people living with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias: trained caregivers, structured days, and environments designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering. It is often a neighborhood inside an assisted living community and is licensed under the same state rules, with added training and safety requirements.
