Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living that focuses on the unique needs of individuals with memory impairments. Unlike standard assisted living, memory care facilities offer tailored programs that enhance quality of life and provide a safe, structured environment with things like medication management, locked entryways in and out of the facility and other safety measures.

Security is paramount. Memory care units are often designed with safety features to prevent wandering and reduce the risk of injury. This includes secured entrances and exits.
