Memory Care: what you're actually buying
Memory care is a secured, structured setting with dementia-trained staff for residents who wander, need extra cueing, or are no longer safe in standard assisted living.
Michigan has no separate memory-care license; dementia care is delivered within a Home for the Aged or Adult Foster Care setting, with dementia-trained staff and disclosure of the specific dementia-care services offered. A typical monthly range is $4,800 to $6,800 a month.
Before you tour, know what actually predicts quality:
- that the specific secured unit is disclosed and staffed as a dementia-care setting
- how many dementia-training hours staff have completed, and how recently
- the awake-overnight ratio in the secured unit specifically
