A memory care unit can be a stand alone facility or a secured part of an assisted living community, continuing care community, or skilled nursing facility. This care setting is intended for individuals with dementia and other cognitive impairments who are in need of specialized physical, social and daily care. Memory care communities feature security measures that safely prevent patients from wandering outside or off of the premises unattended.
