Memory care is secured, dementia-specific assisted living. In Minnesota, memory care requires a distinct MDH license — "assisted living facility with dementia care" — not merely a disclosure or voluntary certification; any community operating a secured dementia unit must hold this specific license under Minn. Stat. 144G.10, subd. 2(b).

What to watch for with memory care near Kenwood
- Ask to see the community's MDH "assisted living facility with dementia care" license directly, by name.
- Ask specifically about wandering and exit-seeking. Secured courtyards, door alarms and staffing patterns vary far more than brochures suggest.
