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).
