The official term for these facilities in Montana is Assisted Living Facility. In order to maintain certain standards for care, they are licensed and regulated by the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services.

Families worried about this may want to inquire about the security features available at memory care facilities, such as alarms, high-tech locks and cameras.
