More than 15 percent of Stoughton's 15,000 residents are aged 65 or older. A significant number of seniors in the area require supportive services and residential care for dementia disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease, which affects an estimated 110,000 seniors throughout Wisconsin.

There are two memory care facilities in Stoughton that provide such care to seniors in the area. These facilities are closely regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, which classifies memory care facilities as assisted living facilities. Because both levels of care are subject to a similar set of rules, they're often both provided in the same location.
