For seniors with Alzheimer's disease and various forms of dementia, the city has three memory care facilities. Another 29 can be found in nearby communities including Brookfield, Pewaukee and New Berlin.
The Wisconsin Department of Health, Bureau of Assisted Living manages assisted living facilities in the state, referred to as community-based residential facilities (CBRFs). Facilities who offer care to people with dementia must provide specialized training to staff.
