Is memory care the same as assisted living?

No. SNALR is a dementia certification added to an assisted living license; a building can be assisted living without being certified for memory care.

How do you confirm a community's memory care is certified?

Look for SNALR beds in the state record. If the SNALR count is zero, the community is not certified for dementia care no matter what its brochure calls the unit.

New York does not license memory care separately; SNALR is the certification. See how New York regulates memory care.
