dementia unit

Cognitive care floor

A dementia unit is a specialized section of a hospital, nursing home, or assisted living facility designed for patients with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia.

These units typically feature secured exits to prevent wandering, simplified layouts, and staff trained in memory care: Her father was moved to the dementia unit after he started getting lost in the hallways.
