Memory care has been at the heart of what we do since 1989. What we have built over more than three decades comes back to one belief: when you get the people right, everything else follows. Come find the warmth, the consistency, and the genuine care your family has been looking for.
Specialists in Memory Care since 1989, with the staffing, training, and heart to prove it every single day.
Daily support with what is hard, total freedom with what is not, and people who genuinely care about both.
When needs grow, your loved one stays. We support higher-acuity care for residents who require more extensive physical and medical assistance so no one has to face another difficult move.
Settle into a cozy studio or spacious suite and make it your own. Bring what matters most, arrange things the way you like, and let us take care of the rest. Three meals a day, laundry, housekeeping, and around-the-clock support are all included.
Bay Harbor of DeForest is a community where people find each other. Shared meals, a full activities calendar, music that stirs real memories, and neighbors who become genuine friends. And when care needs are higher, we are equipped to meet them. We accept residents with complex needs that many communities would not, because keeping your loved one in a familiar place matters.
Your comfort and your preferences shape everything here. Whether you want the quiet of your own room or the company of neighbors in one of our living rooms, the choice is always yours. This is your home, enjoy the perks of community living while enjoying the security of controlled access.
Rooted in a legacy that began with our founder, Delores Moyer, MSN, MBA, RN, a gerontology nurse practitioner who pioneered early clinical curriculum for the field, our approach to Memory Care is built on decades of expertise. We did not simply enter this field; we helped define it, and that clinical heritage guides how we select our staff, conduct our training, and support our residents. As specialists in Alzheimer’s and dementia, we provide tailored care plans that adapt to evolving needs, ensuring your loved ones receive exceptional, personalized attention from a dedicated team of trained caregivers. Our commitment to high caregiver-to-resident ratios sets us apart, guaranteeing the unwavering support and specialized care your family deserves.
Higher staffing is not a tagline here. It is a commitment that means your loved one sees a familiar, trained face every single day, not an agency fill-in. We invest in our people because we know they are what makes the difference between care that is adequate and care that is genuinely good.

“From my first visit to Bay Harbor of DeForest, I was impressed by not only the warmth of the facility but the genuine friendliness of the staff. I took my Mother to also tour the premises and look at what could possibly be their new apartment. Mom was just as impressed as I was, so in March, she and my sister became residents of Bay Harbor of DeForest.”
