Boston families can use CMS-listed hospitals for acute, psychiatric, and specialty care when a loved one with memory loss needs a hospital stay. CMS publishes each hospital's name, address, type, ownership, and overall star rating, and it does not publish whether any hospital has a dedicated memory or geriatric unit.
Use this guide alongside the Boston care overview when you are comparing local medical and in-home options.

Do these hospitals have dedicated memory or geriatric units?
CMS does not publish whether a hospital has a dedicated memory or geriatric unit, so Boston families should confirm that directly with each hospital.
Ask whether geriatric medicine, neurology, or another specialized service will be involved, and ask how staff will document dementia-related needs. A listing on this page is not a claim that a hospital operates a memory unit, and it is not an endorsement of any hospital.
