Memory care is secured, dementia-specific assisted living. Ohio certifies memory care specifically for Residential Care Facilities serving residents under the Assisted Living Waiver (OAC 173-39-02.16); private-pay memory care units are not certified the same way.
We list 4 verified memory care options serving the College Hill area.
What to watch for with memory care near College Hill
- Ask to see the community's written memory-care purpose statement, or its waiver memory-care certification if it holds one.
- Ask specifically about wandering and exit-seeking. Secured courtyards, door alarms and staffing patterns vary far more than brochures suggest.

Before you sign anything
Get the all-in monthly cost in writing at your parent's current assessed care level, ask what triggers the next care level and what it costs, and ask for the rate increase history across the last three years. Communities that will not put these in writing are telling you something.
Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not, which means a second move at the worst possible time.
