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.

What the contract does that the tour does not
