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 3 verified memory care options serving the Westwood area.
What to watch for with memory care near Westwood
- 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.

What the contract does that the tour does not
The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.
