Memory care is secured, dementia-specific assisted living. In Ohio it is not a separate license — a facility running a special care unit must provide a written disclosure under OAC 3701-16-07(F)(5) covering staffing, training, programming, costs and physical design.

Short answer

We list 2 verified memory care options in Beachwood, Ohio. Assisted living and memory care in Ohio are licensed under a single Residential Care Facility license, and memory care additionally requires a written special care unit disclosure rather than a separate certification.

What to watch for with memory care in Beachwood

  • Ask to see the special care unit disclosure, not the RCF license. Any community can market to dementia families; only a genuine special care unit must produce this document.

The Beachwood market specifically

Beachwood sits in the East Side inner-suburb corridor close to Cleveland Clinic's main campus and University Hospitals, historically home to a concentrated supply of senior housing and skilled nursing.

The concentration of communities near Cleveland Clinic's main campus makes Beachwood a common choice for families managing a parent with a complex medical history requiring frequent specialist follow-up.

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, and what happens if the resident exceeds the RCF's 120-day skilled-nursing cap.

Ask for a blank copy to take home before you are asked to sign anything. A community that will not provide one has told you something useful.

You can check any Ohio facility's record free. Use the ODH Licensed Facilities Search for current license status and inspection history, and the Ohio Department of Aging's Long-Term Care Quality Navigator for consumer-facing detail. Assisted living is not CMS star-rated. Read the full explanation →

Questions Cleveland families ask

What are Ohio's income and asset limits for nursing home Medicaid in 2025?

As of 2025, the income limit for a single applicant is $2,901 per month, 300 percent of the SSI federal benefit rate, and the asset limit is $2,000 for a single applicant or $3,000 combined for a couple where both need care. A community spouse can keep between $31,267 and $148,620 in countable assets under the Community Spouse Resource Allowance. These figures adjust annually and should be confirmed with the Ohio Department of Medicaid or an elder law attorney.

How do I actually apply for Medicaid long-term care coverage in Ohio?

Applications go through the Ohio Department of Medicaid at benefits.ohio.gov, or families can contact the Area Agency on Aging serving their county for help with a waiver assessment and to get on any relevant waiting list. Applicants need to meet both the nursing-facility level-of-care clinical standard and the state's non-MAGI financial eligibility rules.

What is Medicaid Estate Recovery in Ohio, and can the state take my parent's house?

Ohio's Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP) is a federally required program that recovers certain Medicaid long-term care payments from a deceased recipient's estate, for recipients 55 or older or of any age if permanently institutionalized. Ohio is an "expanded recovery" state, meaning assets passing outside probate, like transfer-on-death deeds or joint survivorship property, can be subject to recovery too. Recovery is delayed while a surviving spouse, minor child, or blind or disabled child lives in the home, and hardship waivers are evaluated case by case.

Does Ohio Medicaid pay for room and board in assisted living?

No. The Assisted Living Waiver pays only for personal care and supportive services delivered by the facility's staff; room and board is the resident's own responsibility, capped at the SSI federal benefit rate minus a $50 personal needs allowance. This is true across Ohio's long-term care Medicaid programs: PASSPORT and MyCare Ohio also do not cover room and board in any residential setting.
