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.
We list 2 verified memory care options in Solon, 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 Solon
- 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 Solon market specifically
Solon sits near the Cuyahoga-Summit-Portage county lines in southeastern Cuyahoga County, geographically closer to some Akron-area commuting patterns than to downtown Cleveland.
Solon families sometimes find it worth comparing options in nearby Summit County suburbs as well, since the drive is often shorter than to some Cuyahoga County communities, even though the county line changes which Area Agency on Aging and ombudsman region applies.
Who is actually on shift
Ask how many caregivers and med aides are on the floor at 3 a.m., not the building-wide daytime ratio. Ask what happens when someone calls in sick, and whether the community uses agency staff to fill gaps. Agency coverage is not disqualifying, but heavy reliance on it changes continuity in ways families feel.
Ask how long the administrator has been in post. Turnover at the top is one of the better predictors of turnover below it.
