Questions Cleveland families ask

What is adult day care and how does it work in the Cleveland area?

Adult day care provides supervised daytime programming, meals, and social or health-related activities for seniors, typically allowing a family caregiver to work or rest during the day while a parent returns home each evening. Ohio's PASSPORT waiver covers adult day care as one of its supported services, and the 2025 CareScout survey puts the Ohio median cost at $1,798 a month ($83 a day).

How do I know when memory care becomes necessary instead of staying in standard assisted living?

The signal is usually a change in safety risk rather than the diagnosis itself, wandering, exit-seeking behavior, an inability to recognize danger, or care needs a standard RCF isn't staffed or secured to manage safely. Because Ohio doesn't certify memory care separately, the decision comes down to a facility's own assessment against its documented special care unit criteria, part of the OAC 3701-16-07(F)(5) disclosure, rather than a state-defined threshold.

What does the Ohio Department of Health license, and what law covers it?

The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) licenses Residential Care Facilities (RCFs), the single license type that covers nearly all assisted living and memory care communities in Ohio, along with nursing homes, home health agencies, and hospice. RCF licensing is governed by Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3721 and Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 3701-16. Nursing homes fall under a separate rule chapter, OAC 3701-17, so the two license types are not interchangeable.
