Does Brookdale Pinnacle provide memory care?

Brookdale Pinnacle's ODH record does not register Alzheimer's disease services; if the community markets memory care, ask for the written special care unit policies Ohio requires before admission under OAC 3701-16-07(F)(5).

ODH does not issue a separate memory care license, so for private-pay families those written policies are the one document that spells out the unit's admission and discharge criteria, weekly staffing plan, staff training, activities, added costs and physical design.
