Is Memory Care Licensed Separately in Ohio?

No -- Ohio does not issue a wholly separate license for memory care the way some states do. Instead, memory care is addressed primarily through a specific disclosure requirement layered on top of a facility's standard assisted living (residential care facility) license, which requires communities marketing themselves as memory care to disclose specific information about their staffing, programming, and physical environment. This is a detail worth understanding before assuming "licensed memory care" means the same thing in Ohio that it might mean elsewhere.
