No. CareScout does not survey memory care as a separate category in its Cost of Care Survey, so there is no authoritative statewide or Cleveland-area memory care median. Any memory care price quoted online should be treated as an estimate rather than survey-backed data.
The detail behind the number
Memory care pricing is one of the trickiest numbers to pin down honestly, precisely because the most-cited cost survey in the industry, CareScout's, simply doesn't break memory care out as its own line item the way it does assisted living or nursing home care.
In practice, memory care in Ohio typically costs more than standard assisted living because of the additional staffing, secured environment, and specialized programming, but there's no published statewide median to point to for a precise dollar figure.
Families evaluating a specific memory care unit in Cuyahoga or Lake County should ask directly for an itemized quote, including any additional fees tied to the special care unit's disclosed staffing and programming, rather than relying on any national estimate found online.
