No. Indiana requires a written Alzheimer's and Dementia Special Care Disclosure under Indiana Code 12-10-5.5, not a separate state certification. Communities must file the disclosure and meet training requirements, but there is no distinct 'certified memory care' license to check for.
What this means in practice
The disclosure requirement, tightened by a July 1, 2023 amendment, requires direct-care staff in a locked or segregated dementia unit to complete 12 hours of dementia-specific training initially and 6 hours annually, with fines up to $10,000 for violations. Ask to see the actual disclosure document on a tour -- it should describe staffing patterns, physical design (secured exits, alarmed doors), and the training program by name. A community that markets 'memory care' but cannot produce this document, or is vague about training hours, has not met Indiana's own minimum bar.
