Yes. Beehive Homes of Salem has 16 secure beds in DLBC’s November 2026 report, which covers every licensed bed, so the whole building operates as locked memory care.
Under R432-270-16 a secure unit is only allowed inside a Type II license, and each resident moving in signs a separate secure-unit agreement covering wander risk and the conditions for discharge. Read those two documents before the deposit.

What should we ask Beehive Homes of Salem before signing?
Ask what the facility changed after the Sep 4, 2025 citation under R432-270-14(6) (cna 24 hours), and who checks that the fix has held.
- Ask for the name of the registered nurse who signs assessments and how often that nurse is in the building.
- Ask how the secure unit is staffed overnight; the rule sets a floor of one direct-care worker inside at all times.
- Ask whether New Choices Waiver residents are accepted and what monthly room and board they pay out of pocket.
