- The Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) operates a public bus system in the area that services Dayton and all its surrounding suburbs. This makes it easy for seniors to get to doctor's appointments, malls, and other attractions outside of the inner city.

Despite the high crime rates, seniors living in facilities are generally protected by security measures like cameras, guards, and alarms.
- Temperatures in Dayton are moderate with summer highs of 87 and winter lows of 22. The city only sees 176 sunny days annually, 71 days less than the national average of 205. Seniors may want to ask staff about activities to keep them occupied during inclement weather.
