What to Consider About Memory Care in Dayton

The Ohio Department of Health regulates all residential care centers in the state, including memory care facilities. Every facility in Ohio receives at least one inspection every nine to 15 months. At each inspection, the DOH evaluates all aspects of the facility’s care and service to ensure they’re in accordance with state standards.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Dayton

  • Dayton has a true four-season climate, with average highs near 90 in the summer and average lows down to 21 in the winter. Spring and fall tend to be mild and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from the 50s to the 70s. 
  • Crime rates in Dayton are substantially higher than the average U.S. city. Fortunately, most memory care facilities feature abundant security, including secure entrances, video surveillance, alarms and staff members, so residents are far less likely than the average citizen to encounter crime.
  • The greater Dayton area is home to 15 hospitals, many of which excel in certain areas of medicine that are important to seniors. Kettering Medical Center offers top-of-the-line cancer treatment along with state-of-the-art technology for cardiac care.
  • Dayton’s cost of living is significantly lower than the national average, with an index of 71.4 compared to the national 100. Health care, groceries and transportation all cost much less on average in Dayton than in a typical U.S. city. Housing costs in Dayton, with an index of only 21.9, are some of the least expensive of any metro area in the country.
  • The air quality index in Dayton is rated 43 compared to the national average of 58, which could be an issue for seniors with asthma or other respiratory issues.
  • While Dayton lacks a robust public transportation system, the community is taking steps to provide options for seniors who can no longer drive. One such option is the Miami Valley Ride Finder, which is staffed by volunteers who drive seniors to doctor appointments, stores and other errands.
