Forest View Care and Rehabilitation Center
323 FOREST AVENUE, Dayton, OH, 45405
Dayton is a bustling metropolitan city in Ohio that’s ideal for veterans due to the tax laws in the state. In addition to being an affordable area to live, there are also 29 hospitals within close range of the city center. The Dayton VA Medical Center, The Rehabilitation Institute of Ohio and Miami Valley Hospital have good reputations, with the latter coming first in the U.S. News list of hospitals in the city. Despite a relatively low cost of living in Dayton, nursing home costs are quite high.
According to Genworth’s 2020 Cost of Care Survey, the national average price of a semiprivate room in a nursing home is $7,756, whereas it’s almost $1,000 more in Dayton, at $8,699. However, older adults in nursing homes can expect around-the-clock access to skilled medical care from a registered nurse as well as help with daily activities. Seniors who don’t require 24/7 skilled care can also consider home health care or assisted living, which are cheaper and less intensive.
This guide explores the price of nursing homes in Dayton and Ohio in comparison with other types of elder care and provides some useful local resources for seniors.
