Overview of Dayton Care Center

Dayton Care Center is an assisted living community operated by Dayton Care Operations LLC in downtown Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving individuals living with physical and mental disabilities in Kenosha County. The community is also known for its strong support for U.S. veterans since its licensing in May 2023. With a 90-bed capacity, it is one of the larger assisted living options in the Kenosha area. Currently, 70 of 90 beds are occupied, suggesting a 78% occupancy rate that is higher than the Wisconsin statewide average.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has conducted a total of seven inspections, six of which were complaint-initiated, and has accumulated a total of 18 deficiencies.

To understand the findings and measures taken for improvements, families are encouraged to request and review full inspection reports.

The community offers a range of services, including room and board, domestic support, licensed nursing care, 24-hour staffing, social services, and transportation access. Notably, its dining program includes three meals each day, along with snacks. Off-site dining outings, a few times each month, are also curated to add variety and foster social engagement. The activity schedule is well developed, with at least four recreational options offered each weekday, along with special programming for holidays and events. To foster a sense of purpose and connection, volunteer opportunities are also available.

Dayton Care Center is well-suited for older adults in the Kenosha area, particularly veterans and those with physical or mental disabilities, seeking a structured and supportive living environment with active programming and access to licensed nursing care.
