Brookdale Kettering
Brookdale Kettering offers assisted living and independent living in Dayton, OH. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication management while the resident keeps a private living space. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, so having both options can suit someone whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community.
The community has 55 beds, a size where residents and staff can get to know one another. Housing includes studios, homes with one bedroom, and homes with two bedrooms. A studio provides one private space, while a two bedroom option can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.
Respite care offers short stays for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel, recover, or take a break. A Walk Score of 43 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. Residents can use the pool and fitness center for exercise, while the salon and spa provide personal grooming services on site; pets are allowed, and wheelchair accessibility supports residents who use mobility devices in moving through the community.
