Overview of The Cottages of Clayton

The Cottages of Clayton is an assisted living community in Dayton, OH. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while allowing a resident to maintain a private living space, so the community may suit someone who needs that support in a residential setting. It has 90 beds.

Private suites include full baths. Companion suites can work for two people moving together or for a resident who prefers a shared arrangement. Beauty shop services and a salon or spa are available for grooming appointments, while transportation lets residents use community provided rides instead of arranging every trip themselves.

Communal dining includes menus organized by a dietician and shaped by residents’ likes and dislikes. Meals can be modified for diets and allergies, and snacks are available 24 hours a day. Rehabilitation services are available for residents who need rehabilitative support, and Medicaid is accepted as a payment option for eligible residents.
