Brookdale Kettering in Dayton, OH, does one thing, assisted living, and the Kettering neighborhood is where it stands. A resident gets help with dressing, medication, and bathing while still living in a private apartment.
With 55 beds, the community counts as a smaller home, and staff and residents get the chance to know each other. That suits someone who wants a more intimate space to live. Studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments are the housing choices.
Respite care covers a brief stay when the usual caregiver has to get through some business of their own. Pets can come along too. A salon, a spa, rehabilitation services, religious services, and transportation are available, and Brain Fit is the community’s signature program.
The Walk Score of 43 is car-dependent. Residents who have stopped driving would need a ride for most errands.
