MorningStar at Dayton sits in a quieter residential area and offers a range of senior living options, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so folks find spaces like shared quarters and studio apartments, with special Companion Living suites for people who don't mind sharing with another of the same , and each unit has safe features like grab bars, non-slip floors, and ADA-compliant bathrooms for safety. People who need memory care or have Alzheimer's get extra support from specially trained caregivers, who look after their safety with things like secured areas and keypad entries to keep folks from wandering, plus there's 24/7 security and a comprehensive emergency call system-this means both peace of mind and help day or night.
Residents can get physical therapy, rehabilitation, and massage therapy right there, plus help with transferring, incontinence, and dressing, bathing, or grooming if moving around is tricky, and the staff handles medication help, insulin shots, and two-person transfer needs when needed. There's a licensed nurse on-site for emergencies and regular doctor checkups, so care plans can be adjusted as needs change. The food comes from chef-inspired menus, served home-style, in a restaurant setting with snacks and pureed meal options all day, and special diets for people with diabetes or high blood pressure aren't a problem.
The community feels active and lively, with events and movie nights, group outings, exercise classes, and creative pursuits such as arts and crafts, music, and board games. Folks really like the walking paths out in the landscaped gardens, patios, and spaces for gardening, and there are rooms for fitness, spa, sauna, and a reading library, plus a computer area and a theater room for entertainment. People also get help with housekeeping, linen changes, laundry (there's a private laundry service), and home maintenance, along with scheduled moves.
Families find comfort in daily social events, counseling meetings, support groups, and flexible visiting hours, plus the bistro-style dining and group celebrations for special occasions. Amenities include parking, transportation to doctor visits, shopping, and even religious services, while the concierge manages odd requests and scheduled outings. Residents who love pets can bring their dog or cat.
