    Overpriced unclean nursing home vibe

    I lived here and was disappointed. It's overpriced, feels like a nursing home, had parts shuttered last year, and suffers from poor cleanliness and rude nurses — a few staff try to engage residents but overall the quality is low and residents aren't very active.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment from the reviews leans negative, with a mix of a few positive notes about staff effort but multiple significant concerns about care quality, cleanliness, and facility stability. While some reviewers say staff are helpful and that employees attempt to engage residents, a larger set of comments highlights troubling issues that substantially affect the perceived quality of the community.

    Care quality and staffing present a mixed but worrisome picture. On the positive side, reviewers specifically mention helpful staff and that employees try to engage residents, indicating there are caregivers who make an effort to connect and provide assistance. However, this is counterbalanced by explicit complaints of rude nurses and statements that overall quality is "very poor." The juxtaposition of helpers and rudeness suggests inconsistency in staff behavior or uneven training/oversight: some staff members may be attentive while others may provide substandard interpersonal care. Several reviews also describe the place as feeling like a nursing home, which can imply a more institutional, clinical approach rather than a homelike assisted living atmosphere.

    Facility condition and cleanliness are a clear area of concern. Reviews specifically call out poor cleanliness and hygiene problems. Additionally, there is mention that doors were shuttered last year and that the facility has been closed down, which raises red flags about operational stability, maintenance, and management follow-through. A shuttering or closure — even temporary — can exacerbate cleanliness and upkeep issues and can signal broader problems with ownership, licensing, or finances.

    Resident life and activities appear limited. Multiple comments indicate that residents are "not very active," although staff are reported to be attempting to engage them. That combination suggests that programming and social opportunities may exist in intent but are insufficient in frequency, variety, or effectiveness to keep residents consistently engaged. The "nursing home" feel reported by reviewers may also contribute to lower activity levels if the environment is more clinical and less social.

    Cost and value are another recurring complaint: reviewers specifically note that the community is more expensive than other options. When higher price is paired with reports of poor cleanliness, mixed staff behavior, limited resident engagement, and possible operational instability, perceived value declines. Prospective residents or families comparing options would likely view the price point as unjustified given the negative issues raised.

    Notably absent from the reviews are specific comments about dining, medical outcomes, specialty services, or recreational program details beyond staff engagement attempts. The presence of comments about shuttered doors and closure, however, is a significant operational concern that should be clarified before considering placement. Taken together, the pattern in these summaries points to a facility with some caring individuals on staff but with substantive problems in consistency of care, cleanliness, resident activity, and operational reliability.

    Given the mixture of helpful staff and serious negative reports, it would be prudent for anyone considering this community to verify the facility's current operational status, ask for recent inspection or licensing records, tour the premises in person to assess cleanliness and activity levels, and speak directly with multiple staff members and current residents or families to get a fuller, up-to-date picture. The reviews suggest potential, but also significant risks that should be resolved or explained by management before moving forward.

    About Livingston Care Center

    Livingston Care Center sits at 20 Livingston Ave in Dayton, Ohio, in a spot where some stores, restaurants, and a few other places aren't too far but it's a bit car dependent with a Walk Score® of 46, so most folks drive, and right now the building has about 50 resident rooms with 100 beds, plus some different spaces like a therapy room, ice cream parlor, and a big kitchen and dining room, and you see a mix of assisted living, memory care, independent living, and nursing home services here, all under the operation of Premier Health Care Management and connected to the Trinity Health Plan and some local Ohio plans. The staff at Livingston Care Center provides 24-hour nursing and personal care, with special programs like one-on-one counseling with certified clinicians, case management for social services, daily group counseling with trained leaders, and support for both mental health and substance use concerns, including youth programs, and while residents struggling with Alzheimer's or other dementias find spaces and activities meant to reduce confusion and wandering, everybody in the building gets chef-prepared nutritive meals, has access to residential care, and can join in special activities focusing on social, physical, mental, and emotional well-being, and the staff tends to get noticed for their friendly, joyful, and helpful nature around the community. The building is closing soon, so the team is serving residents based on census needs and giving at least 60 days' notice, but while doors are still open, they help folks relearn positive habits and life skills aimed at lifelong stability. People can find more about Livingston Care Center through their website, which lets families and seniors send messages, email the property, use a chat service, or look up other area facilities, and although online information is limited, there are phone lines and a contact form for further questions, plus a map view to see where the center sits in Dayton, and owners can claim or manage the listing too. The place has been known as a nursing and residential care facility and serves a broad area, with other locations under the same management in places like Fairborn, Fairfield, Bluffton, Chillicothe, and more, all of which offer various housing, care, and therapies for their residents.
