Our read on Widows Home Of Dayton

Widows Home of Dayton is run by a for-profit limited liability company and holds 75 certified beds. Its overall nurse staffing of 4.06 hours per resident day sits modestly above the national figure, but weekends run roughly 15% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover of 56.8% is well above the 45.8% national average, you're looking at a workforce that's above-average in size on paper but churning fast. The inspection record is the harder problem: 36 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and two fines totaling $48,833, with the last inspection in May 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and health inspection results don't.
