All 19 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Dayton,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Bethany Village runs on 4.23 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, though weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters more than the headline number if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 35.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. The inspection record is thin: two deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with a survey completed in January 2026. As a nonprofit with 227 beds, it carries five stars on both health inspections and quality measures.
Vienna Springs runs a 54-bed home in Dayton, and its staffing sits just barely over the national mark, 3.91 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That's not much cushion, and weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the margin gets thinner when it matters. Turnover is where it looks better: 38.6% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests less churn than many places. Six deficiencies on record, none at harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection in February 2025. Ownership is for-profit and individual. Federal quality measures score high; staffing scores middle.
Gem City runs 4.99 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86, that's real bedside coverage, though weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday level. The catch is inspections: 24 deficiencies on the current record and a 2-star health inspection rating, with the most recent survey dated July 1, 2025. None of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy, and none were abuse-related. Quality measures score 5 stars, but staffing stars sit at 2 despite the high hours, and the home is for-profit, owned by a limited liability company. Strong daily nurse time paired with a long deficiency list is the tension here.
Dunbar Health & Rehab Center runs 68 certified beds in Dayton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.38 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average of 3.86. That looks good on paper until you notice weekends run about 16% leaner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 62.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are cycling out fast. The current inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but three tied to abuse, with the last full inspection in May 2025. Quality measure scores are strong; the inspection picture is where the caution lives.
Siena Woods sits at 99 beds in Dayton, corporate-owned, and it was inspected in February 2026, so the record you're looking at is current. The staffing number is the catch: 3.88 nurse hours per resident day looks fine next to the national average of 3.86, but that average hides a 13% drop on weekends, and turnover runs 62.4% against a national 45.8%. That churn matters more than the headline hours. The 34 deficiencies include one at the harm level, though none are abuse-related. Quality measures score well; the inspection and staffing picture is more mixed.
Maria Joseph Living Care Center runs 266 certified beds in Dayton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its strongest numbers sit on the clinical side, the federal quality measures come in at the top of the scale. Staffing is a different story. At 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover of 40.8% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the workforce is comparatively stable even if it's thin. The current record shows 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in June 2023.
Carecore At Mary Scott runs 102 certified beds in Dayton under corporate for-profit ownership. Nurses provide 3.36 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 13 percent below the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 16 percent below the home's own weekday level, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 51.4 percent, higher than the national 45.8 percent, which means aides and nurses cycle through quickly. The inspection record shows 53 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. That history, not the five-star quality measure score, is what weighs heaviest here.
The Village At The Greene has 52 certified beds in Dayton and runs on a for-profit corporate model. Staffing sits at 4.21 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average of 3.86, but that same staff is turning over at 59.3% a year against a national 45.8%, so whoever's on the floor is often new. Weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below weekday levels. Its current inspection record carries 60 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with one fine of $14,505. The most recent inspection was February 2025. Quality measures score well; the inspection record and turnover are the parts worth asking about directly.
Stonespring Of Vandalia runs 144 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the clinical picture is genuinely strong: a 4/5 inspection rating, a 5/5 on quality measures, and 14 deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was in April 2024. Where it slips is staffing. Total nurse hours sit at 3.89 per resident day, barely a whisker over the national 3.86, which explains the 2/5 staffing star. Weekend coverage drops about 8% below weekday levels, and turnover runs 49.4% against a national 45.8%. Good outcomes, thin margin on the floor.
Beavercreek Post Acute runs 3.05 nursing hours per resident day, about 21% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level. That shortfall is the clearest thing in the numbers, and it's why the staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5. The inspection record is mixed: 27 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a single fine of $43,173, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. Staff turnover of 38.8% actually beats the national 45.8%, which cuts the other way, and the quality measures score 5 out of 5 even as health inspections land at 2. A for-profit corporation owns the 110-bed home.
Wood Glen runs on thin staffing. At 3.16 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 18 percent below the national average, weekends dip about 8 percent below its own weekday levels, and more than half the nursing staff turns over each year, 52.1 percent against a national 45.8 percent. That combination matters more than usual here, because this is a dementia unit, where consistent caregivers and steady attention are the whole job.
The inspection record carries 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. A recent April 2026 inspection is a point in its favor, and the quality measure score is strong, but those measures lean on self-reported data that a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating doesn't support.
Riverside Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 180-bed for-profit home in Dayton, and the numbers split in two directions. The care side looks good on paper: a 5/5 quality measure rating and staff turnover at 32%, well below the 45.8% national average, suggest people tend to stay. But staffing sits at 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 6% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is where it gets harder to explain: 47 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $125,180 in fines, with a 1/5 inspection rating from a September 2025 visit.
Sanctuary At Wilmington Place runs 63 certified beds in Dayton under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover hits 67.5% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses caring for your family member are likely newer and stretched thinner than average. The current inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was June 2, 2025. Quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers are what carry weight here.
Aventura At Carriage Inn runs about 3.10 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 20 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage dips another 10 percent below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 55.4 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents are changing fairly often. The inspection history is mixed: 46 deficiencies on the current record, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in December 2024. Quality measures score well, but staffing and health inspection results land at 2 out of 5 stars each. Corporate for-profit ownership, 85 beds.
The Arc at Trotwood is a for-profit, limited-liability operation with 127 beds in Dayton, and its inspection record is the first thing to notice: 73 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. CMS gave it one star for health inspections and one star for staffing, even though its overall nurse staffing of 3.87 hours per resident day sits right at the national average of 3.86. That average hides a gap, weekend staffing runs about 16% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover is 57.4% against a national 45.8%. The quality measure star, 4 out of 5, is the one bright spot. The last inspection was May 2025.
Grafton Oaks runs on 3.39 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage slips about 8 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 68.9 percent against a national average of 45.8, most of the people caring for your relative likely weren't there a year ago. The inspection record carries 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, and the last inspection was February 2026. The 5/5 quality measure rating reflects charted clinical measures, but staffing is where this home is thinnest, and that gap is what a family should weigh when deciding.
Centerville Health and Rehab is a 120-bed for-profit home in Dayton, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd flag. At 3.03 nurse hours per resident per day, it runs about 21% below the national average, with weekends even thinner than weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in a 66.7% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for your family member are, more often than not, new to the building. On the plus side, the quality measure rating is strong and no deficiency reached actual harm. But 56 deficiencies, five abuse-related, and a recent July 2025 inspection mean I'd ask hard questions before moving anyone in.
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.
Trotwood Health & Rehab is a 67-bed for-profit home in Dayton, and its record reflects serious, ongoing problems. Nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15% below the national average, and weekends run even leaner. Staff turnover is the number that should stop you cold: about 89% annually, nearly double the national rate. On inspections, CMS gives this home 1 out of 5 stars, with 85 deficiencies on record, four at the harm level and seven tied to abuse. It's in the Special Focus Facility program, carries a $77,000 fine, and was last inspected in July 2024.
