The Carlyle House

The Carlyle House is a locally owned senior community in Dayton with a strong family tradition and a caring leadership team that focuses on residents' well-being, where you'll find both assisted living and memory care options including a secured memory care section called The Renaissance that helps people living with Alzheimer's and dementia, and you come across different levels of care-light, medium, and heavy care, all the way up to hospice and respite stays for families who need a little extra support, with staff that's awake around the clock and nurses on site, plus a doctor on call for extra peace of mind, and you can even keep a cat or dog since they accept both, with some pet care available too. Residents get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication, and even management of health concerns like diabetes, including insulin shots and sliding scale therapy, and caregivers offer reminders and standby help for those who need extra support moving around, even handling one-person, two-person, or mechanical lift transfers and keeping a careful eye on those who may wander or act out, plus the whole property is secured with alarms and a computerized system that alerts staff if someone heads for an unsafe spot. Inside, there are private and companion suites with ten different room designs, each one including private bathrooms, kitchenettes, climate control, cable TV, telephones, and even emergency alert systems so residents feel safe. Meals come restaurant-style, and they can meet dietary needs like allergies and diabetes, while staff handle laundry, housekeeping, move-in help, and even concierge services, making daily life a bit easier. Amenities include indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, a community movie theater, game and activity rooms, an arts space, library, garden spots, and beautifully tended outdoor areas where you might join in flower planting, outdoor programs, or cook-outs and exercise classes along with scheduled movie nights and music and wellness spa rooms. Activities happen every day on-site and off, including devotional services, and there's a beautician right in the building, which is fully wheelchair accessible with special showers, and you'll even see transportation services for errands or appointments if you need them, with parking available for those who drive. Health support extends to regular visits by specialists such as a podiatrist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, and speech therapist, and staff get to know not just the residents but also their families, treating everyone a bit like kin and building a real sense of belonging, making room for those with physical or behavioral concerns, and offering memory care that fits each person's needs. Carlyle House tries to create a warm, home-like feel, with 51 suites across the community, and room to age in place as needs change, always focusing on respect, compassion, and attention to each person no matter what stage of life they're facing, so families can count on a place that strives to be safe, supportive, and comfortable, with a reputation for kindness and thoughtful care at every turn.
