Dayton Care Center, Inc.

Dayton Care Center, Inc. sits at 521 59th Street in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in a building that first opened as a hotel back in 1925, so there's a lot of character with things like historic architecture and some pretty scenic lake views from certain rooms, and you'll notice that the place has a more homelike feeling even with its eight floors and 90 private rooms of different sizes, including some spacious suites and standard singles, most with private bathrooms, and every room has basics like utilities, local phone service, basic cable, and wireless internet, even washers and dryers in some, and there's also emergency alert systems in the rooms, which helps people feel a bit safer, especially with the building having sprinkler systems and handicap accessibility. This community focuses on care for seniors, veterans, and adults with chronic mental illness or physical disabilities, offering long-term care as a Community Based Residential Facility with 16 licensed beds and care levels ranging from independent to assisted living and memory care, and folks get personalized care plans that really try to match what each person needs, whether that's medication management, help with bathing, dressing, or getting around, or assistance with schedules and healthcare coordination, and you can expect 24-hour supervision, which also includes help for those who can't walk on their own. There's a strong sense of community, with an Activities Director leading events-things like crafts, poker games, bingo, a bowling league, and lots of social gatherings like movie nights, peer support groups, and devotionals, plus regular off-site dining trips to local restaurants since food is something they take seriously and their on-site culinary team prepares three good meals a day with snacks, and they make sure to pay attention to special diets like diabetes or allergies. The property gives people some outdoor space to enjoy, walking paths, a garden, and spots for visitors to park, and inside there are community rooms for games and fitness, a dining room where everyone eats together, and a salon or barbershop for grooming, plus support with laundry and housekeeping. The aim here is to let residents keep as much independence and privacy as possible, with routines that fit each person, while providing help when it's needed. The center is licensed, has VA certification, and has agreements with local programs like Kenosha County, Family Care, and Community Care, but it doesn't take Medicare unless CMS has certified it. Dayton Care Center, Inc. mainly serves U.S. veterans and people looking for a comfortable setting that remembers its hotel roots, tries to include everyone in daily life, and gives peace of mind to families with caring staff looking out for residents' well-being.
