Respiratory and Nursing Center of Dayton

★★★★★ From Rock Bottom to Redemption Let me be real about The Respiratory & Nursing Center of Dayton. There was a time when this place was not somewhere you wanted your loved ones. The rooms were rough, the staffing was stretched thin, call lights stayed on too long, and families like mine walked away worried instead of reassured. Reviews were ugly, inspections were harsh, and the reputation around town matched what we saw with our own eyes. For me it was heartbreaking, because my mother deserved better. That was then. Now I walk into the same building on Pinnacle Road and I see something completely different. The facility has invested in itself, the vent and respiratory unit has been remodeled, and the culture has been flipped. There are respiratory therapists on duty, nurses who hustle, aides who care, and leadership that actually listens. When you have been around as long as I have, you know the difference between a surface polish and a true transformation. This is the real thing. Today I sat down with Jernai Jennette, Social Services Director, Tonya Martin, Admissions Director, and Nurse Meghan. These are not just titles on paper. These are people who looked me in the eye, gave me straight answers, and made sure my mother’s needs came first. They carry themselves with pride and purpose, and it shows in how the whole building operates. The truth is this place went from being a story people told as a warning to being a story people can now tell as an example of what redemption looks like. I call the nurses, aides, and staff heroes because they earned that title. They show up every day in a tough field and still manage to give families like mine peace of mind. If you want proof that a facility can change, grow, and rise above its past, look at The Respiratory & Nursing Center of Dayton. They turned rock bottom into redemption, and for that they have my respect and my gratitude. — Reginald Graham

That nursing home is straight up something out of a horror movie as of right now I would not take a dead dog there and price to stay there is awful

this place is dirty and cheap. no wipes. they wipe you with rags that have been used to wipe others. they use reusable bed pads that others have urinated and pooped on. we might as well be sharing underwear. i have my own disposable bed pads and wipes. im young and here for rehab. i can’t wait to leave. i’m definitely motivated to work harder to leave here. my bed and tv didn’t work upon arrival and had to be replaced. call light response time is atrocious so you better be independent because if you need assistance, you’ll be waiting for a long time. i’d give it a 0 if i could

A thief works in their midst. Someone stole a very sentimental item from my friend. She had it there less than a month when it just ‘disappeared.’

Very dedicated and hard working staff.
