What did Ohio's inspections of Optimized Senior Living find?
ODH's most recent licensure survey of Optimized Senior Living on file with the Ohio Department of Aging took place February 20, 2025 and cited 5 rule violations; across all surveys in the past four years the count is 9.
| Survey date | Type | Citations |
|---|---|---|

The newest licensure survey is 20 months old; Ohio law calls for one at least every 15 months, so ask whether ODH has visited since.

ODH's record for Optimized Senior Living does not list Alzheimer's disease among its registered services, so ask directly whether it has a secured special care unit; many Ohio RCFs run one without registering the service.
Early memory loss is rarely a reason to refuse admission; the turning point is usually leaving the building unnoticed or behavior staff cannot redirect.

Optimized Senior Living is in Dayton's Downtown, East Dayton & the Kettering-Beavercreek edge area, and no hospital distance is available.
What does Optimized Senior Living's record suggest asking on a tour?
Use the public record as your checklist: ask to read the February 20, 2025 survey's 5 citations and the plan of correction ODH accepted.
- Ask how many staff are awake overnight and whether a nurse is in the building or only on call.
- Ask whether Medicaid's Assisted Living Waiver is accepted and how many waiver residents live here now.
- Take the residency agreement home and check the fee schedule, refund terms and notice period for increases.
