More about Kindred Hospital Dayton

None of those posts named a dollar amount, and it is not clear from the record whether those offers still stand. The one recent number attached to this building is a travel assignment: Advantis Medical posted an LTAC RN role here at $1,161 a week, days, three 12-hour shifts, on a one-week contract. That is agency pay for a short assignment, not Kindred staff wages. Dayton’s cost of living sits about 7% below the national price level, with an average commute around 17 minutes. People looking for housing often mention Beavercreek, Fairborn, Centerville, Huber Heights, and Oakwood. Ohio is a compact-license state. Staff hourly pay, nurse-to-patient ratios, and how a new graduate would be precepted are not in the public record you would be using to decide.
