Middletown - Healthcare
The word home conjures up many feelings. Comfort, security, privacy, family... there's simply no other place like it. There are times, however, when staying at home simply isn't possible anymore. That is why many elders are choosing to make their next home in an Avalon by Otterbein small house neighborhood... it feels just like home.
Happy Halloween!
Partners at The Donald L. Gilmore Neighborhood at Avalon Middletown enjoyed dressing up recently in the Halloween spirit. Avalon by Otterbein small house neighborhoods are leading the nation in revolutionizing elder care that is resident centered and relationship based. This new model combines the warmth and companionship of home with all of the skilled clinical nursing care services in a residential setting.

MIDDLETOWN - Oct. 8, 2009 - The crisp and windy early fall day reminded some of Scottish golfing weather at Otterbein Homes' 16th annual Dilgard Open on Sept. 28. While the wind may have blown some golf balls off course, spirits remained high and a fun day of golfing prevailed.

The word home conjures up many feelings. Comfort, security, privacy, family... there's simply no other place like it. There are times, however, when staying at home simply isn't possible anymore. That is why many elders are choosing to make their next home in an Avalon by Otterbein small house neighborhood... it feels just like home.
A radical departure from traditional nursing homes, the small house model creates a place where elders gather around a dining table for meals and games, share stories in the great room by the fireplace and retire to their own bedrooms and baths at the end of the day. They decide their own meal times and choose their own hobbies. Family and friends are welcome to drop by for a visit at any time. Here elders will live enjoying autonomy, dignity and choice that are often absent from traditional institutions. At Avalon by Otterbein, you are not living in our community... we work in your home.
The small house is designed to be a home for the people who live there. Residents still benefit from the outstanding nursing care that has distinguished Otterbein for years, but the focus is on enjoying life in a home where nurturing personal care is provided to each individual.
Most Avalon by Otterbein neighborhoods are located in residential areas and feature five one-story homes with 10 residents each. A total of 50 residents share a neighborhood. The people living in the small house make their own decisions about daily living and schedules.
Residents in the one-story house enjoy a spacious great room with a hearth area, beautiful patio, residential kitchen for cooking favorite recipes, family dining area, a spa/physical therapy room, a den and private suites for each resident.

Healthcare Text:
Since one and sometimes two of the five houses in an Avalon by Otterbein neighborhood focus on rehabilitation therapies, temporary stays after a hospitalization or an acute illness are common. The specialized, trained staff understands that no person wants to live in an environment that focuses solely on their frailty, and so quality of life becomes the small house focus. Elder assistants, licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, physical therapists, social workers, nutritionists and a medical director make up the healthcare team. They work together to personalize the care for each resident.
Long hallways in traditional nursing homes create dependence on wheelchairs. But the short, wide hallways and outside walkways at Avalon by Otterbein encourage elders and rehabilitation guests to walk as much as possible. This maintains strength and reduces the dependence on wheelchairs.
Elder assistants are integral in the mental and physical health of the elders. In addition to the current nurses aide training, they undergo 120 hours of additional instruction for household duties, such as laundry and cooking. Enjoying the privacy of their own room, even residents with a waning appetite can be enticed by the wafting smell of home-cooked food coming from the family-style kitchen. It may even be their recipe that was used in the preparation. The design of the small house and its location within a neighborhood makes the transition for elders easier. It provides optimal opportunities for residents to stay connected to family and friends.
Both residents and staff appreciate key differences such as no institutional schedules, meals or routines; high elder assistant staffing ratios; and home cooked meals. The benefits of these changes include better outcomes, improved quality of life and satisfaction for residents and increased nurse effectiveness. Avalon by Otterbein neighborhoods are licensed and certified by the Ohio Department of Health. Avalon by Otterbein small houses are both Medicare and Medicaid certified.
