ABOUT US

Experience counts. And with over 95 years of experience, Otterbein continues to enhance the quality of life in our communities and neighborhoods. The original Otterbein community was built for children and adults in 1912 on land purchased from the Shakers near Lebanon, Ohio. The childcare program ended in 1963 and since then Otterbein has grown to five retirement living communities in Ohio.

In an Otterbein community, many begin to pursue old hobbies or discover new possibilities in a comfortable and secure community. Quality health care services are available at all communities should the need arise. Otterbein’s new model of nursing care is the first of its kind in Ohio.

Avalon by Otterbein, a new model of nursing care, opened in Fall 2007 in northwest Ohio, with three more neighborhoods scheduled to open in 2008.

In keeping with our United Methodist tradition we seek to enhance the quality of life and holistic growth of older persons.

This mission is enhanced and sustained through years of charitable giving. Generous donors have provided for a benevolent care fund to assist those who, through no fault of their own, cannot meet their financial needs.

Employment opportunities to grow and advance in a variety of disciplines are available. An employee driven program Partners in Caring (PIC), is dedicated to establishing a unique workplace that welcomes employees, our circle of family, friends, and community to an exceptional, caring environment.
