Avalon by Otterbein

Small House... Big Difference ®
In Exceptional Skilled Nursing Care

One look at an Avalon by Otterbein small house neighborhood and it is immediately clear these small houses are unlike any other long-term care environment in Ohio. It is a house 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.

Avalon by Otterbein neighborhoods are situated in convenient, familiar residential locations. The small house removes people from the traditional model of institutional care and takes them “back home” to their communities. The design of the small house and the location within the community provides the optimal opportunity for family and friends to stay connected.

In an Avalon by Otterbein small house, neighborhood life is rooted in a philosophy that recognizes the uniqueness of the individual and honors the universal need for human warmth and companionship. 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.

Elders deserve more than institutions can provide! Otterbein is the first organization in America to take the bold step of moving elders to homes in the community. Six locations will become sites for Avalon by Otterbein neighborhoods, each with five beautiful homes. Avalon by Otterbein at Perrysburg is located at Rivers Edge and Avalon by Otterbein at Monclova, located at Waterside are both now open.

The Avalon by Otterbein at Clearcreek neighborhood in Clearcreek Township opened in August 2008, Avalon by Otterbein at Atrium located on the Atrium Medical Center campus opened in February 2009 and the Hamilton Township neighborhood is to open in 2010.
