Specialized Staff
Our staff receives extensive training to work in this unique environment. A specially-trained team works together with elders and rehab residents daily, and includes elder assistants, a guide, a coach, a quality of life coordinator, and a housing coordinator.
In addition to standard training, each elder assistant receives additional, specialized training. Each neighborhood is staffed with a team of nurses. Rehab professionals provide specialized physical, speech, and occupational therapy. The design of the small house presents a setting that is similar to their own home. This makes possible an abundance of activities for their rehabilitation and offers natural surroundings for accomplishing everyday tasks.
“The Otterbein Way” focuses on your abilities, not your limitations.
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. Otterbein Skilled Nursing & Rehab Neighborhoods are licensed and certified by the Ohio Department of Health, and are both Medicare and Medicaid certified.
