Great transition for my mother.

The cleanliness, welcoming atmosphere and helpful staff are at the top of my list. Also, the quality food and numerous activities offered to my mother has made her adjustment and daily attitude so positive.

A nice community with room for improvement

Downfalls are not having a pendant to call for help. There is a corded button. But dragging around a 15 foot long is just a trip and fall waiting to happen. Also, the shower area is just outdated and unsafe for anyone that has balance issues. Both times my Mom fell(not in the shower) it took others to get her help from the staff. First time I had to call the staff since she could not get them. The second time her neighbor luckily heard her screams and got someone to check on her. I think the actual nursing staff mu

Otterbein Review

The food is great and the servers try very hard to please everyone as does the kitchen staff. The grounds and hallways are always well-kept and welcoming. The staff is friendly. This is the only facility that we looked at that would take Medicaid Waiver. The bathrooms are way too small to bathe in for elderly residents. The caregivers can never be found quickly. Very few of them seem to exist. The laundry staff is awesome! You couldn't ask for a place that has more activity areas and each is outstanding. Pricing is

A great place for mom

We chose Otterbein because of the cleanliness, friendliness of the staff members, and she was familiar with the location since we grew up on Jefferson Street. The facility itself did not look like an institution, it looked like a nice welcoming place that you want to be. I would recommend to others looking.

Peace of Mind

I feel that my parent is safe here. The community itself is old and needs some updates. However, I feel that she is being taken care of and I have peace of mind that she is there. They have a lot of activities however, my loved one is more private and with her hearing disability she does not do well in groups.
