Aging independently has its rewards — freedom, flexibility, and the ability to make your own decisions. But for many solo agers, it can also come with a feeling of loneliness. You may find yourself craving more connection, deeper relationships, or simply someone to share life’s everyday moments with.
At Otterbein Lebanon, you’ll find the sense of connection, comfort, and community you’ve been looking for.
Built-In, No-Pressure Social Connections
From the time you move in, you’ll find yourself surrounded by people who are at a similar stage in life and are also ready to meet new people. Our common spaces, walking paths, and dining areas are all designed to encourage connection. There’s no need to drive across town to meet up; connection is right outside your door. Just stepping outside your apartment can lead to a spontaneous chat or a shared activity.
You’ll also find that neighbors here look out for each other, whether it’s a simple conversation or checking in when it’s needed. If you’re struggling to maintain this kind of social network on your own, you’ll find that it’s already available at Otterbein.
Purposeful Programming on Your Schedule
Activities aren’t just for entertainment — they’re thoughtfully planned to foster connection. On campus, there are book groups and coffee clubs, games and parties, concerts, lectures and educational classes, prayer groups, volunteer opportunities, and choir practice. Once you’re out and about with all these friendly people, Otterbein Lebanon will soon feel like a second family.
You’re in charge of how much (or how little) you want to engage. Whether you thrive with a packed daily agenda or prefer a few activities per week, your schedule is up to you.
