History
Otterbein’s History
For more than 100 years, Otterbein has provided senior housing options rooted in respect and community.
Otterbein began in 1912 as the United Brethren Orphanage and Home for the Aged. In the 1960s, Otterbein began to focus exclusively on care for elders, phasing out the orphanage.
Over the next few decades, to better meet the needs of seniors, Otterbein began to transition to the modern senior lifestyle solutions it offers today. In fact, Otterbein developed some of the first CCRCs in the country.
During that time of major expansion, Otterbein constructed independent living residences, continuing care retirement communities, skilled nursing and rehabilitation homes and neighborhoods, and small house neighborhoods. Additionally, we added a home health and hospice program to serve ten counties in southwestern Ohio.
Then, in 2012, we celebrated our 100th anniversary.
We’re proud of our past and look forward to a bright future as we continue to enrich individual life journeys for all.
