Otterbein Granville is a Life Plan Community, with the key word being “plan.” Uncertainty about the future can be stressful for everyone, but having a plan in place can bring peace of mind to seniors and their loved ones.

Otterbein Granville residents appreciate knowing higher levels of care are available right on campus should they ever need them. Prospective residents who are considering Otterbein Granville often join our Priority List. Keep reading to learn more about what this means and how to apply.

What Is a Priority List?

Priority List members are notified first about the upcoming availability of our independent living residences, including apartments, cottages, and villas. That means you’ll have priority before the rest of our prospective residents.

Availability at Otterbein Granville has become extremely limited over the past years, and joining the Priority List is the only way to ensure you find the home that is right for you at the right time. Our Priority List is divided into two different categories: active and inactive members.

Priority List Active Members Vs. Inactive Members

You can choose whether to be an active or inactive member of our Priority List.

Active Member

If you choose to be an active member, you have determined that you are considering a move within the next year and would like to be contacted as soon as homes become available.

When a particular residence opens up, the marketing and sales team calls the first active member on the Priority List who has indicated they would like that specific floor plan. If they decide it is not the right time for them to move, we simply go to the next person on the list.

Active members are offered three (3) residences before being moved to the bottom of the Active Priority List. You must submit your financial qualification application to be eligible to join the Active Priority List.

Inactive Member

Inactive Priority List members enjoy the following benefits:

A place on the list
An annual survey
Invitations to our upcoming marketing events
Ability to switch to an active member status at any time

Inactive members are interested in moving to Otterbein Granville but not within the next year, so they join the Priority List to hold their place in line until they’re ready to move.

For example, we have inactive members of our Priority List who made their deposit before we even opened in 2005! When ready to be active members, they will be moved to the top of the Active Priority List.

How to Join the Priority List

Joining the Priority List is simple! You fill out a form with your basic information and indicate which floor plan would be your top choice. You have the choice of selecting more than one floor plan if you are open to more than one option.

You’ll pay a fee of $2,150 to join the Priority List. The fee is refundable at any time should you decide not to move to Otterbein Granville. We keep $150 as a processing fee. If you do decide to choose a residence and move in, your $2,000 deposit goes toward your entrance fee.
