Otterbein SeniorLife is excited to announce the expansion of its Universal Hospice services into Franklin and Licking counties, broadening its mission of compassionate, person-centered end-of-life care to additional communities in the greater Columbus region.
Otterbein Universal Hospice Expansion
Otterbein Universal Hospice, part of the Otterbein SeniorLife organization, has a strong legacy of leadership in hospice care and is one of three Otterbein hospice agencies collectively serving 25 counties across Ohio.
“Our team has consistently earned a 5‑star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which is the highest distinction for quality,” said Cheryl Sowle, Assistant Vice President, Home Health and Hospice at Otterbein SeniorLife. “Guided by our mission to enrich life journeys for all, we are honored to now provide exceptional, compassionate care to individuals and families throughout Licking and Franklin counties.”
This expansion aligns with Otterbein SeniorLife’s broader commitment to serving older adults wherever they live, whether in their own homes, an Otterbein SeniorLife Community, or an Otterbein SeniorLife Neighborhood.
“Expanding Otterbein Universal Hospice allows us to deepen our roots in communities we already serve through our continuum of services, including assisted living, memory care, post-acute and rehab care, and long-term care,” said Shonia Russelle, Vice President, Marketing & Communications at Otterbein SeniorLife. “Otterbein Hospice supports elders and their families anywhere they call home, and this regional expansion strengthens our commitment to meeting individuals where they are with comfort, dignity, and supportive care.”
