Life at Otterbein Franklin

Lifestyle Choices & Types of Care

Our non-profit, faith-based CCRC offers many choices for people aged 62 or better, who desire security, peace of mind, and the freedom to live life to the fullest in a Christian, home-like setting.

Lifestyle Choices

Our lovely independent living cottage homes with a variety of floor plans and architectural options have been built throughout the Otterbein Franklin campus to help us meet our goal of “providing excellence in retirement living.” Seventy-five Methodist Drive homes have been built over the last 55 years and border our Horseshoe Drive, which surrounds the Wesley Center.

Residents who prefer apartment-style independent living may choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments that are available in Wesley Center, so you’re minutes away from all the action on campus.

Seniors interested in assisted living apartments may choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments that are available in Wesley Center. Each apartment has its own personal bathroom/shower and kitchenette. Our residents benefit from professional, courteous, and respectful nursing care, housekeeping services, dietary services, laundry services, and appropriate activities by qualified staff.

Otterbein Franklin’s 24-hour Nursing Center with its semi-private and private accommodations provides professional, around-the-clock nursing care. You control your schedule, so even with your health and wellness a top priority, you still get your independence.

Types of Care

At Otterbein Franklin, we offer independent living cottage homes and apartments, assisted living apartments, skilled nursing care and short-term rehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, and long term care. We also offer memory support for early, mid, and advanced stages in three separate locations to accommodate Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, and respite and hospice care.

Amenities

Like all Otterbein locations, there are plenty of choices of activities on the schedule at Otterbein Franklin. Visit our wellness center to enjoy exercise classes, such as water aerobics in our heated pool, or take a stroll along the wellness center walking path. There’s a ceramics and art studio, woodshop, and greenhouse, as well as theme parties, card games, educational programs, and an on-campus computer lab.

If you’re looking for health services, there are clinic offices for physicians, psychiatrist, podiatrist, optometrist, and dentist, as well as physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy services.

When you get the travel bug, there are plenty of luncheon trips and joyrides, as well as local, state, national, and international travel opportunities. When you’re hungry, you can grab a bite to eat at Kresge Dining Room.
