Where Care Feels Like Home
Memory Support in Gahanna
At Otterbein Gahanna Neighborhood, our memory support environment is welcoming, and designed to feel like home. Although the community is not equipped to support individuals with advanced memory loss, it is thoughtfully structured to provide a comfortable and supportive environment for those living with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia.
Our memory support programs, led by dedicated and caring, specially-trained partners (employees), continuously evolve based on our residents’ needs and new research – putting quality of life at the forefront of the support they need. We recognize that every individual is unique, so we take time to understand their personal preferences and create a memory support plan tailored just for them.
