Care Tailored to Each Elder’s Story

About Middletown SeniorLife Neighborhood

At Otterbein Middletown, our residents, whom we refer to as elders, enjoy life in one of five intimate small houses, each featuring private suites, welcoming shared spaces, and family-style dining. This genuine home environment transforms care delivery, ensuring every elder receives truly personalized attention tailored to their unique needs and preferences.

Our “Small House … Big Difference” philosophy creates something remarkable — deep relationships, cherished daily moments, and authentic joy in living. Unlike traditional Ohio facilities for rehabilitation, long-term care, or memory support, the Middletown SeniorLife Neighborhood offers an innovative model where personal choice drives every decision and individualized support shapes every day. Here, care isn’t just provided — it’s crafted around each elder’s story.

What We Offer

Care Choices at Otterbein Middletown

Compassionate care awaits at Otterbein Middletown, where our dedicated team of licensed nurses, nursing assistants (referred to as Elder Assistants), and therapists provides continuous support. Whether elders are here temporarily for post-hospital rehabilitation or have chosen Otterbein as their permanent home, each person receives the same devoted attention and becomes a cherished member of the Otterbein family — because here, the length of your stay never determines the depth of our care.

 

Additionally, Otterbein Home Health delivers personalized in-home care and support for seniors transitioning from our small house residences back to their own homes. Learn more about how we can support your transition and ongoing care needs.
