About Monclova SeniorLife Neighborhood

Welcome to Otterbein Monclova, where elders live in one of five small houses, each with private suites, inviting common areas, and family-style dining that fosters community.

Unlike traditional Ohio facilities, Monclova SeniorLife Neighborhood offers a revolutionary yet simple environment where your voice matters, choices are respected, and support is personalized. Combining innovative care with warmth, it feels truly like home.
