On top of safety precautions, there are some benefits to living at a retirement community during this time:

• The majority of our partners are vaccinated and those who are unvaccinated are tested twice a week. Vaccinated partners are tested routinely. Because we comply with all government regulations and mandates, you can feel safer about being around other residents and partners (employees) on campus.
• Staying social is important, so we're offering safe activities to keep you engaged and adding precautions as needed. 
• We're keeping all residents informed of what's going on with the changing regulations. You can rest assured that we want all of our residents to stay as healthy and safe as possible.

Otterbein Sunset House has been part of the Toledo area for more than 150 years. Founded in 1871 as the “Home for Friendless Women,” Otterbein Sunset House mainly served women in the Toledo area and later became a nursing center. In the early 2000s, the community began to admit men and couples and added independent living housing, which is now called The Woodlands.

In 2020, the community became affiliated with Otterbein SeniorLife and officially became known as Otterbein Sunset House.
