About Springboro SeniorLife Neighborhood

At Otterbein Springboro, our residents, or elders, live in one of five small houses, each with private suites, shared living spaces, and family-style meals. This warm and intimate setting allows us to provide personalized care and attention to every single elder.

Our small house model, “Small House … Big Difference,” encourages close relationships, special moments, and a joyful way of living. It’s a welcome alternative to traditional rehab, long-term care, and memory support communities in Ohio. The Springboro SeniorLife Neighborhood is more than just a place for care — it’s a groundbreaking approach that puts personal choice and individualized support first.

What We Offer

Care Choices at Otterbein Springboro

At Otterbein Springboro, our caring team of licensed nurses, nursing assistants (referred to as Elder Assistants), and therapists are available to provide compassionate support. Whether residents are here long-term or just for a short stay to recover from an injury or illness, they are warmly welcomed and treated like family. We’re proud to create a supportive and friendly environment for all our elders.

 

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.

A Green House Project ®

Why Choose a Small House?

Developed in partnership with the Green House Project®, this revolutionary model creates a real-home environment where residents don’t just live — they thrive. You can feel the small house difference the moment you walk through the door. With a higher caregiver-to-elder ratio, residents are supported by consistent nursing partners (employees) around the clock, along with expert physical, speech, and occupational therapy services. Life at Otterbein Springboro doesn’t feel like other institutions — it feels like home.
