Meet Cindy
When Cynda “Cindy” E. decided to retire from her nursing career in Ohio, she discovered something special at Otterbein Franklin in Indiana — a vibrant community that offers both independence and connection.
“My sister, brother-in-law, and I all moved in together. They have their own place, and I have my own as well. And it just makes it nicer having family here,” she said.
