Serving as One Otterbein

Our Guiding Principles

Serving Seniors for More Than 110 Years

Otterbein SeniorLife: How It All Began

For over 110 years, Otterbein SeniorLife has offered senior housing options grounded in respect and community.

Otterbein began in 1912 as the United Brethren Orphanage and Home for the Aged. In the 1960s, Otterbein began to focus exclusively on care for older adults, phasing out the orphanage.

Over the next few decades, to better meet the needs of seniors, Otterbein transitioned to the modern senior lifestyle solutions it offers today. In fact, Otterbein developed some of the first continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), also known as life plan communities, in the country.

During that time of major expansion, Otterbein constructed independent living residences, life plan communities, long-term care and rehabilitation communities, and small house neighborhoods. Additionally, we added a home health and hospice program to serve numerous counties in Ohio.

Then, in 2012, we celebrated our 100th anniversary.

We’re proud of our past and look forward to a bright future as we continue to enrich individual life journeys for all.
