Overview of Otterbein Seniorlife

In our village-style life plan community, gracious public spaces complement well-designed private senior living residences, including apartments, cottages, and villas. We are a Level I Arboretum with walking trails, yet we have easy freeway access to the “big city” of Columbus and an international airport.

We make space for the gregarious and the contemplative. Residents can be as active or as quiet as they prefer, because there is no one right way to live. Freedom is an important concept at Otterbein Granville. Our residents’ fresh ideas thrive in familiar, supportive surroundings. Resident-directed activities and life-enhancing friendships enrich community life. The design supports a range of individual lifestyles, promotes community interaction, and optimizes mobility for people with a variety of physical capabilities. Many residents are lifelong learners who audit classes; attend concerts, plays and lectures; and volunteer throughout central Ohio in a variety of settings.

A comprehensive health care program is offered on campus, with health and wellness programs, physician services, therapies, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory support and long-term nursing care.
