Cotter House Worthington sits in Worthington, Ohio, and began serving the community in 2017 with its focus on Alzheimer's and dementia care, set on a quiet, two-story campus filled with walking paths and gardens. The facility offers care for people at any stage of cognitive impairment, from early memory issues to end-of-life support, with specially trained staff chosen for their compassion, patience, and dedication. Residents live in private or shared apartment-style suites, which feel more like a home than a large institution, while enjoying access to common areas, a fitness center, and spaces for music and memory programs. Staff use regular health check-ins and telehealth services so residents can reach medical professionals day or night, which is helpful for sudden changes or questions. Nutrition plays a big part, so all meals get planned to match personal tastes and dietary needs, and there's time set aside every day for meaningful activities, fitness classes, and social events, all tailored for each person's abilities and interests.
Couples can live together if they wish, and there are services for people needing short-term or respite care, long-term residency, and adult day care, with extra support for home care when needed. The community helps dementia caregivers too, giving families guidance and training, and anyone interested can donate through the Cotter House Foundation to help support special programs and Alzheimer's care. There's a strong focus on dignity and respect here, with staff always looking for new technologies or therapies that can improve life for people with memory problems. Residents often go on outings to local places, like cafes and restaurants, and the facilities include a beauty salon, barber shop, curated wellness programming, and rehabilitation care. A group of advisors helps guide Cotter House Worthington's mission to keep life meaningful and as familiar as possible, always using simple routines, gentle encouragement, and a caring staff to help maintain daily living skills and peace of mind.
