Otterbein Sunset Village SeniorLife Community sits a little over three miles outside Sylvania, Ohio, on a 70-acre campus with big lawns, easy walking paths, ponds, and outdoor spaces that let folks get out for some fresh air when they want. This place gives a range of living options, so some residents sit down in independent ranch-style homes called Fieldstone Villas, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, laundry rooms, and attached garages, and other folks pick assisted living studios or one-bedroom apartments if they need a little more help with daily life, and then some live in private or shared suites if they need full nursing care. There's skilled nursing and memory care in smaller "small house" model neighborhoods, so residents can enjoy a person-centered, homelike setup, and they can put their own decorations in their private rooms, which a lot of people seem to appreciate.
The community offers many services under one roof, including independent living, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, home health, respite care, hospice, and even adult day services. The nursing home has a 4-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and with an average score of 9.2 out of 10, it's the highest-rated senior care spot in the city, which probably means staff and programs make a difference for people staying here. There's a dedicated rehabilitation area called the Bissell Neighborhood where folks receive therapy like physical, occupational, and speech treatments after an illness or surgery, and nurses and licensed staff are around 24 hours a day to help with medical needs, medication, and caregiving tasks.
Inside, rooms come with private bathrooms, kitchens or kitchenettes, cable TV, internet, telephones, and air conditioning, and some units have washers and dryers, plus there's maintenance support for repairs or just to keep things tidy. The community takes care of housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning, so residents can spend more time in fitness centers, salons, the game or activity rooms, and even enjoy the indoor pool or the clubhouse restaurant. Meals are served in a big dining room and can handle special diets, allergies, or diabetes, and people can dine any time during the day because there's all-day dining. For safety, there's a strong focus on accessibility, sprinkler systems, emergency alert systems, and other features that help residents stay safe and get support quickly.
Otterbein Sunset Village keeps people engaged with art classes, wellness sessions, happy hours, movies, library time, trivia, and social gatherings, so there's something for almost any interest, and families can join in or visit because guest parking is on site. Staff also help coordinate doctor visits, transportation, and move-in or daily support, and each resident has regular wellness reviews and health checks by nurses. For people wanting or needing extra help, there's the Milestones program backed by the Alzheimer's Association® for memory care, and a focus on therapy and recovery for those in rehab, making it a place where people can transition back to health after time in the hospital. The Otterbein Difference means there's a long-running approach centered on dignity, personal choice, and making senior care as comfortable as possible, for those who need independent convenience or people needing round-the-clock skilled nursing, with attached benefits and programs running through the SeniorLife Community network, including support for families, too.
