Otterbein Springboro represents a unique and innovative approach to senior care, offering a distinctive small house neighborhood for older adults seeking skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, or long-term residential options. At the heart of Otterbein Springboro’s philosophy is a person-centered model that places the preferences and independence of its residents, lovingly referred to as elders, at the forefront of daily life. Here, each elder enjoys their own private suite, allowing for privacy and comfort while sharing warm, family-style meals and inviting communal living spaces within an intimate residential setting.
The community features a collection of five small houses, thoughtfully designed to foster a sense of home rather than an institutional environment. Each house offers twelve private rooms, each with their own bath, along with a communal kitchen, living room, and a secure backyard patio. All spaces are easily accessible and maintain a cozy atmosphere that encourages forming personal connections and meaningful friendships—an essential component of life enrichment for elders. New private suites have recently been added to the neighborhood, each boasting remote-controlled personal heating, complimentary Wi-Fi, and spacious bathrooms with walk-in showers, further enhancing comfort and accessibility. Each private suite comes furnished with an extra-wide hospital bed, recliner, dresser, and nightstand, but elders are welcomed and encouraged to bring personal furnishings to make the space truly their own.
Daily life at Otterbein Springboro embraces flexibility and choice, empowering residents to decide when to wake up, what and when to eat, and how to spend their day—mirroring life in their previous homes. This emphasis on independence replaces rigid schedules and strict mealtimes with a supportive environment tailored to each individual’s needs and preferences. Licensed nurses, nursing assistants, and therapists are available around the clock, ensuring compassionate care whether an elder’s stay is permanent or for short-term rehabilitation after illness or injury. Elders also benefit from an emergency call system for added peace of mind.
Among the amenities, the community provides several inviting features within each small house, including a salon and spa room, a screened porch, a fenced-in outdoor patio, and a dedicated den or therapy room. Open-concept living and dining areas, complete with accessible kitchens, further serve to create an inviting and homelike environment. In addition to personal laundry services, life enrichment activities are offered, and connectivity needs are met with Wi-Fi and cable TV included.
Otterbein Springboro’s approach is inspired by a partnership designed to transform the senior living experience, creating vibrant households where elders can flourish. Located in a peaceful, established residential area near Springboro and Centerville, the community is part of a larger metropolitan region, granting access to a rich array of cultural, recreational, and entertainment options. Whether elders are enjoying the privacy of their own suite, participating in communal activities, or simply relaxing on the patio or screen porch, Otterbein Springboro stands as a warm, inviting place that truly feels like home, where individuality is honored and personalized care is a daily reality.
