Otterbein At Maineville is a unique senior living community located in the tranquil village of Maineville, Ohio, nestled near the scenic Little Miami River. This community is designed around the innovative small house model, providing an alternative to traditional nursing care settings. The neighborhood comprises five individual small houses, each thoughtfully arranged on quiet cul-de-sacs within a well-established residential area. Within these homes, residents—referred to as elders—enjoy a warm, person-centered environment that fosters authentic connections and prioritizes individual choice. Rather than being structured around rigid schedules, Otterbein At Maineville empowers elders with the autonomy to make personal decisions about their daily lives, from when to wake up and eat meals to how they wish to spend their day.
Each home within Otterbein At Maineville features twelve private suites, all equipped with private baths. The bathrooms are designed for comfort and security, offering amenities such as walk-in showers with fold-down benches, multiple shower heads, grab bars, height-adjustable mirrors, and secure medicine cabinets. The layout of each house includes a communal kitchen, a cozy living room, and a secure backyard patio, creating an inviting atmosphere that closely resembles a family home rather than an institutional facility. Family-style, home-cooked meals are a staple, with elders, staff, and visitors sharing food and conversation around a single large table. Residents are encouraged to participate in meal planning and preparation, reinforcing the sense of community and personal agency.
Otterbein At Maineville provides a continuum of care that includes skilled nursing, long-term care, memory support, and post-acute rehabilitation services. These services are offered in the comfort and privacy of the small house neighborhood, with a dedicated team of licensed nurses, nursing assistants, and therapists providing care and support around the clock. Therapeutic services, such as physical, occupational, respiratory, and speech therapies, are available on site and delivered in relaxed, private therapy rooms situated within each house. This approach not only enhances comfort and convenience but also nurtures the well-being of elders, allowing them to recover or receive ongoing support in a familiar and peaceful setting.
The community’s design and philosophy are inspired by a partnership with The Green House Project, dedicated to creating vibrant, supportive homes for elders. Otterbein At Maineville extends this mission by continuously improving its offerings—for example, by adding ten new private suites featuring modern amenities such as remote-controlled personal heating, complimentary Wi-Fi, and spacious bathrooms. The small house philosophy is central to life here, making personalized senior care more accessible and creating opportunities for meaningful relationships among residents and staff. Whether individuals reside at Otterbein At Maineville as part of a long-term commitment or for short-term rehabilitation following an illness or injury, they are welcomed as valued members of the close-knit community. The commitment to dignity, choice, and quality of life sets Otterbein At Maineville apart as a truly special place for elders to call home.
