Otterbein Loveland is a skilled nursing community offering long-term care, rehabilitation, and memory support in Loveland, Ohio. The community operates on a small-house model, with five residential houses that blend into the surrounding neighborhood rather than resembling a traditional institutional setting.
Residents, called elders, occupy private suites within these small houses and share living and dining areas where family-style meals are served. The community emphasizes person-centered care with a higher caregiver-to-elder ratio than traditional nursing homes. A dedicated team of licensed nurses, nursing assistants (Elder Assistants), and therapists provides around-the-clock support, along with physical, speech, and occupational therapy services. The model prioritizes individualized care that respects personal choices and supports both permanent residents and those staying temporarily for post-acute rehabilitation following injury or illness.
Residents are encouraged to personalize their private suites with their own furniture and decor to create a home-like atmosphere. Otterbein Home Health also provides in-home care services for seniors transitioning from the small house residences back to their own homes. Food plays an important role in daily life, with home-cooked meals and special occasions like birthday celebrations and holiday dinners integrated into the community's culture.
Loveland is located in an area encompassing Hamilton, Clermont, and Warren counties and has been designated a Tree City by the National Arbor Day Foundation. The community is accessible off Hamilton Road and is situated near the Little Miami Scenic Trail, a popular cycling destination.
