Otterbein Union Township SeniorLife Neighborhood

Otterbein Union Township is a nursing care community in Batavia, Ohio, offering skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory support, and long-term care in a small house residential model. The community houses residents in five small houses, each with private suites, shared spaces, and home-cooked meals served communally, creating a warm, close-knit environment designed to feel like home rather than a traditional institutional facility.

Residents receive personalized care from a dedicated team of licensed nurses, nursing assistants (called Elder Assistants), and therapists, supported by a higher caregiver-to-elder ratio and consistent nursing partners available around the clock. The community offers physical, speech, and occupational therapy services, as well as in-home care through Otterbein Home Health for residents transitioning back to their own homes. Both temporary rehabilitation stays and long-term care placements are available.

The community emphasizes individual choice and flexibility in daily life. Residents are encouraged to share ideas for activities and meals, get up when they want, dine at their preferred times, and spend their day as they choose, without rigid schedules or structured mealtimes. For those receiving memory support, staff are specially trained and design meaningful activities based on each elder's interests and strengths, including art, music, gardening, seasonal celebrations, reminiscence, and cooking.

Located in Union Township on the outskirts of Cincinnati in Clermont County, the community benefits from the area's natural environment, including over 20 miles of trails. The location also provides proximity to the Veterans Administration outpatient clinic, a valuable resource for veteran residents. Friends and family are welcomed to visit anytime for meals, activities, special occasions, and more.
