Excellent Skilled Nursing Facility

My wife had a stay due to illness at the Otterbein Skilled Nursing Facility wing at their Lebanon, Ohio complex. The treatment she received from the nurses, aides, therapists and all the staff were amazing. They were also very accommodating to me while I stayed with her. They not only took great care and time to work with her daily needs and rehabilitation but also explained to me what they were doing, why she needed it and how it will help get better and also taught me how to continue her rehabilitation when she went home.

Happy with my choice

All of the staff at Otterbein Lebanon have been very helpful and everyone is very friendly. The apartments are great size, definitely big enough for one person. I highly recommend Otterbein for retirement living.

Overall a very nice community.

We love that there is so much to do at Otterbein Lebanon SeniorLife Community. The dining experience is really not good. However, they are short staffed which causes inconsistent quality of food, run out of foods offered.

Overall Great community!

We gave the care services a 4 but she is independent this is based on a few services here and there. Our loved one has made comments that the food is ok. Sometimes it is great and other times not so much. However, the dining room itself is great. She really only does cards for activities, but she loves it. She really liked that they had stuff/glasses for the eclipse.

Poor service in assisted living

My mother has dementia and is in Assisted living at Otterbein Lebanon. It is a beautiful place but the care is lacking. We have continually found that her room is very dirty, laundry not done, sheets not changed on her bed for weeks, food trays and trash pile up and are not taken out of her room When we try to find someone to help we usually find aids sitting around on their phones and we don't get anywhere! We are supposed to be called when a doctor sees her or orders a new prescription and this does not happen and we find out by accident. The lobbies are beautiful but the individual rooms are lacking.

Would recommend.

Mostly the activity level. I am sure it is location specific, but her floor of independent living apartments is very social. But the Otterbein big activities are numerous and very well done. Mom is on a meal plan for dinners. The dining room is not very nice by competition's standards, but a "refresh" is coming early next year. Staffing the dining room is a big issue. My moms personality is very social and she took right to this style of living. She wishes she had done it sooner.

Otterbein Review

Everyone is amazing and encouraging to newcomers. To keep them active and involved in activities. I would recommend Otterbein Lebanon to others, in fact my mother is also looking to move there, she loves my mother-in-law's place and they talked about how good it is.

Community Tour

I thought Otterbein Retirement was fantastic. But it was too big, with multiple floors. I felt it would be hard to navigate for my loved one with vision problems. But they had a pool and nice amenities - just things she wouldn't have used. But I think it would be a great place for younger or more active seniors.

Beautiful Apartment Living for My Mom

It is worth coming to Otterbein Retirement Living Community. This place is beautiful and feels like a family. There would be times the orders would be wrong, and they would deliver the food to the residents.

A wonderful place!

Our father loves to participate in their arts and craft classes and the exercise classes. They also have a hair salon on site that our mother likes to use, and we would recommend this community to others.

Definitely a place to consider

My experience was just before COVID. We chose Otterbein Retirement Living because of the value and what they had to offer in terms of activities. The apartment sizes here seem to be adequate. Overall, my brother likes a lot of the food, but there are some meals that he doesn't like. I would want others to know that they have a variety of levels of quality in terms of apartments. If you have more money, you are able to get a newer, nicer place. My brother moved into one of the older apartments but they were still fixed up very nice. I would definitely recommend.

Positive experience

We really liked the different levels of activities that were available as well as the accessibility of various levels of services. This seemed to be a very close knit community. The rooms they offer for the residents are extremely nice, well thought out and it is not to much and not to small.

My mother was in nursing for a month. Not enough help. Was not pleased at all with her care. For a retirement facility of this stature, nursing was the worst. Brought her home. Would rather pay for good care instead of payout money for awful care.

Rough start, but things are going well now

Our move in was not without problems. Our storage area was filled with bins we have no idea who they belonged to. However we were allowed to move them to another area so that we could use ours. Our guest room (where we stayed the first night) smelled very strongly of "dog". The previous guests evidently had a pet there and the cleaning people did not clean properly. It took forever to get someone to respond to our issues. 1. Additional shelves for storage, 2. light bulbs that were burnt out. Since we've been here almost three months now, things have smoothed out and we have resolved all of our issues.
