Otterbein Perrysburg offers a distinctive approach to senior living through its innovative small house model, providing skilled nursing, memory support, long-term care, and post-acute rehabilitation. Instead of following the traditional nursing home structure, the community is comprised of a neighborhood made up of five homes nestled on cul-de-sacs within a pleasant residential area. Each home is designed to feel welcoming and familiar, featuring 12 private suites with individual bathrooms, a shared kitchen and living room, and a secure backyard patio, all intended to foster a genuine sense of home and community.
The small house model at Otterbein Perrysburg emphasizes person-centered care and personal autonomy. Residents, known respectfully as elders, are empowered to make choices about their daily lives—from when to wake up to what and when to eat, as well as how to spend their days. There are no rigid schedules or strict mealtimes, allowing for maximum independence and comfort. Family meals and communal living areas encourage social connection while private suites ensure dignity and personal space.
Care at Otterbein Perrysburg is highly personalized, provided by a small, consistent team of licensed nurses, nursing assistants, and therapists, available around the clock. This dedicated staffing approach leads to strong, meaningful relationships and deep familiarity between caregivers and elders, further enhancing individualized attention and support. The small house environment supports both long-term residents and those staying temporarily for rehabilitation after illness or injury, with post-acute care and therapy conveniently integrated into daily life.
Amenities in the residences are designed for both comfort and accessibility, with features such as remotely controlled personal heating, complimentary Wi-Fi, and spacious, walk-in showers in each private suite. Safety is supported by an emergency call system, while secure personal medication and supply cabinets in each suite replace the need for traditional nurses’ stations, maintaining both privacy and peace of mind.
Otterbein Perrysburg draws inspiration from its surrounding community, reflecting the blend of historic charm and modern convenience found in the city of Perrysburg. The local area offers rich opportunities for engagement, shopping, and dining, and the nearby Maumee River and historic downtown create an inviting backdrop for daily living. The community’s partnership with initiatives that support small house neighborhoods ensures that elders experience connection, choice, and fulfillment as central aspects of their care.
Life at Otterbein Perrysburg is built to honor each resident’s individuality while providing a welcoming, home-like atmosphere and access to high-quality skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and memory support. Whether elders have chosen Otterbein Perrysburg as their permanent home or are temporarily benefiting from its rehabilitative services, they are welcomed and treated as valued members of a close-knit community.
