Otterbein Monclova is a unique senior living community located in an established residential area in Monclova, Ohio. Designed around the small house model, the community is composed of a neighborhood featuring five homes set along quiet cul-de-sacs. Each home accommodates twelve elders, who enjoy the privacy of their own suite, each with a private bath. The design of the homes fosters a sense of warmth and connection, offering communal kitchens and living spaces crowned with a central hearth. These inviting areas serve as gathering spots where residents can visit with friends, family, and care team members, and participate in a variety of cultural, recreational, and social activities that encourage meaningful engagement every day.
Central to the Otterbein Monclova experience is a philosophy of person-centered care that allows elders to make their own choices—from when to get up in the morning to what and when they eat, and how they wish to spend their day. Rather than imposing rigid schedules or routines, the community prioritizes the independence and dignity of each resident. This approach not only helps maintain a sense of autonomy but also ensures that Otterbein Monclova feels like home, rather than an institution, for everyone who lives there. The environment is one of comfort and familiarity, tailored to inspire connection and life enrichment both inside and beyond the walls of each house.
Otterbein Monclova offers comprehensive services, providing support for skilled nursing, long-term care, post-acute rehabilitation, and memory support. Residents benefit from 24-hour care delivered by a dedicated, small team of licensed nurses, nursing assistants, and therapists who get to know each elder personally. Whether someone is living there long-term or is a short-term guest for rehabilitation following an illness or injury, all are treated as valued members of the community. For those requiring specialized memory care, services are tailored to honor individual preferences and provide safety, comfort, and enrichment in a secure, homelike setting.
To expand its accessibility and make its person-centered care philosophy available to more elders, Otterbein Monclova has added ten new private suites to the neighborhood. These suites feature remote-controlled personal heating, complimentary Wi-Fi, and spacious bathrooms outfitted with walk-in showers, providing added convenience and comfort. Residents also enjoy the peace of mind of an emergency call system in a setting that blends seamlessly with the welcoming character of the surrounding Monclova community.
Located just a short drive from Toledo and near the scenic banks of the Maumee River, Otterbein Monclova is conveniently situated for access to a variety of amenities and attractions in the area. The broader community features highlights such as Cannonball Prairie Metropark and is known for its small-town charm. At Otterbein Monclova, however, elders find more than just a place to stay; they find a home where they can live with independence, autonomy, and purpose, supported by a philosophy that truly puts their needs and preferences at the center of every day.
