The word home conjures up many feelings. Comfort, security, privacy, family… there’s simply no other place like it. There are times, however, when staying at home simply isn’t possible anymore. That is why many elders are choosing to make their next home in an Avalon by Otterbein small house neighborhood… it feels just like home.

A radical departure from traditional nursing homes, the small house model creates a place where elders gather around a dining table for meals and games, share stories in the great room by the fireplace and retire to their own bedrooms and baths at the end of the day. They decide their own meal times and choose their own hobbies. Family and friends are welcome to drop by for a visit at any time. Here elders will live enjoying autonomy, dignity and choice that are often absent from traditional institutions. At Avalon by Otterbein, you are not living in our community… we work in your home.
