Otterbein Cridersville was nice. They redecorated all the public areas. Everything was very clean and very updated. Everything was just redone and it looked nice. We were impressed. The staff is good and they were very pleasant during our tour.

Otterbein Cridersville seems like a very nice community. The residents are given good activities, so they don't get bored. They have arts and crafts. They have days where they can play cards together and take walks around the pond areas. There is just about anything to keep them active. The apartments were very nice. They have a studio apartment that had its own TV and sitting areas. The food seemed really well prepared as they adjusted to their diets. The people were very compassionate towards the residents. They cared about what they thought and and how their quality of life was.

Otterbein Cridersville was beautiful and clean. The dining area was beautiful. They have a beauty shop. They have exactly what my mom needs. They have three meals a day. The staff was super nice. The whole assisted living part was just beautiful. The dining room was beautiful and there was lots of space. The lighting was beautiful. The tables set were beautiful. The whole area was just very inviting and very beautiful. They have free cable and telephone. They have covered patios with lawn furniture that you can sit out and look out in the country. The setting was beautiful.

We have looked at Otterbein Cridersville, but my mom just doesn't want to move out of her home. It was spacious, very clean, updated, and beautiful. They have a refrigerator, a stove range, an oven, and a sink in the room. They have everyday kitchen appliances. There's a microwave, washer, and dryer. The staff was very personable,but yet businesslike. She explained everything. If we have any questions, she was more than willing to explain everything.

My parents are going to Otterbein Cridersville. They gave us a really good deal. They were very kind and they tried very hard to help us out. Nicole was very knowledgeable about everything. She was very kind. It was a good experience. Well, my in-laws had been there, so we were familiar with it. The places are very nice. The facility is clean and everybody's friendly. It was just what my parents needed. I can't say anything about activities, but what they let us know that they were doing sounded very nice. The facility was very good. Everything was very nice and maintained very well. They have a pool, a gym, a salon, and a nice dining room.

The visit I had with Otterbein Cridersville was not helpful at all. The director did not take us to see the assisted living area and seemed very persistent about placing my loved one in the independent living area (which was not going to work at all). It's a very large community. They have independent, assisted, and long term care facilities. If I was to rate the facility itself, it would probably be a 4 or 5, but my experience was not that well because I didn't feel like I was being listened to and strongly encouraged to place him in the independent that I didn't think would work at all.

Cridersville History
Cridersville has always been a great little village in a beautiful region of Ohio. But the area was lacking in options for senior living. In the early 1980s, the Health and Welfare ministries of the United Methodist Church recommended it for a retirement community. The Westview United Methodist Church, along with the Cridersville town officials, aggressively promoted the idea to Otterbein Senior Lifestyle Choices. Contributions from Westview and a generous donation from a local landowner made the vision possible. In March 1988, the Otterbein Cridersville Community broke ground on the 56-acre site. The first residents moved in that December. The continuing growth and success of the community shows just what vision, faith and determination can do.
However, our origins date back to 1912, when the first Otterbein community was built in Lebanon, Ohio. The full story of Otterbein’s founding is quite inspiring.
Originally a home for the elderly and orphaned, in the 1960’s Otterbein devoted itself exclusively to enhancing the quality of life and holistic growth of older persons.
Since then, Otterbein Senior Lifestyle Choices has grown to include retirement communities, skilled nursing and rehab neighborhoods, and home health. We continue to look forward with vision and faith.
