The Woodlands at Otterbein Sunset House

Mom lived at the Woodlands for roughly 10 years. She loved her time there. Tara Lloyd (the director) does a terrific job. The staff goes above and beyond to help their residents. There’s always lots of activities, and plenty of outings. If that wasn’t enough, the food is really good! They make every resident feel special.

My mother lives in The Woodlands at Sunset House. She is in a two-bedroom, two-bath home with fireplace and cathedral ceilings. It is gorgeous. It's 2100 square feet and way more than she needs. They provide breakfast and dinner. There's a hairdresser on site while they bring in bookmobiles and local banks. They provide transportation to grocery stores every week and to and from doctor's appointments. My mother loves the food. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. There is a low turnover, with the exception of the young people that work in the dining room in the evenings since a lot of them are college students. The core staff is the same all the time. It is the most expensive in our community, but they do a good job. They have an activities director and they have movies twice a week, they bring in musicians, hold a cocktail hour every other Friday night, and trips to local restaurants or the theater. Pets are allowed, as many as you would like, as long as you are capable of taking care of them.

The Woodlands is a treasure- well maintained, high quality independent living community on the campus of Otterbein Sunset House. Apartments are large with architectural character. The food is top notch- menu changes daily. There are so many programs and activities to participate in both on and off campus. The staff is great. Residents and staff know everyone by name and care about each other. When someone’s needs change they have the option to move to a higher level of care at Sunset House!
