“I was at Otterbein Rehab for 3 weeks after surgery. I had excellent care from the medical staff and therapists. They are all very caring, thoughtful, friendly. and they treated me like I was their only patient. I was very happy with all of this special attention and great care!”

★★★★★Karen Minnemeyer · 2025-11-25 · via Google
“I spent several weeks in Otterbein rehab after breaking 6 ribs. This included a couple of stays at St. Francis due to breathing issues. I was very well taken care of, loved the staff and hopefully made some lasting friendships. Staff was professional, caring, and sometimes just plain fun. I never felt overlooked, forgotten or not important to everyone.”

★★★★★Marty Johnson · 2025-05-14 · via Google
“I love living at Otterbein Franklin! I have met so many nice people! Wonderful neighbors. They have so many activities & health & wellness classes! We have groups come in to entertain us. Hibachi grill & a Bistro that are fabulous. So pleasant to walk around here & oh, we have outdoor games! Pickleball, Boche Ball, cornhole & shuffleboard. Bingo & Euchre & seated volleyball. A clubhouse with pool.…”
