Otterbein-cridersville

Nestled in the heart of Auglaize County, Otterbein-Cridersville provides compassionate, expert-level skilled nursing care to seniors in one of northwest Ohio's most welcoming small communities. Located at 100 Red Oak Drive in Cridersville, this community combines the tranquility of small-town Ohio living with the professional medical support that families need when a loved one requires round-the-clock nursing attention. Cridersville sits just minutes from Lima, Ohio, giving residents and their families easy access to St. Rita's Medical Center and Lima Memorial Health System — two full-service hospitals offering everything from emergency care to specialized rehabilitation services. For families traveling to visit, US Route 30 and State Route 197 provide straightforward access from Lima, Wapakoneta, and surrounding communities. The surrounding area offers a gentle, pastoral setting that many seniors find deeply comforting. The historic city of Wapakoneta — birthplace of astronaut Neil Armstrong and home to the Neil Armstrong Air & Space Museum — lies just a short drive north, offering families a meaningful local destination during visits. Lima's downtown square, Walmart Supercenter on Elida Road, and a full range of dining options along North Cable Road mean that family members and staff alike have convenient access to everyday needs. Auglaize County's natural beauty, including the scenic Auglaize River corridor and proximity to Grand Lake St. Marys State Park, gives the region a peaceful character that complements the healing environment Otterbein strives to create. Otterbein SeniorLife, the management organization behind this community, has served Ohio seniors for over a century. Rooted in a faith-based, not-for-profit mission, Otterbein is known for person-centered care, highly trained clinical staff, and a genuine commitment to the dignity and well-being of every resident.
