We went to Otterbein SeniorLife Franklin. They had a woodshop, painting, and a greenhouse. The rooms were fine. The only problem was they didn't have two-bedroom units. It was just a main room and a bedroom. The bathrooms were a little old and they had high curbs, getting in and out of them. Otterbein is a little bit older, but part of its charm was it's older. It would have been a lovely place to go. The atmosphere was wonderful. The only reason we needed a two-bedroom apartment is that our parents don't sleep together, but there were couples that were in their one-bedroom apartments and that wasn't the issue. The issue is, the price they were charging for the second person was almost as much as they were charging for one person. We have visited lots of assisted living places and usually, the second person is less than $1000 because mostly you're just paying for food. The first person is paying for the two-bedroom apartment, so the second person doesn't cost much, but Otterbein was charging like $3780 for the second person. Every place else we looked at is anywhere from $700 to $1000. Adding a second person made it astronomically expensive. If you need assisted living and you just need a one-bedroom, it's amazing, I'd go there. They had all the extra activity spaces.

I went to Otterbein SeniorLife Franklin. It was very nice. I can't say anything less about it. They were very, very good there. They take really good care of their patients. The rooms were clean. The patients were well taken care of. The staff was very attentive to the patients. I saw the dining room, and it was very nice and welcoming. The rooms were nice. For one person, they were comfortable. They were playing bingo and things like that with the residents, so that was nice.
