Wellness

Incidental help is here when you need it. Personal care and companionship, routine wellness checks, nurse and clinic services.

Professionals in our wellness clinics routinely check your health and review your care regimens. Skilled nursesare there to answer emergency calls. But wellness is more than that.

Maybe you’ve got a new medication you need to review. Perhaps your family’s out of town and you crave a little companionship. Or maybe you’re feeling under the weather and wish for someone to help tackle the housework. We can help.

Call the Wellness line when you need personal care, homemaking, companionship, or transportation. We can even lend a hand with pet care. For members of the Otterbein family, we want all to be well.
