Vibrant Community Life Creates New Opportunities Every Day

Oberlin is a walkable small college town, also home to a world-famous Conservatory of Music. Our relationship with the college encourages intergenerational relationships and offers easy access to music, art and lifelong learning. Combine that with the cultural and metropolitan resources of nearby Cleveland, and you’ll find a wide variety of enriching opportunities.

The community’s resident-driven lifestyle encourages engagement, purpose and ongoing involvement in lifelong interests. Dozens of committees shape daily resident life, planning programs like concerts, classes and activities, to supportive groups where neighbors help each other.

Our comprehensive approach to continuing care creates the ideal environment for aging in place, creating a culture that encourages wellness and healthy aging.
