Located just minutes from downtown Westerville and Otterbein University, Westerwood might be the fresh start you’ve been looking for. Formerly known as Friendship Village Columbus, our 23-acre Life Care community is designed to appeal to today’s modern elder who wants more out of life: More access to natural beauty. Expanded culinary choices. Greater fitness and vitality. New friendships. And plenty of opportunities to learn, grow, and create.

Just steps from your door lives our certified nature preserve, where residents delight in wild deer and more than 200 varieties of birds. As one resident said, “It’s like living in the middle of the woods, but you’re in the city!”

In a typical year, we offer more than 120 live events on campus. But you also get access to an extensive menu of fitness and lifelong learning programs through Otterbein University. As a nonprofit Life Care community, you’ll enjoy a full continuum of care and living options, all under one roof. Choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, or long-term care.
