Assisted Living Communities in Columbus, IN

"My dad is a resident of Grand Victorian of Greenwood, and they know him here. The staff is great. We've gotten to know a lot of them on a personal level. We had hugs and that sort of thing. They're all very caring and quick with the warmth, so we appreciate that. When they made the change, they made some changes to the food. It's the same chef, but they used to have Coke machines here. So they would bring them Cokes, but they've taken those out. Sometimes, the soup options they used to offer variety. Now, it's almost always either they have a choice of chicken noodle or tomato soup. When my dad first came here, he was just level one assisted. We've got the room right outside. They've got a gazebo that residents are welcome to go and sit on, and it's got a pond. They put the fountain on in the summer for people who are into ducks, geese, and a lot of animals. We've got pictures of the turtle and the egrets, and we've got bird feeders outside of his windows that he's always taking pleasure in, not so much anymore since he's advanced to a different level, but the grounds are nice. The common areas are nice, and they've got activities. They do bingo. They've got the activities director, and they take trips. It's got everything he needs. Every Wednesday, there are cocktails and concerts. So people will come in and play instruments or sing or bands or whatever; however, it's beyond his capabilities right now to engage in that kind of thing."

"I toured Bickford of Greenwood. I liked the fact that it was small. They only had 16 beds, and all were private in their memory care. It was very homey and family-oriented, which was wonderful. I thought it was a beautiful facility, but it's a little bit higher, out of the price range. The staff was very informative and caring. They're very good at what they are doing. Their goal is to try to incorporate everyone into the common area. They're set up like somebody's very large living room, and off to one side was a big bar with a full kitchen over in the corner. So, it's almost like people gathering at the bar at their own home, and I thought that was a nice touch."

"My brother-in-law is staying at the Silver Oaks Health Campus for long-term care. They take really good care of him. He doesn't like to go to a lot of activities. He doesn't want to get dressed. He just wants to be in a hospital gown, and they tolerate that. So, they spoil him a little bit, but I feel like he's safe and he has a private place, so he has his own room. So, with as much as he's paying, I think they could help more with his grooming that he can't do. They have a lot of activities. Like once a month, they invite the family in for brunch and lots of interaction. They have moving, exercise, and craft things. There's always something going on. The staff is very energetic."

"I did visit with my mom and it’s a very nice facility. The rooms are beautiful. They are big and spacious. The dining area also looked good. The whole place is just beautiful. The staff were very nice and wonderful. Mom told me if she had to go or was going to go to some place, she would go there and I would move her in there in a heartbeat. "

"My mom moved into Covered Bridge Health Campus. It's a good, homey place. Everybody is nice, and they are tending to her needs just fine. They just went above and beyond to help me get her in there, as far as getting her on the PathWays program. The food is fine. She likes it. The facility is always nice, clean, and roomy, and there are lots of places for them to gather and do activities. They take them on bus trips. They do bingo, and they have a happy hour on Friday evenings."

"I will move into Lutheran Community Home. I have friends who live there, and we have a dining area we can go to if we want to eat. We have a kitchenette, but if I want to go eat in the dining room I can. There are all kinds of activities going on. They have entertainment come in the evening mostly. The staff was nice and helpful. The food was fine. The facility was very clean. The buildings aren't that old. I went to a luncheon where they had entertainment. My daughter went with me and met a lot of friends that I didn't know were there that day. There are elevators all over the place and nice hallways."

"Compass Park Indiana Masonic Home was a beautiful campus. It had large open spaces, a lot of new buildings, and newly renovated buildings. That to me is the cream of the crop. The staff was very friendly, very concerned, and almost like family to the residents. They had all kinds of activities down there. They've got many trips off- campus for the residents, they have a medical facility on site, regular group outings, football nights in the lounge, a pub where people gather to watch baseball games, and huge beautiful dining rooms. The food was amazing. They cater to the individual if there are special dietary needs. They make sure that the kitchen staff is aware of them and prepares special meals just for them. I had a friend there that was gluten intolerant and they had their onsite bakery staff make him a gluten-free birthday cake and that was the first time he's had a birthday cake in many, many years. He loved it. They have assisted living, full-time nursing medical center, independent housing, and individual homes and cottages on the campus that get the same benefits as the residents in the assisted living. It's a wonderful place, and it's less expensive than a lot of the facilities that are in Northwest Indiana where I live. It's highly recommended because of the atmosphere of being a family there and their focus on the residents."

"Mom will be moving into Morning Pointe. The people seem to be very interested with the new patients. From the times we've visited, everybody has been very kind and very helpful. They answered all our questions. The apartment is well-lit. We moved her furniture in to give her the taste of home. It is just a very nice place. The dining area is just like a restaurant too. I mean it is very nice, very personable, and very inviting. "

"Autumn Trace seemed a nice enough place. The staff who gave us the tour did a very good job of taking us around and explaining everything. The place looks very nice inside since it's brand new. The rooms are adequate and nice enough and seemed like a good design. All of the people we talked to and dealt with were nice. It was all one floor, and at each corner of the facility, they had an screened or glassed-in porch area where you can sit out. They also had laundry facilities on all four corners."

"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."

"McKay Manor was very nice. The facilities were very good and the nursing home was very nice. I didn't think my parents are ready for the assisted living yet. If someone is ready for this type of facility, I would recommend it to them. "

"I toured Timber Creek Village - Shelbyville. I like it because everything is new and it's very close to my daughter, but it's very expensive. I like the arrangements of the rooms and everything. It's a very long building, so if you want to go from one end to the other for some reason and you were disabled, you'd have to have one of those mobile things, and I think that would be a problem. I wish the cars had a cover attached to the building or something, so you won't have to get out in the rain to get in and out of your car. The staff were fine, I had no problem. The facility was very clean."

"I am moving into Crown Pointe Senior Living Community, and I liked the dining area the most. It was spacious and convenient and was on the first floor. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. The facility was top rate. They have a courtyard and a patio. My room will be a big studio apartment with a kitchenette, refrigerator, and microwave."
