Assisted Living Communities in Delaware, OH

"I like the feel of Brookdale Muirfield. The staff I met seemed very nice. I really liked the patio area that residents are allowed to go out to. Regarding amenities, they're all comparable to what I was looking at over where my mom is at right now. There's a garden area, and a beauty salon, and all that. They have activities for them. The biggest thing is they keep the residents busy every day. The staff who gave the tour was very trustworthy and very friendly. They explained everything really well. The best thing about this community is all the activities they had, and that outdoor space that the residents were allowed to go into on their own."

"My parents moved there in 2019 when my mom started having more health issues. Mom was assisted living and dad independent. They had a 2BR 2bath with kitchen and balcony when they moved there. It was nice and spacious for their needs. Mom passed away in 2022 and my Dad has been there needing no assistance except occasional blood pressure checks since then but moved to a studio apt. He is 95 years old, very hard of hearing and uses a walker but does things on his own. He enjoys going on outings to see Columbus (museums, restaurants, parks) since he lived in Cleveland most of his life. Staff are great- supportive when my mom was getting hospice care there and genuinely caring. Cara the director who has been there since my parents moved in is a bundle of energy and she really enjoys the residents."

"My mom moved into the memory care area at Dublin Retirement Village in March, right before the facility had to restrict visitation due to the virus. Despite the shutdown, the staff and caregivers made every effort to keep residents happy and families connected. They went above and beyond to help my mom adjust to her new surroundings and the virus restrictions. They have done a good job keeping all residents safe during this pandemic. Now that we can visit outside, they have set up numerous stations for safe visitation with family members, which has been wonderful. I would definitely recommend this memory care facility."

"My friend is now at Brookdale Trillium Crossing. I like the facility. I like the entranceway in that it opens up into the dining room so that there's kind of a sense of community there. I like the fact that she had only been there about three weeks, but the person at the front desk called her by name when we walked out. She's in assisted living, and one of the assistants there wanted to make sure that my friend knew that if we were leaving, we needed to sign back in. She had left before with someone else and didn't sign back in. So, I thought that was good that the person on her floor brought that up to her and walked back and showed her where the back door was if she wanted to go out the back way. She asked my friend if she had a fob so she could get in the back door, and my friend did not, so she said, 'Okay, I'll make sure that you get one.' To me, that exhibited that they were keeping a close eye on her whereabouts as they should. My friend's apartment is accommodating some of her furniture that was pretty big. The ceilings are fairly high. Even though it's only a one-bedroom apartment, the ceiling gives you the feeling that it's much larger than it is. The bathroom is a nice big size. She has a full kitchen. Her furniture seems to fit in there pretty well. My friend is still unpacking, but I thought that was pretty good. For activities, I know they have a pool, but it was not open at the time because they were doing something to it. My friend likes the fact that they go out shopping every Wednesday and she can get on a travel van and go with whoever else is going shopping, and she can go to the local stores. I like that. She likes the selection of food, and she's very picky. She likes the food, and of course, that's important. She has the option to bring it back to her room, which she is doing because her room is pretty close by. I know she's doing an exercise class, too. So, I was very happy that she was getting into that right away. "

"My experience with Danbury in Westerville has been exceptional. As a facility entrusted with the care of my aging parents, Danbury has consistently exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The facility is impeccably clean and well-kept. From the moment you step inside, you can immediately sense the dedication to maintaining a comfortable and hygienic environment for residents. I believe this type of attention to detail speaks volumes about their overall commitment to quality. What truly distinguishes Danbury, however, is its staff. In all my interactions, from administrative personnel to caregivers, I have encountered individuals who are not only highly professional but also genuinely caring. Their compassion and dedication to their work are evident in the way they treat residents and family members alike. My parents are in memory care, and I am grateful for the opportunities they have to engage in the 5 to 6 activities offered daily. These activities are designed especially for memory care residents and include things like sing-alongs, pet therapy, storytelling, and chair exercise. They have even taken 'field trips' which allow residents to get out and experience the beautiful parks nearby. Another standout feature of Danbury is their food services. The meals provided are nutritious and, according to my mother, delicious, thus ensuring residents are well-nourished and satisfied. Most importantly, the nursing and caregiving staff at Danbury approach their work with a profound sense of respect and dignity, which has been incredibly reassuring for my family. Knowing that my parents are safe and in such capable and compassionate hands brings us great peace of mind."

"We went to Bickford of Worthington. The building seemed very open and very comfortable. The staff members were friendly and knowledgeable. They seemed to be very supportive of the residents there. They were open with information. If I had any questions or if I thought of anything, they were ready to answer whatever my concerns were in preparation for my grandmother. They had various sizes of rooms. The ones I got to see were the smaller ones. Depending on what size of room you might need, they had a schedule based on how much you could pay. I think it was either per day or per week or something like that. The place looked clean and well-kept from what I could tell. I didn't get a chance to try their food. It smelled good though. From what I could see, it looked like the people were comfortable."

"I toured the assisted living facility of Alpine House Of Columbus. I like that when you go in, they have the black iron work and all the trees in the community area, and where you eat. I like that part. I did not like the apartment space because it didn't have a stove. I would really like to have a small kitchen, a bedroom, and a bath. I didn't like that when you walked in the door, you could see the whole apartment. I also did not like the area. The tour was great, though. They also mentioned that the meals and snacks are included, and I like that part."

"My brother has moved into Brookdale Westerville. He and his wife were both happy with it. They chose it because the place was clean and nice, and the residents when we visited seemed happy. I know the price had something to do with it, too, because memory care is expensive. The staff is very friendly and the nurses are very kind. According to my brother, the food is delicious. I know they've got activities. I know they do stuff with him, but we haven't been there long enough. It's very clean."

"I will move into The Village of Westerville. The first thing was that the facility manager invited me and my friend to have lunch there, and the food was delicious. It's very nice on the first floor, and the courtyard at the back. I'm very impressed by the whole facility. Everyone was friendly. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. They had a small refrigerator and a small stove. The building is built like a square, with a courtyard in the middle. They also have seating spaces in front of the building and different places outside."

"My tour of Oakleaf Village of Columbus was nice. It was a wonderful place. Britney was very knowledgeable about the facility. The room was nice; it was almost like an apartment and it could offer a great deal of independence to my mom. The facility was clean. What I liked most about the facility was that the dining room area was almost like a restaurant to the point where you could order food any time of day. It was like limitless food and it was included in your package. It looked almost gourmet-like; it wasn't cafeteria-style or undesirable looking. It was nice looking too, which to me was important. I think it was during Halloween that I was there, so everything looked nicely decorated. The staff was very pleasant and very warm."

"This place was the answer to our prayers. Her apartment is the perfect size and close to the activity room. We like that we can come visit her anytime- even eat meals with her. Thank you for the Walnut Crossing team for keeping her safe, healthy and engaged!"

"I visited Westerwood. They have a lot of variation in services and a lot of things to do. I liked that place. The guy sat down, took a lot of time with me, and went over stuff with me. He went over everything thoroughly with me. I interacted with the receptionist there. She was very accommodating. The facility looked very nice. They had a studio, a one-bedroom, and a two-bedroom. They had a lot of different types of facilities. They had their bank in there. They had an actual weight room in there. They had a little bit of everything. Anything you wanted, they had there. They have somebody in there to help you walk better. They have physical therapy onsite. They have movie nights, and they have a choir. They have things to do all day long if you want to."

"The staff is very caring and compassionate, and the facility is very clean. They are even providing farm to table food. I am so blessed that my parents are living here."

"The Coventry Senior Living was very pretty. It's only been there for 14 months so it was the newest with the biggest rooms and the most activities. I met the woman who gave me a tour, I met two nurses, the chef, the dining room supervisor, and the receptionist. All of them are very friendly. They stopped at the table where we were talking and chatted for a few minutes. All of them stopped, except the receptionist, because she had to stay in the lobby. I did not eat there but I talked to the chef. He said that they don't open cans and they don't freeze their vegetables. All of their vegetables are fresh. That's the only place where I got any information about food. I just don't know what it would cost for my cousin to go there, and that was the drawback. They were a little vague. They said they're willing to do an assessment, even if we haven't decided she's coming, like on FaceTime or something, because my cousin is not local. So, they said they could do a long-distance assessment, then they could tell us which level of care she would be in. If I were younger and had unlimited time, I could do all these assessments and find out exactly what it would cost everywhere, but I'm not younger. They've got a beautiful library and three dining rooms connected to each other. It's beautifully laid out. It's in a busy neighborhood, a construction zone, so I wouldn't give the neighborhood a high mark, but the facility is beautiful. There's a parking garage."
