Assisted Living Communities in London, OH

"My friend is at Springfield Assisted Living. I like the community. Everybody seems good and friendly. The aides are nice, friendly, and helpful. Most of them are willing to help their clients. They seem to work well with my friend. The food is okay. The maintenance is good. The facility seems nice and kept clean. Even though my friend doesn't participate, they do offer a lot of activities. They do bowling, softball, card games, bingo, and craft. They have movie nights. I expect a lot for its price, and I would say it's not well worth it at all."

"Rooms are good and spacious. I’ve have yet to eat here but my mother says the food is great. All interactions I’ve had has been wonderful. They all have been very welcoming and nice."

"The tour we had of The Ashford of Grove City was very good. It's a very aesthetically pleasing place. They have a very good coordination team for activities for memory care patients who need that next level of engagement. The staff member who gave the tour was amazing. She went over everything and answered all my questions. The rooms were good. They're big enough. They each have their own bathroom and private areas, so that was nice. The dining areas were huge and very open. They have plenty of room for a lot of people. It's a very well put-together place. They're very well-spoken on the issue, too. They know what they're talking about, and they know the answers to all the questions and that kind of stuff."

"The Carriage Court of Grove City looked nice. They had recently painted the entire interior and were replacing all the carpet, so it was looking nice. I toured a couple of the rooms where people were living and how they had them decorated, and they looked nice and they looked spacious. The person who accommodated me during the tour was very nice, I liked her a lot. She was very, very helpful, she kept in touch with us, and gave us all the information we needed. I saw their dining area, it looks nice and clean and it was big, but I did not try the food. I saw a bunch of the residents getting on the shuttle bus and heading out for lunch. So they're excited about that, that was fun. They've got a lot of activities scheduled there. I met a bunch of the people that worked there and everybody was friendly. The facilities looked very clean. However, it was a little cluttered because they were still replacing the carpet but the section they have done looks nice."

"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."

"Bickford of Upper Arlington was very nice and very friendly. The staff was very nice about answering questions and touring. I met a couple of people who helped with the tour, and I also talked to some residents. The building was very inviting and very nice. Everything was great."

"We toured Trustwell Living at Urbana Place. The ladies were very nice. They absolutely made my father feel more comfortable because he was not feeling comfortable. He will move there for respite. The lady who is in charge was extremely helpful. It is more of a home atmosphere with apartments. So, you have your privacy having an apartment instead of just having a room where somebody can walk in at any time. If my father leaves and feels uncomfortable about leaving his door unlocked, he can lock it. I was also amazed at how big the closets were, and the bathrooms were really, really large, too. It has a chair lift, which he uses to sleep, and so that will be just like home. He was very tickled to know that there's a microwave and a little refrigerator, and he can have his snacks and things there like he does at home. They told him to bring whatever he wanted that would make him feel more comfortable and make it more like home. They were just wonderful. Right now, they don't have a normal cook, so the staff is cooking. They're really putting forth a lot of effort into serving good meals that have flavor, and they said their residents are very happy with that. I was impressed with the people, probably more so than the facility. I think that the people make the facility a comfortable and happy place to live. They're very helpful, caring, and friendly. I thought the facility looked clean, but a little worn. The lounge was very inviting with the fireplace. They have a nice little summer room in the back where you could go. The lady had brought her own plates from home that had birds on them, and somebody else who lives in the community brought a clock that chirps, and I thought that was really cool."

"I toured Brookdale Pinnacle. It was a wonderful tour. I was able to speak with some residents that were there, and it reminded me of a hotel. It had very high-end furnishings and felt very homey. I like the apartments. They looked like an apartment versus just a room. They have lots of amenities. They have courtyards, a sitting area that has a piano, an exercise area, and a private dining room that you could reserve if the family wanted to get together. The dining room is menu-driven. So, it reminded you of a restaurant. The staff answered all my questions. They were very caring. They brought up and asked questions that my sister and I didn't consider, and so it allowed us to have the opportunity to get a better idea of what my mom needed, as well as what they could offer."

"Brookdale Muirfield is a nice community, but it is assisted living and my mom wanted independent living. Nevertheless, it was a very nice and clean place. I liked the way that they had things set up. Everybody was very polite and nice. If my mom was going into an assisted living community, it definitely would be a place that I would be looking at."

"They were very welcoming at Brookdale Marysville. It's big, and when you walk in, you see the dining area and the entertainment area. The staff was very friendly. The food was good and the dining area looked like a large entertainment area. There was a piano in there. They have activities like Bingo, outings to different places to eat and shop, exercises classes, and church services. It's an older facility."

"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."

"I looked at the Sunrise of Dublin. I liked the people that we spoke with and the tour. It was a new and lovely facility. They allowed pets, which was a big pro. It was a beautiful facility. Everything in there was very nice and lovely. Mom doesn't like to have to look out at a parking lot, and she would have had to look at a parking lot from her windows there. The staff members were wonderful. They were very friendly and very knowledgeable. They took a lot of time with us."

"I went to Walnut Crossing. I think it's absolutely wonderful. The residents were very, very open, and walking around and talking, and they just seemed so happy. The place was very neat and clean. I didn't get any food, and I had to ask for something to drink again like in the other places. I went into the office with two people and I said, "Could I have something to drink?" And they had a refrigerator right there and they pulled out a bottle of water, which I thought was very good. Both of the ladies that talked to me were absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed them. When I left, the residents were playing bingo, and when I was given a tour there was a huge calendar on the wall, and from the time you got up to the time you wanted to go to bed, there was something for you to do. They had a nice library. They had a nice room to workout/exercise. They had a person who was in charge of all the activities. They had a quilt group for those that liked to do quilting. I absolutely love that place. If I could move in there today, I would do it, but it costs $3,600 a month. Once a month they have a happy hour, where residents can get a beer, or a mixed drink. They had popcorn on movie nights. They just have something all the time."

"Harrison on 5th/Senior Star is a stylish building in a terrific location. The staff is amazing and always happy to help. They have many activities to choose from such as dinners out, arts and craft, movie nights, ect…. They also celebrate a different country every month and offer a fun event on Fridays to highlight the food and culture of that country. My brother lived in independent care and made many friends and was instantly part of a community. They also offer assisted living and memory care."
