Assisted Living Communities in London, OH

"I toured StoryPoint Grove City. When I first walked in, the lobby was very nicely decorated. It was a very welcoming environment. There was a fire going in the fireplace. It was decorated very tastefully for Easter. I got there a little early, so I had a chance to walk around and tour myself. There's a room with games and computers, and I looked in the dining area. Nobody was eating yet. The way the receptionist interacted with some residents who had come up to ask questions or get a copy of the schedule was very welcoming. Then Amanda came, and we went into a room on the side. It was a beautiful room. She gave me an overview of what StoryPoint can offer and a little bit about their pricing. The first thing we saw was their available apartment, which my mom would be moving into. It was empty. And she said that somebody had just recently moved out. So, they still had to do some cleaning, but then she showed me the model of the one-bedroom apartment. She showed me from my mom's room where the laundry facility is. She showed me the hair salon. She explained how the dining room works, the menus, and the food delivered. The residents order off the menu, and everything is made to order. All their food is made from scratch. They don't use any canned soup. They make their salad dressings and even cure their meat to prevent nitrates. The media room was very welcoming, and she told me about some of the activities they have there. She showed me all of it. There's a storage room for residents' belongings, but it's also within that room. Each one has a locked area where they can put some of their things, which is nice, and watching Amanda interact with the residents as we come across them in the hallway, everybody just looked very happy and pleasant."

"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 has been at Urbana Place for 5 years. I did not think she would live long when she went in because she had lost so much weight and was falling at home a lot. She has gained a healthy weight and is 97 this year. It is good to know her needs are taken care of. They have the best nurses and the staff is always smiling and so helpful."

"I toured Brookdale Pinnacle for assisted living. The staff who gave the tour was lovely. Everything was impeccable. It was fine."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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. "

"Overall, The Bristol was a very nice place. It's very new, so everything's sparkling clean. The staff was very, very pleasurable to talk to. In fact, I knew a couple of people who moved in there and they liked it very much. The rooms and the closet areas were a little smaller than we liked, but other than that, we liked everything about it."

"I went to look at Wexner Heritage Village - Creekside at The Village. The place was very clean. The staff was wonderful. The lady who greeted us was kind of not wonderful. But the lady who runs it was very informative, great to talk to, and answered a lot of questions. It was a very nice place. I saw the menu, but I did not try anything on it. They took us around and showed us the apartments, which were very nice. They were having a little concert downstairs, which was nice to see as well. It was almost like a hotel."

"I toured Kensington Place Retirement Community. I like the apartments. The assisted living and the memory care apartments were the same size as the independent living. They had a nice layout for community areas and a nice outside area where people could sit. It's very nice. The staff members were all friendly and they related well to the residents. The facility was very well made."

"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."
