Assisted Living Communities in Marysville, OH

"My father is at The Ashford at Sturbridge assisted living. He just wasn't happy with the food, but their chef is working to make that better. I've been talking with the director and such. The physical appearance is excellent. They've only been open a couple of years. I think it'll be three years this coming January. Their services are very good for both the aides and the nurses. They're very attentive. When I talk with them and ask if they could take care of something for my dad, they're always very willing to do that. I haven't eaten there since January of 2019 when they first moved in. The menu is varied, and I think some of my dad's problem is that he's 88 and your taste buds start to go when you get older. Things just don't taste as you remember them. They take them out to restaurants once in a while and out to shopping. They also have a little car show in their parking lot, and they've had the OSU alumni band come there and play. They have a lot of good activities. They have an onsite beautician and a library. My dad said the food has been very good the last two weeks and it's been three weeks ago since I talked with management about it. I know he's paying less than he would at some other places. They're very responsive. They've closed their facility due to Covid before the governor closed the State of Ohio. I feel that they're very concerned about the welfare of their residents. That's their number one priority and I'm thankful for that."

"I enjoyed my visit at Trillium Place. The physical appearance of it was very nice and very pleasant. I was very impressed with this place. They're very clean. They met any expectations that I might have had. It looked good to me. The rooms that they have were about the same as with the other facilities I visited. When I got there, I didn't see any of the residents doing any activities. It may have been because everybody was getting ready to go to lunch. "

"I found Carriage Court of Hilliard for mom. Its design is exactly like the building that she's in right now. When we walked up, there were rocking chairs on the porch. She has longed to have a rocking chair to sit in because they took them away from the place she's at now. It was inviting and clean, and the people were friendly. The layout is just like where she is. She's 92, and she's blind. I didn't want her to have to learn a new facility, and it just worked out perfect. The room was clean. There is carpeting in it now, but they were getting ready to remodel it and redo the carpeting. We talked to them, and they are putting down laminate floor; that was wonderful. She has a walker. She's 92 and carpet isn't always friendly. They're changing that for her. It has a cabinet and a countertop. She didn't have any storage like that before, so that'll be a nice thing for her. The bathroom was extremely clean. The whole room was clean. The dining area was like a restaurant, and it's very nice. The tables were spaced out. People were eating and visiting their loved ones, and it looked like Sunday dinner. They had a salon, a bistro where she can get coffee or juice 24/7 and snacks, and a craft room. They also have tables in there, and they do bingo and games. There were puzzles sitting out. It was very tastefully done. There were areas outside of her room where she could sit and entertain someone without having them in her room if she didn't want. There's a courtyard where there are plants and flowers and people sitting. I was very happy. It's the same thing she has now, but much nicer. The staff was very friendly."

"I would have chosen Danbury Columbus for my friend because of the reception that we got when we went there. The staff that took us through that place was very knowledgeable. She spent a lot of time with us and she explained all the services that we really didn't know about that were available. She was just very detailed about answering all the questions that we had. They had occupational therapists on site. It was an older facility, so it's got some wear and tear but the people are the most important thing for us. There were several floors, so the elevators were large. The place was easy to navigate, and they had nice wide halls. The layout was very friendly and very open. I liked the fact that the dining rooms were right there in front, as soon as you walked in. So, you got a sense of community right away because there were people there. And another thing that I liked was that they don't have assigned seating in the dining room. "

"My father is at The Inn, and he's in the memory care area. They have been very helpful, and so far, it's good. The staff was caring and engaged in getting to know him and taking care of his personal preferences. "

"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."

"The lady who did the tour at The Avalon of Lewis Center was good to follow up later with me. She reached out to me several times and they even brought something by my door and left a little gift, a book, on how to pick communities, and things like that. She also followed up with me through email and phone calls multiple times. I thought the tour was great. I liked the facility. It was very clean. It smelled good and it was well-maintained. It was the closest to where we lived so I was considering it during the time that I was looking for my dad."

"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."

"We were very happy with The Forum at Knightsbridge. It looked really good. We were very happy with the people who we met. They were very friendly and very professional. There seemed to be plenty of people there to take care of my mother. "

"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 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 father is at Oakleaf Village. The people are very friendly and nice. The room is beautiful. The pricing is fair. They have things going on all the time, but my father does not partake of them. The dining setup looks a little small to me. Dad said the food is good, though I have not eaten there. Overall, Dad is happy there. "

"Westerwood was beautiful. It's a 23-acre property, so it has a lot of outdoor area. It's in a gorgeous neighborhood. There were lots of trees and walkways and all that stuff. It's not for profit and that part is nice. I thought it would be more reasonably priced in view of the fact that it's a not-for-profit place, but it would be more expensive. It's a very big complex. They offer not just assisted living, but they also have independent living, memory care, long-term care, and sort of a rehab care section. I only met the marketing person who showed me around and the receptionist in the lobby. They were both very personable. I saw them deal with other people besides me. They were very professional and very friendly."

"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."
