Assisted Living Communities in Newark, OH

"I was very impressed with The Ashford on Broad. I was welcomed well, and the person who showed me through was very kind and answered all my questions. The place looked lovely. I've been to some other ones, and this was more reasonably priced. I saw people in the gathering areas, and they had a very nice events calendar. The rooms were very nice, too."

"I love The Village of Westerville. I think it's a perfect place. I saw a lot of the residents sitting, playing games, and doing things like that. The rooms were perfect. The dining room was beautiful. There's lots of room around, and you can go outside. My brother likes planting flowers and different things like that, so that would be ideal because they have a gazebo that they've already set up for people who could plant flowers. The people that took us around were wonderful. There's a little kitchenette in the room. It has a smaller refrigerator, a microwave, and a sink. I was impressed with the rooms. The way they were laid out was nice."

"Reflections Retirement Community was very nice. The staff was wonderful the short time mom was there, but she was notified of having been exposed to Covid there and they quarantined her. This was part of all the issues with them, and it's not their fault because they were very proud and told us that they hadn't had Covid in the facility all of last year, which speaks highly of them. We were told yesterday as we were getting her things moved out and stuff that another lady had already passed from it inside the facility and they had already put everybody on lockdown, and there were no visitors. The only reason we were allowed there was we're moving mother out. John was one of the few nurses we had time to get to know, and he's just wonderful and he did what he could. Mom was only in this facility for less than a month. The residents were involved in different activities. They were all involved in either watching TV or doing crafts, whatever was going on. We were there various hours of the day, the short time that mom was there. It's very clean and very nice. Mom ended up trying to take part in the church service on Sunday and I was really happy with that, but that's when she was pulled out and told that she had to be quarantined because of exposure, then they tested her, she was positive."

"Brookdale Lakeview Crossing was very nice. The staff who gave me the tour was very pleasant. It was an excellent facility, clean, and no smell. They had a beauty salon. Once a week, they would provide transportation to doctors' offices. They had a nice recreational room, and the dining area looked clean and well-kept."

"The care provided was excellent. I live out of state and the staff kept me well informed of my mother's condition. "

"Creekside at the Village is quite luxurious, comfortable, and "home like". But, what is special and not easy to come by is the quality of the staff - their kindness and professionalism. It is very convenient that Creekside at the Village is located next door to the Jewish Community Center, which offers endless activities. I am very much at home living here and proud that our community has such a residence."

"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. "

"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."

"SharonBrooke is very nice. It seems warm and friendly. They have nice-sized suites. Each one has space for a refrigerator, a microwave, and plenty of storage. "

"I've got friends at the Chestnut House. It's a pretty place and the staff seemed very attentive. It's a small place, so it seemed that everybody knows everybody, and people were happy being there. "

"I'm very pleased with The Inn at Chapel Grove. They have activities all the time. My mother is mobile so they have a van and they took them to Wal-Mart today. They go out to eat once a week. They always have something going on. They have entertainment. It has been good for her and it keeps her busy. Her room is very nice and they keep it clean. It's very nice inside. They always decorate for all the holidays. The staff is good. If I need any help, or if I have a question, or if my mom needs help, they call me right back. There's always someone there 24-hours a day. They have a nurse there."

"He’s all moved in here. That’s the only one I visited because I knew I wanted continuing care, and it’s just a 100 mile radius from me. It is fantastic. It is a continuing care retirement center. You have to enter while living independently, and then you never have to leave. The staff is incredible. There’s nothing that I’ve ever seen like anywhere. It’s very extensive, just a wonderful community. The food is fantastic. They have a restaurant. They have lots of activities. They have an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, an art studio, and they bring in speaker and concerts, church activities, and various groups. "

"My grandfather was extremely unhappy at Northview, eventually he was moved to a new senior living center. They seemed to be understaffed, the building seemed nice enough from the outside but maintenance could have been better kept up, but I believe the biggest problem was the understaffing. Waiting for assistance was not a pleasant experience, and as much as both the resident and government pays to the facility I found the meals, rooms, and activities to be quite subpar from what my grandfather or his family expected. Employees of the facility smoke at the front of the property by the roadfront, something else I found extremely distasteful for a healthcare operation. Overall the staff were friendly and helpful, though as previously stated overworked and understaffed. Would I recommend this facility to others? Probably not, we found grandfather a much better facility that was not much further away, better care and a better overall living environment than Northview. "
