Assisted Living Communities in Pickerington, OH

"I liked almost everything about The Kensington; that's where I wanted my mom to go. They had a deck where they can go out and sit, patio tables with umbrellas to get some fresh air, and a little walking path outside for exercise. "

"I went over for an open house and was pretty much sold. They had ample-sized bedrooms separate from the living room. The staff seemed wonderful, and the food was top quality. They served us prime ribs, shrimps, and wine. They had a bar, beauty shop, and were getting ready to open a massage room."

"I visited Sage Park Memory Care & Transitional Assisted Living. I was only there an hour or so, but I'd have to say that it was very clean. It didn't have any kind of odor. They seemed to have a lot of activities on their activity list. It was a very nice facility. They have one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and studios. They have a theater, a beauty salon, and a little area where they have some parties. They have a couple places for people that are in wheelchairs to get baths. It had big showers where you wheel them into. I didn't really talk to any staff, except the woman that was showing me around."

"I've been to Carroll Place when I had a friend out there, but I didn't actually take a tour. It was very nice, clean, and neat. The rooms were very nice. It had a small kitchen, quite a large room with a bed, and a place for a desk and a chair, and the bathroom was very nice and handicap accessible. I heard the food is excellent. The staff seemed very nice and attentive."

"I visited The Avalon of New Albany's memory care. The staff that we interacted with stopped and introduced me to some other staff members. They seemed very happy at their job and very engaged in the activities that they were providing for the residents. I felt like they weren't being prompted, but they were giving me their honest emotions and feelings on the job. There is an outdoor space, but because the memory care unit is not on the first floor, the memory care residents don't have access to it without someone going with them. I was disappointed in that. Of the overall tour, that would be the only thing that was any kind of a disappointment to me. Other than that, it was clean, and there seemed to be a variety of activities."

"I toured the Reflections Retirement Community. The staff was friendly. They were very caring and very helpful. They do have a library, and I believe they do exercise or some physical activities there. It fits our needs best because some of them are way too out of her budget."

"My dad moved to Harrison on 5th by Senior Star. The staff was very hands-on and caring. It's a great place. The food is very delicious. This community has only been here for a year, it's a very nice community. They have an activities director. She's very hands-on. She always has a little project and things for them to do. They have a movie theater but as far as memory care, they do arts and crafts. They have different stations set up depending on where the residents may be at that time. They could be resorting back to childhood, and so there's a little area for things like baby dolls. They have garden sections. They have a grocery store section. They have a pool section. They do a lot to keep them active. They have a very nice outdoor space."

"Emeritus at Pinnacle was very nice but it was all self-pay so I couldn't do it. We were just given the impression that it would accept Medicaid. Also they didn't have a nursing home facility. We decided it wasn't worth the visit because it would simply get my hopes up because I couldn't afford it anyway, so why bother. I think it was strictly independent and assisted living. Anyway, the facility was beautiful and gorgeous. I had lunch there and it was excellent. Regarding staff, the woman I dealt with was very kind and very nice. Nevertheless, I absolutely would recommend this place to others. "

"My father has been in for a week now. I think the place looks fine. I haven't seen too much of it because of the Coronavirus other than going to the front door, but everything I've seen on the outside was clean and the entranceway looked good. The people I've talked to seemed good, too. I'm happy with it. He's in a private room right at the moment for quarantine."

"Bickford of Lancaster was very nice. They had a lot of different activities for the people that live there. They take their residents out to eat, plant flowers, and take them on field trips. They showed me a couple of rooms. I liked the bathrooms, the walk-in shower, and had grab bars already in place. I looked at a studio and a one-bedroom, and they were both nice. I liked that you could have a little refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffeemaker in the rooms."

"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."

"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 will be moving into Oakleaf Village of Columbus. They were offering a one-bedroom for the price of a studio. It had a small kitchen. The facility seemed clean. Some of the stuff has aged, but I know they're updating rooms as they go. So the room we were looking at was updated. They had an activity page, and it seemed good. They had a small, curvy pathway. There were some shades of trees, and I like that. There was a little garden with flowers. We liked the tour director."

"We placed my mother-in-law in Brookdale Westerville. It is nice and clean. Everyone is friendly. The rooms are big and clean. My mother-in-law was very resistant at first, but she adapted pretty quickly. They are in a pretty area. Everything seems to be going very well. She has been there for 2 weeks now. The staff seems very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very outgoing. They keep them pretty busy. I haven't been there all day, but every time I have gone there, there is something that my mother-in-law is doing. Also, it seems like she is eating regularly now, which she wasn't doing before. As far as all the places that I toured, Brookdale Westerville wasn't nearly as luxurious as the other ones, but my mother-in-law likes it, and it is close to my sister-in-law, so it works out better.
