Assisted Living Communities in Plain City, OH

"The staff takes the time to really get to know the residents. They are very engaging and have reached out to me on a few occasions whenever they’ve noticed something a bit concerning with my dad. It’s a tremendous sense of comfort knowing they truly care and look out for him like they do! "

"Brookdale Trillium Crossing was just too big for my father. He needed something smaller, but it was a lovely community. The staff was very helpful, very pleasant, friendly, and very gracious. They provided a lot of good information. The only concern was simply that it was just too big a facility. My father's visually impaired, so it is very difficult for him to learn a new facility that is large. Their menu was phenomenal. It was filet mignon every day, if you wanted. My father is more of a plain food person, liked mashed potatoes and gravy. He likes simpler meals, and it was just a little over-the-top for him. The other issue was that he couldn't cut the food. They had very good food, but the problem was it was too complicated for him. They had singalongs and different levels of activities that people could participate in, depending on their level of interest. With my father, his visual limitations prevented him from participating in some of the activities. It was just a little bit pricy and a little fancy for my dad."

"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."

"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 mom has a very comfortable room that is bright and cozy. The staff has been very helpful with the transition to the facility. They have been awesome with making her feel welcome and cared for. I would highly recommend Danbury of Columbus."

"Bickford of Upper Arlington seemed very comfortable and very open. Because of the nature of the facility, I think it was good that they had locked doors to make sure that the elderly folks who like to wander won't just wander out into the street or into the river across the street. I really appreciated that. The rooms seemed to be well kept, nice, and clean, and they were centrally located so that it was easy for the residents to be able to get back and forth. They had some elevators, so if they lived on other floors then they could get up and down pretty easily. It's very clean. I went past their dining area, and the food smelled wonderful. It also looked very cozy."

"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 Forum at Knightsbridge seems friendly. It seems to have the services I'm looking for. The rooms were nice. Some of them, I think, even have balconies. I would give it a 5 rating just because of the nice attitude that I got when I was there. They were friendly. I like the staff there. The rooms are pretty much the same as everybody else's. I'm looking for a one-bedroom. One is 624 square feet, and the other is 585 square feet. I love my condo, and I don't want to leave, but my family thinks otherwise. I guess the rooms at The Forum is going to be spacious. It's going to be a transition, of course, but I guess I'm ready for it."

"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."

"My husband is at Bickford of Worthington. They said they could take care of him because his care was kind of extensive. A lot of the places I checked out would call back and say that with the care that he needed, they could not take him. I settled on Bickford for that reason. They assured me that they could take care of him and so they have. You cannot go inside of these places because of COVID, but I spoke with the manager and they seem to be taking care of him. My husband has turned around at least 50% since he's been there. When he went there, he couldn't talk other than a whisper. Now, I go see him and he can talk like he talked before, but his memory is not back and he still cannot walk. Bickford is doing what I would have expected a facility would do. I could only see the outside and the lobby. I can't tell you about the inside because with COVID, you cannot get in. The staff is absolutely amazing and very helpful, and my husband seems to like them all. They recognized that he needed to go to the hospital, so they sent him to the hospital. The staff is doing what I would expect the staff would do. When he got there, the speech therapist said that he had problems swallowing. They discovered that when he was at the hospital, so they put him on a puree diet and he does not like that. We haven't seen the regular food yet. Once his swallowing gets better, I think they're gonna put him on a regular diet. The outside is quite impressive. The day that I went to talk with the manager about it before, he took me around the back of the building and showed me the courtyard. I got to peek through a window, which is what they do now, and the part that I could see was nice. It was a nice big place and from the outside, it was not in tatters. It was well structured and when I looked through the window, I saw people milling about. The bedroom that he could show me through a window looked like an ordinary bedroom. It wasn't elaborate, but it was a nice room. He could only show me the one room from where I was. It didn't seem like anybody was living in it, otherwise, I don't think we'd peek through the window. I'm happy with the place, and they could take my husband. I know my husband is having speech therapy and physical therapy. I don't know about the activities, but I'm sure they have them. They said they have things for the other residents to do, but we didn't delve into that. My husband doesn't partake because he's not able to. We think we're paying too much, but I guess he needs the care."

"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. "

"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."

"Wonderful medical care! Staff us knowledgeable and attentive!"

"I went to Alpine House of Columbus. It was a great experience. The staff was lovely. The place was lovely. I liked everything that I heard. It was a nice facility. I liked the stairway and they had an elevator, too, so that's a plus. They offer the laundry and help you with your medicine, and they do housecleaning. As far as I could see, everything was nice."
