Independent Living Communities in Granville, OH

"The Village of Westerville was a nice place. I would live there. They have everything you need. They have transportation, and they take you to grocery stores if you don't have a car. They have little stores inside. They have a little mini-mall area actually. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and very nice, but I just kind of felt rushed. It was all centered around. The apartment seemed kind of small, but it had a huge, nice bathroom. The kitchen was nice. They have no food service at all."

"StoryPoint Pickerington was very nice. It was all in one building They had everything there. They had a dining room, snacks, a movie theater, bingo, games, and cards. They had a workout room. They had a lot of rooms that had balconies. The staff was very nice and very accommodating. I had lunch there, and it was very good and a nice variety."

"I went to Westerwood. I think they did a really good job. They gave me a good tour. I went there and had lunch with them and talked with them. I had a lot of time to talk with them about stuff. Overall, I think it's a very good place. The thing I liked the least was the money, that it takes a lot of money to go there, and it's very difficult for me. I'm going to have to go to a really small apartment. As far as good things, it had very good things. I just was very pleased with what was there and the activities that they have for people. I thought it was very clean. The food was OK; it was good. The staff was wonderful, all of them. They have a lot of classes. They have an art room, which I'm really interested in."

"My mother-in-law has moved into The Ashford on Broad. We chose it because she was comfortable with that area and she wanted to be near where some of her friends could come and visit her and not have to go a long way. Her apartment features are beautiful. She has a balcony where she can go out and look out over the courtyard. She seems to enjoy the food. If they make something that she doesn't want to eat, she can order ahead before that lunch period, and then she can order something else if she looks at the menu. They have programs that are designed for inside, and then they go on bus trips to different places, on the van. They take them to shopping centers. They take them to little outings like ice cream places and stuff. The facility is very nice and very clean. For an independent, you get your room cleaned once a week. They take the trash out of your apartment every day. They take care of the independent and assisted living rooms well. They have a sunroom, they have a room where they do puzzles, they have a room for arts and crafts, they also have a room where they exercise, and they have a room where they can just relax and watch TV and have entertainment. I believe the price is within range of most of the centers. Some of them I took her to were kind of skyrocket. She didn't want to pay that much. She got in on a discount for independent living this time."

"We're happy with Oakleaf Village of Columbus. It's a good environment for Mom. She likes that the room size is fairly large for a studio. She has a full kitchen, which is something we were looking for. She has a full refrigerator, stove, and microwave. They serve three meals, but you have to buy the third if you want it. They have laundry, medication services, bathing, and clothing assistance, and they have a nurse there that will come in and check your blood pressure and weigh you daily. They provide trash collection and they have transportation to doctors' offices. I've eaten there and it's good. They have a lot of activities."

"United Church Homes - The Polaris Community is independent living and it provides a third-party care program. What I liked about it most is that it was an age-in program. A person could spend the rest of their lives there, even as they transition from independent to assisted. It was equipped for all of those. The person could age in there all the way up to even needing hospice, and they would not have to leave the premises to find another location to stay. Everything was included in the cost. All of the utilities, meals, activities, and access to many different floors were included. They had an area where they could go and interact. It was not affordable housing, but it was not high-end. It was moderate, but it was beautiful. It had just about every amenity. It looks almost like a hotel style, very spacious, and inviting. They said that doctors come to the facility. They also had transportation if they needed to go to the store or if they needed to go to a doctor's appointment. Those things were provided without extra cost. I only met two workers, the lady that took us on the tour and someone was doing some cleaning. Everybody was pleasant. The young lady who did the tour was very thorough. She had a lot of confidence about what they had to offer for the residents. They did show us the different rooms where the residents could eat. They have 24-hour access if they want to get something to snack on and get something to drink. They did talk about activities that are posted. If they like planting with flowers, they have rooms especially designed for them to do that. They took us out to the back where they had an outdoor garden where the residents could work. They were in the area where they could walk to the stores and shops. It was very pleasant."

"My wife now calls Grace House at Kensington Place her home. The staff there really cares, listens and knows how to respect and support those in their care. The spaces are clean, food is well prepared and served with love. Yep that’s right- love. Our children and I can now provide the love a mother and wife needs. With Kensington Places help doing a lot of the care we can now focus on the loving and filling her days with that. Thank you Jensington"

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

"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."

"We toured the assisted living section, and it was excellent. The community is very welcoming. The person who gave the tour was very thorough and very good at what she does. She gave a very warm feeling about the place. The room was very good, and the bathroom was very large. The activities were excellent. They have a wide variety, and they were very appealing."

"The assisted living community of The Estates at Knightsbridge was welcoming and had a lot of open space. The tour was good, and we felt at home there. The bathroom felt small, but the maintenance seemed good. The person who gave the tour did an excellent job. They also have a wide variety of activities and amenities."

"I have been to several Assisted Living communities over the last month or so, looking for placement for my Mother. I visited Danbury last week and I have to say, I was very impressed. First off, I love how they decorated the entrance with the fall decor. The staff there were very genuine and helpful. My tour went very well and I felt very informed about the services offered. The head chef even introduced herself and invited me to stay for lunch. I chose not to but the food looked amazing and very appetizing. The residents in the dining room seemed to really enjoy it! The atmosphere throughout the community was very warm and caring. After visiting other communities, we have decided to make Danbury our Moms new home. Thank you Danbury for making this an easy decision for me. "

"Harrison on 5th by Senior Star is the place I like the best out of the four I've seen so far. Its appearance is very appealing. Everyone that I met were staff members and also residents. The staff members seemed very capable, very friendly, and very professional. The residents appeared, to me, to be very happy. The facility was very clean, very fresh looking, attractive, nicely painted, and appeared to be nicely maintained. The person who gave me the tour was Seneca. The reason I like this facility the best of the four I have seen so far is because she was so transparent about everything, about the costs and the charges for the level of care. With the others, there will be more work for me to figure out what it would cost for my cousin to go there or I won't be able to find out what they consider her level of care to be until after the assessment. At Harrison on 5th by Senior Star, based on my description of her needs, they came up with what they thought was the likely level of care cost, and they said this can change after they do an assessment in some way (in person or electronically), and then they could tell me for sure. They were the only one of the four that gave me an idea in advance right on the spot."
