Independent Living Communities in Westerville, OH

"StoryPoint Gahanna had assisted living and memory care, so we looked at both sides. The staff was friendly. They offered a lot of arts and crafts. There are a lot things for the older clientele. I liked the fact that the rooms were clean. I liked that they had the washer and dryer and the refrigerator inside of it, and just the fact that they could eat out on the patio, and then they have live music and live bands at dinnertime. It was really, really nice. I really would like to put my mom there. I'm just working on money issues."

"I moved into Rittenhouse Village Gahanna. It's been a nice experience. It's been good. Everything's been nice. Everybody is very helpful. The food is also good. I get three meals a day, and unless I have something scheduled, I go down for a meal. The facilities are good, and the trash pickup is good. I have no complaints. It's very nice, bright, with nice windows. They're open, and it's cheery. I have a balcony, which is nice. The selling point was the balcony because I moved from the country to here and needed to get somewhere I could have a little personal space. They have a lot of activities going on now. I haven't partaken of any of them yet because I'm busy getting things straightened up. So, I haven't gone to any of their functions, but there are a lot of them. There's something to do if you want to do it. It's there. The staff is fantastic, very helpful, and friendly. I like that because I feel like they're working, and we also need to be pleasant and thank them for what they're doing. One of the reasons I picked it was that it was within my budget."

"Danbury Columbus is an exceptional facility with an even more exceptional staff! Each and every member of the staff is kind, personable, and patient. The level of care and consistency provided by the Danbury team has been monumental in the health of our father throughout his dementia journey. The qualitative care, healthy meals, and routine socialization found at Danbury has made all the difference for our father’s mental and physical health. As caretakers, Danbury has given us immense peace of mind - we are blessed with the knowledge that our loved one is cared for by the tremendous nursing and administrative team at Danbury. Thank you, Danbury Columbus!"

"I have moved into Brookdale Trillium Crossing. They are very friendly, their food is excellent, and they have a lot of amenities. They have just about everything, an indoor pool, happy hour every Friday afternoon, movies in the evenings, all kinds of entertainment and things to do. I haven't participated, but I'm just getting used to it. The food is excellent. It's a very friendly place, and I think I'll be happy here. It just has almost everything you could ask for. The facility is lovely. They offer everything I would be interested in. They have a pool, library, sewing, painting, they have everything you could ask for. I'm looking forward to swimming and doing some day activities. In terms of value for money, you couldn't ask for better. So far, I'm very pleased with being in this situation. I am not happy about being in a retirement home and leaving my home, but this is about the best you could ask for."

"I toured Kensington Place Retirement Community. I like the apartments. The assisted living and the memory care apartments were the same size as the independent living. They had a nice layout for community areas and a nice outside area where people could sit. It's very nice. The staff members were all friendly and they related well to the residents. The facility was very well made."

"StoryPoint Powell South is a lovely senior community with a wonderful staff. My Dad has lived here for 5 years. He loves his apartment and the fact that he can remain mostly independent at 94 years old. I like the fact that he is not alone (unless he wants to be!) and can get assistance if needed. He has made many wonderful friends here. If anything, his only caveat is the food, sometimes he really enjoys it. Other days not so much, but I imagine it’s very difficult to make a menu that pleases everyone all of the time. Overall, we are very pleased with StoryPoint Powell South!"

"It was a very new facility. So, it was in good shape and it was beautiful inside. They had a huge library space when you walk in. The lobby was nice, too. The person who took me on the tour was very thorough and very friendly. I felt like they answered all my questions. It was a place where I felt like I could put my parents and feel good about it."

"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."

"From the personnel standpoint, the staff from Harrison on 5th by Senior Star did a very nice job working with us and showing us the units and the entire community. And we like the size of the two-bedroom apartment that we're getting. The amenities available are assisted living capabilities, medication management, nursing care, meals, and all kinds of activities."

"It was a nice facility. The staff was informative and pretty helpful. Everything's really nice and clean. It felt like home. The rooms were what I really liked the best. They were nice. It had a bedroom and a separate little kitchen. It was like a little apartment. It's just my mom wouldn't qualify to get in there because of her income."

"If money were not an issue, I would say Stone Oak Retirement Resort was great. It's beautiful. It has everything, but it's too fancy and too expensive for my cousin. It has a movie theater. It has all kinds of chef- cooked foods, a waterfall in the lobby, and all kinds of fancy stuff. It is also well-kept. It was gorgeous, but we don't want everything. We want a nice place but not too expensive."

"I went to Wexner Heritage Village - Creekside at the Village. It was a very nice visit, and the lady that showed us around was very courteous, friendly, and very professional. She gave us all the details and all the information. She didn't leave anything out of the questions that we would ask. She answered pretty much all our questions before we needed to ask any, and we walked away with everything we needed to go on as far as making a decision and moving forward if that would have been our location. They showed us a couple of different rooms, like a studio room versus a two-bedroom room. And they had quite a few stories, I think it's three or four stories high. It was an older facility, but it was well-kept and well-maintained. It had a lot of positive amenities as well."

"I toured Verena at Hilliard. We had lunch with several people and the staff there. So that was very nice. The facility was beautiful, and the gentleman I talked to, who takes care of any needs or repairs you need, was nice and helpful. Also, the chef went above and beyond. He wanted to make sure everybody was taken care of and everyone enjoyed what they were having to eat. They wanted to accommodate any special diet you were on, which was nice. The food was very good, and the dining room was well taken care of. Everybody enjoyed their time and their lunch there. The staff was friendly. The facilities were nice. Everything was brand new, and the lighting and the decorating were nice. So almost anyone would enjoy being in an atmosphere like that."
