My mother-in-law is at Keepsake Village of Columbus. Their staff seems really good. The nursing care is very good. They have been there for her during her change from one community center to this place. They're very compassionate towards her. It's a smaller place, so that helps too. We like the fact that they have 24-hour nursing care there, and that they allowed her to bring her dog. She is participating with their activities director when they do activities and stuff. Somehow, this director has gotten her to participate, and we really think that's great.

I think that the staff at Keepsake Village of Columbus is highly skilled and qualified. They only take patients with dementia and Alzheimer's. My father seems to be very happy there. The outside appearance resembles more of an actual house, so it has a very warm, welcoming feeling. When you walk in, you’re greeted by a stone fireplace, and my father does have a private room.

When we went to Keepsake Village of Columbus they were having a renovation, but as far as the manager that I talked to, he was very informative. They offer 24 hour care as well as transportation. They also have a beauty shop so that was very nice.

Keepsake Village is nice. It's back in a little grassy area, but it's not very far from anything. The people there weren't as functioning as my father, so we eliminated it right away because we thought he'd be really depressed. This is a good place, and the director of nursing took us around. He was very knowledgeable, and he also knows a lot about dementia. He is super.
It seemed like they have a lot of activities. They were folding towels when we were there. I looked in the activities schedule, and it seemed OK. They seemed good -- very caring, clean, lots of private rooms available, nice facility. They need full care, so they get the full 3 meals.
