Memory Care Communities in Powell, OH

"I'm probably going to stay at Paramount Senior Living at Polaris. I saw both assisted living and independent living there. I chose Paramount Senior Living because it's close to my daughter who will be my power of attorney, and as my condition changes, I will be able to stay there. It's nice. The room is very nicea, the facility is brand new and everything is very nice. The people I met were very nice. They have a beautiful dining room and it's restaurant style. I haven't seen any staff except the lady who showed me around. Nobody is in the home right now because it's brand new. The first patients would be me and whoever comes in in December."

"Dublin Retirement Village has been the best decision for my mom. She is well taken care of by the sweetest people. She’s happy, has interactions with other people on a daily basis, eats regularly and now we have peace of mind knowing her medications are being taken properly!! "

"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."

"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 Grove at Oakleaf Village seemed quite clean. We had lived in the neighborhood prior to having it recommended to us. Once we went over and visited/had our interview, it seemed like they would be the right choice for us. They take care of our laundry. I was told there are three meals a day, plus evening snack. To my knowledge, there's 24/7 coffee. I hear there are activities for the memory care person. The staff was very nice and very welcoming. They would take state assistance, which is Medicaid."

"My mother-in-law will move to Bickford of Upper Arlington. I thought that the amount of time they gave me to visit the facility to get to know it was exceptional. They spent over an hour and a half with me. I got to meet several of the different staff members. They were all super gracious, and I liked the warm atmosphere of the facility."

"My wife moved into Brookdale Westerville. So far, it seems like they've spent a lot more time with her, and she seems to be happy there. It seems like it's more organized, it's not like some of the others, and I think the patients have more attention to them and the staff overall, and spends more time with them. The staff is very good. The dining room tables were set up with cups and plates and silverware and everything. Some of the other places, they didn't even provide napkins. From what they tell me, she has been eating well."

"My stepfather is in Westerwood and his experience has been good. He's there for rehab and he's comfortable there. He's in the same wing with the same caretakers so it was an easy transition. The staff is friendly, they're cooperative, we've been pleased with our interactions with them. I have not been in the dining room, he often has had his meals in his room, but the food looks really good. His room is clean and adequate, and he has a roommate, and it's nice. The outdoor spaces look very inviting. They have tables, benches, and umbrellas for the sun, they are landscaped, and they're very pleasant."

"We did move my dad at Carriage Court of Hilliard for one day, and now he's in the hospital. The staff, from the day we took the tour until the day he failed, I loved them all. They were all very professional, loving, and caring. They've all been wonderful. Everything was clean. The food seemed to be good. The activities were wonderful. On Thursday night that we were there, they had trick or treat for the families and it was a lot of fun what they did. There were a lot of families that brought their kids and the residents there handed out candies. They do happy hour between 2 and 4 every night. One night when we were there, they had a baseball thing. So they had crackerjacks, pretzels with mustard, and nachos. They had a library and I know they do transportation up to 10 miles if they have doctor's appointments."

"My experience with Danbury in Westerville has been exceptional. As a facility entrusted with the care of my aging parents, Danbury has consistently exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The facility is impeccably clean and well-kept. From the moment you step inside, you can immediately sense the dedication to maintaining a comfortable and hygienic environment for residents. I believe this type of attention to detail speaks volumes about their overall commitment to quality. What truly distinguishes Danbury, however, is its staff. In all my interactions, from administrative personnel to caregivers, I have encountered individuals who are not only highly professional but also genuinely caring. Their compassion and dedication to their work are evident in the way they treat residents and family members alike. My parents are in memory care, and I am grateful for the opportunities they have to engage in the 5 to 6 activities offered daily. These activities are designed especially for memory care residents and include things like sing-alongs, pet therapy, storytelling, and chair exercise. They have even taken 'field trips' which allow residents to get out and experience the beautiful parks nearby. Another standout feature of Danbury is their food services. The meals provided are nutritious and, according to my mother, delicious, thus ensuring residents are well-nourished and satisfied. Most importantly, the nursing and caregiving staff at Danbury approach their work with a profound sense of respect and dignity, which has been incredibly reassuring for my family. Knowing that my parents are safe and in such capable and compassionate hands brings us great peace of mind."

"The staff is very caring and compassionate, and the facility is very clean. They are even providing farm to table food. I am so blessed that my parents are living here."

"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."

"Kensington Place Retirement Community is lovely. It doesn't feel institutional. The residents are all out and about and engaged. It is run by Lutheran Social Services and is a nonprofit, so it's a little bit different animal. They are on the same plane with the other facility in a different financial stratum. The people were five. The place was a five. It was very clean and well-kept. They have a nice long sidewalk outside for walking and a nice courtyard to sit outside in the back. They have great workout facilities for people to utilize. A personal trainer will assess them when they come into the building and set them up with a fitness plan. They're on staff, so they're there most days for at least part of the day if they have questions or need a little support. And if they want to set up further personal training sessions, then that would cost them, that would be a per session fee, but they have an initial like 10 hours with them just to get them established and going well on their own."
