Memory Care Communities in Westerville, OH

"We went to Bickford of Worthington. The building seemed very open and very comfortable. The staff members were friendly and knowledgeable. They seemed to be very supportive of the residents there. They were open with information. If I had any questions or if I thought of anything, they were ready to answer whatever my concerns were in preparation for my grandmother. They had various sizes of rooms. The ones I got to see were the smaller ones. Depending on what size of room you might need, they had a schedule based on how much you could pay. I think it was either per day or per week or something like that. The place looked clean and well-kept from what I could tell. I didn't get a chance to try their food. It smelled good though. From what I could see, it looked like the people were comfortable."

"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."

"Sage Park Memory Care & Transitional Assisted Living was a five because of the level of care that they give, a very clean environment, and it felt very safe. The tour and the amenities that they have were really nice. It looks like they were very caring and very helpful information-wise. Everybody spoke when I was there. The common areas were really nice and clean. The rooms were very nice, clean, and big. I did like the fact that they had private rooms. The shared rooms weren't bad, but pricing is a little high for me."

"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 visited and it looked liked this place is beautifully geared to Alzheimer's patients and my mom does not have Alzheimer's. The place was upbeat and bright. When I walked in and they had guitar playing and some people were dancing. It looked socializing and fun."

"My mother-in-law has moved into The Avalon of New Albany. She's only been there for three days, but so far, so good. I like it because there are a lot of people who are at the same level as she is. In her previous location, most of the residents were nonverbal, so she didn't have anybody to talk to but the staff. I've only had interaction with the staff on move-in date, so it was fine. The move-in coordinator and the nurse came in to speak with us. Communication was good. She has a nice-sized room. It came with a built-in, attached to the wall, closet like an armoire for her clothing, but we had to provide everything else. It's a studio apartment with her own private bath. She's been doing lots of activities like arts and crafts. They appear to have a lot going on, but they also have three levels. They have the senior living on the first floor, assisted living on the second floor, and then memory care on the third. Every time we're there, we see the bus hauling people in and out, like going out on little excursions or whatever. They seem to be a very active community. She eats grilled cheese every meal, so she seems to love it. As long as they have that available for her every meal, which they do, and that she's happy, then that's all that matters. The first two floors are very nice. The memory care is not very exciting. It seems dated on the third floor, and they could use some additional ventilation and deodorizing because when you have memory care, you have a lot of incontinent type of tenants. The smell is not pleasant, but her room is great. It's just that they need to take care of that. I am saving $3,500 a month by moving her there. She is having conversations with people. We're very happy we've moved her there."

"They saved mom's life! She fell, pulled light. Got help in seconds!!! Check on residents every morning. "

"My mother was a Danbury resident for a year until she passed. My family is confident that we made the best choice with Danbury as the entire staff there is top notch. My mom had wonderful care there. I interacted with the staff on a daily basis and always felt their care was genuine. Everyone went above and beyond in looking after my mother. The food was always outstanding and the entire facility well-maintained. I told their loving and compassionate Exec. Director, Cara, that when my time comes, the Danbury is where I want to be. Thank you so much."

"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."

"My Mom really enjoys living at Story Point. She loves her one bedroom apartment with a balcony and small kitchen. She has made many friends and can be as active as she feels fit for each day…… From exercise classes to personal game times as well as the activities scheduled for all of the residents……her days are filled with joy!"

"Ganzhorn Suites is so brand new, they didn’t even have residents yet in the new area. They’re pretty much all memory care and try to make it feel like their home. They are the first place I've seen that has an induction stove in the common area. I did like that they have an area outside where people can go, but they can’t escape; they had on bracelets. "

"I toured the assisted living facility of Sunrise of Dublin. I was very pleased with the facility, the people I talked to, the staff, and everything. I would recommend this facility to anybody. I thought that was an outstanding facility."

"I visited The Woodlands of Columbus. The tour was good. I did not get to tour with the person I needed to speak with. She was on vacation, but the facility is fine. I liked it a lot, and the price was reasonable. I saw a studio, and it was cute. I liked it. It was a good size. The upkeep was fine during the middle of remodeling. The staff member who gave the tour was as nice and informative as she could be, considering that she wasn't the person who was supposed to give me the tour. But she was very professional and friendly. The dining area was very roomy. It's a nice facility."

"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."
