Danbury Columbus

VERY VERY HAPPY FAMILY

Cara and her team have been exceptionally attentive and caring. My mom is healthy and happy. My family is treated, like family. Both Mom and the rest of us that come to visit. The front desk staff is always willing to take calls and answer question. The nursing staff is top shelf. And last, the food is well thought out and yummy. Further mom’s room is comfy, kept clean and everything works - all the time. Thank you all!

Apartments are a great size and the layout works well. Staff is wonderful, very helpful and caring Limited activities because of individual health issues, wish there were more to participate in but understand the limitations. Nursing care is good but availability of a physician is poor. If I could recommend one thing it would be the ability to communicate through resident’s call button. These were used at the last place of residence. The staff had no idea when the button is pressed if it’s a medical emergency or something as simple as a problem with their TV. All in all happy to have parent here.

My family member has been a resident for several years, and is currently in Assisted Living. Most important, is that my mom is safe and happy here, and I know the staff values her as a member of the community. Administration has always been open to communication and resolves questions quickly. Food is good, and surroundings are pleasant and in good repair. Various apartment layouts are available. Both indoor and outdoor lounge areas are used for recreation therapy and special events. Transportation is offered for outside appointments, lunches, and shopping.

The staff at Danbury of Columbus is absolutely wonderful--all of them from the exec director to the people at the front desk, the chefs, the nurses , the activity people, the maintenance man, the PTs, and the people who take care of the residents. We are so happy that we found this place for our Mom to live. She enjoys the outings, bingo, the crafts, chair volleyball, movies and the special events like BBQs. She has met a number of residents that she enjoys spending time with. I can't emphasize enough how kind the people who work there are to the residents. The food is great too!

I would have chosen Danbury Columbus for my friend because of the reception that we got when we went there. The staff that took us through that place was very knowledgeable. She spent a lot of time with us and she explained all the services that we really didn't know about that were available. She was just very detailed about answering all the questions that we had. They had occupational therapists on site. It was an older facility, so it's got some wear and tear but the people are the most important thing for us. There were several floors, so the elevators were large. The place was easy to navigate, and they had nice wide halls. The layout was very friendly and very open. I liked the fact that the dining rooms were right there in front, as soon as you walked in. So, you got a sense of community right away because there were people there. And another thing that I liked was that they don't have assigned seating in the dining room.

I visited the Danbury Columbus. When I got out of the car and was walking up to it, it was a few days before Saint Patrick's Day, but they still have all their Christmas decorations out there. For me, if they don't care enough about first impressions, in my mind, I'm not sure if they would care that much about me. When I walked inside, they had Saint Patrick's Day decorations. I saw four workers standing around the front desk, talking. They called the person who will give us the tour, and she wasn't as professional as the person in the other place I toured. She never once talked to the people that were in the hallways, they just kept their heads down. They had two different layouts for a 1-bedroom. She said we'll have to excuse them because it hadn't been cleaned yet, and there was food all over the stovetop. Inside people's open doors, there were bags, I don't know if it was trash or laundry, but there wasn't one thing inviting about the place. The staff that I talked to really didn't share enough information, while the other place gave us a sample of what the food would be and what our options were. But here, it was just about "What are you looking for? What type, I can show you." and gave us a handout. So I was disappointed with everything. The dining area was just a big room with tables and chairs. I would suggest that they improve their appearance, that should be pretty important.

Our visit at Danbury at Columbus was very nice and we were impressed. The apartments were very nice, and the 2-bedroom unit was just what we need. They have an exercise room, outings to restaurants, and different activities around town. They have a doctor on staff as well as nurses, and they also help with dialysis.

Moms new home

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.

I was impressed with Danbury in Columbus. It was a very neat facility. They seemed to have activities. I talked to a couple of different residents there and they seemed very happy. They had an exercise room. They showed me two or three different kinds of rooms. I also saw the restrooms. One had a separate bedroom, and there was one that was part of a general living area.

Thankful One

My grandmother was a resident at Danbury Senior Living for over a year before she passed away. During her stay, I have to say the staff were wonderful. From upper management to the line staff, you could tell they really wanted what's best for their residents. I have to also say the food was spectacular! I know they talk about a "fine dining experience" but I wasn't expecting it to truly be such. The food is definitely high quality and I would say better than most restaurants I've been to. The chef personally would come out to check to see how the meals were. She is definitely a rockstar and a great asset! The servers are also very tentative to the needs of the residents. Moving your loved ones into a facility is often a hard decision but I knew my grandmother was receiving great care and great food. I would highly recommend Danbury Senior Living to anyone looking for a place for their loved ones. Thank you for everything!

My mother has been a resident of Danbury for almost a year. The facilities are excellent, the food is very good and the care she has received has been a fabulous. Her apartment is a very good size and is cleaned weekly. The staff takes care of my mother with respect, dignity and love. There are many types of dementia and the staff knows the tips and tricks on how to redirect their patients behavior and provide appropriate activities. Music therapy is provided several days a week and the patients dance, sing and play tambourines. My mother was in our home for several years and although difficult to place her in a facility, this is the best there is. We are so pleased and happy with the care, attention and love that she receives from the aides up to management. She is happy and cared for. Many thanks to those at Danbury for helping us to enjoy the years left.

My mother-in-law is doing very well in Danbury. She likes it. It is just two minutes from our house and brand new, so everything is new. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are a nice size, and the atmosphere is very homey. The food is very good. They have a little bit of anything for activities, including bingo, a movie theatre, games, and visiting musical talents.
