The staff of The Woodlands of Columbus was a very friendly place. It was very clean and offered good services. The apartments were very nicely planned. When a new person moves in, they made sure that it's all spotless and updated. They have an activity director that keeps the residents active. There is a beauty salon and on site therapy. I saw them playing cards and some were in the common room watching television and interacting with each other, while another group was out walking. The person who assisted us has been very helpful, as we are planning to move my aunt in.

Wish I could give them no stars. It is all about the money. They do not care about the residence. I brought up several issue while my mom was there and they want to still charge after she has passed for giving medication, bathing and dressing when she wasn't even their that month.
Food is very cheap

I liked the Woodlands of Columbus. It was pretty nice. The lady who did the tour was good, and she followed up to see if we have found a place. The rooms were good.

The Woodlands of Columbus was very nice, we really liked it, and it was really nice that they went out and made an assessment, and we did not qualify. Ashley has been awesome in helping us, walking us through, and helping us to understand retirement community, versus assisted living and skilled nursing. They were really good. I would recommend it to people. I think they had different things, they had yoga, exercise, and they do different activities. They had an activity room, and the time we were there, there were people mingling around.

My husband is in The Woodlands of Columbus. They have been kind and accommodating. My husband is pushing the limits of the assisted living definition, but they have tried very hard to meet his needs, and keep him safe, so I have been really pleased with what they attempted to do for us. Their attitude has been very helpful. The nurses seem excellent. As for the helpers, it's mixed. Some are excellent, and some are just doing their jobs. They tend to be long-term employees, and there's not a lot of turnover, so that's a good sign. The food is pretty good. They seemed to have a well-rounded program. The place is an older facility, but it's kept up well. They paint and put a new carpet in every time a resident comes in. The activities seem to be varied and meet their needs. It's by far the best combination of services and value, so I hope very much to keep my husband here.

The Woodlands of Columbus was fine, but it didn't seem adequate for us. The rooms were too small, and the meeting area didn’t seemed inviting. The lady who showed us around wasn't told that there was supposed to be a tour, but she was accommodating, talked us through, and showed us around. We passed by the dining area, but I wasn't really impressed with it.

We went to The Woodlands of Columbus, and the place was clean and bright. For their activities, they have social clubs and bingo. The people there seemed nice.

The Woodlands was extremely nice. The young lady who gave me the tour was extremely helpful and, in fact, gave me some additional information for the VA and a possible attorney that I might check into regarding long-term care situation. Very nice facility, and it was price more reasonably. It was also a private facility and would not be one that would handle Medicaid.

The rooms at Woodlands of Columbus were bigger, so that’s a plus. Everything was good there as well. I took a tour and talked to one of the staff members who was very knowledgeable and very nice. This one was a little more expensive, but they actually have bigger rooms. They had a bunch of stuff like Karaoke night and Bingo, and they do trips. They had their calendars full of different things they did whether it was within the community or they’d take them out somewhere, but there are a variety of things to do. Their dining room was almost like a restaurant, and it was nice.

The Woodlands of Columbus was fine, calm, and peaceful. I didn’t see a room because they didn’t have anything available. The young lady that took me around was very nice. They had a library and common areas outside including a little park and gathering place. For lunch, you can order different sandwiches. The dining room was clean and had assigned seating. Their menu was a little bit varied but not very much.

The Woodlands was very nice, and we really liked it. The lady that toured us was very knowledgeable. I felt that my grandmother would be well taken care of in there, and she had a lot of good information. The rooms and apartments were adequate and clean. I think that my grandmother would feel at home.

I think it was on a Sunday morning when we were at Woodlands. I'm sure they had activities but I don't recall seeing any. The individual that gave us the tour was the only staff person. The rooms were very nice, they were spacious enough. We walked through the dining room, there were just a couple of tables occupied at that time.

Continuing Care Retirement Community Reviews for The Woodlands of Columbus

The Woodlands of Columbus was my favorite place. I liked that it had a higher ratio of men since a lot of these places have mostly women in them. I also liked that they had a huge gathering area for all the residents. While I was there, somebody was playing music in that area, which was very nice. They had a menu but also a la carte items, so they seemed very open to pleasing the residents there and making sure that they were happy with their meals. I liked that there was that flexibility. I also liked the fact that it was a larger community because that would be an opportunity for my father-in-law to meet more people.

The Woodlands was a really nice, very clean facility with friendly staff. It was large, but with my mom’s condition, I think a smaller facility was probably a better fit for her. I did like it better, but the location was tough for us, and the price was a little higher than what we can afford.The dining area was big, open, and very nice.

The Woodlands of Columbus's rooms were inadequate and very small -- like college dorm rooms. It was more kind of like a hospital, so I didn't really like that. You choose the bedroom, and if you need assistance, they will add that on as a package.

We visited The Woodlands of Columbus. The staff was very friendly. The place seemed clean and well designed. The price was very reasonable. At that time, they did not have any space for two people. Everything was fine. There were lots of activities going on. The dining area was very nice.

Of the places I've visited, Woodlands was probably the best one and it wasn't much more expensive. The room I looked at was very attractive and it had a nice front view. I liked the cathedral ceiling because it gave an impression it was bigger. I wasn't too crazy about the kitchen. Under the sink, it had a little curtain like thing, I didn't like that. That was very old fashioned.
Memory Care Reviews for The Woodlands of Columbus

We chose The Woodlands of Columbus for dad. I met with the director, and I've gone on a tour. I'm taking my dad there today for an evaluation. I liked it the most because they didn't isolate the memory care from the assisted living care. They do a great job of balancing both memory care and assisted living care together. The price point is excellent compared to most. It's an older facility, but they're doing upgrades within the interior. I was pleased with that. The location is convenient, and I felt very comfortable there. I think there's a lot of diversity there, which helps as well. The staff was very personable, informative, and patient. I felt like I was welcome. They have a beauty and barber salon, an activity room, a spa and treatment room, and on-site physical therapy. They have twenty-four-hour kitchen service, meal service, laundry service, and twenty-four-hour nursing care. They have a bathroom and shower in each room.
