My mother is at The Woodlands of Columbus. They all seem to be working together to make the best situation for each client. I like the feel of it. She's in the memory care section, and it's large. There are two areas that they can go to, and everybody keeps track of them. It has different activities for them to do. I'm pleased. Everybody seems to be caring. It's very clean, very well-kept, and very organized. Just everybody that works there seems to be giving 100%. Just watching the people that are working with my mom and those others that are there, it just seems like a caring staff. I've checked their menu. I've been there three times when my mom had a meal. It seemed good and reasonable. My mom's a picky eater, and she's done fairly well. The rooms are larger than where she was previously. Everything with the laundry is done very efficiently. The previous place she was at was a much more expensive place, and they did laundry very poorly. They didn't organize it by the person that it was for very well. They do it wonderfully at this place. It just all around seems extremely well run.

I visited The Woodlands of Columbus and saw their memory care. I like the fact that it was on the first floor, even though it was a secure area. However, I did not like the fact that the open area they have was not open from the memory care unit, even though it was also on the first floor. They were also under renovation, so perhaps that's why I felt there was a lot of noise and stimulation. I didn't have any close interactions with the staff. They passed us in the hallways, and the marketing director said hi to them, but I did not have any positive or negative impression of the staff. The marketing director, on the other hand, acted like I was imposing on her day, even though it was a scheduled appointment. I felt like, although she offered me the opportunity to ask questions, maybe she had something else she needed to be doing, and I was not part of her plans for the day. They're under renovation in different areas, so it's hard to judge the cleanliness because you have some construction dust in different places. I smelled an unpleasant smell. They showed me a room, and there is an outdoor space, but again, it was not accessible from the memory care unit, and I was disappointed in that. They did walk me through some activity areas.

I went to look at The Woodlands of Columbus. The facilities were just dirty. It was dirty inside. They said that they were doing some construction work. I was not impressed by the rooms. The staff members were welcoming and warm. The people that I saw looked happy. But to my standard of living, where I would put any of my family members, they would not be one that I would select.

The Woodlands of Columbus was nice. The staff was nice and cordial, and they told us everything. The rooms looked fine for my brother because that's all he needs. He doesn't need anything too big. It looked really clean and nice. They had puzzles, chess, and other things to do. The cafeteria was clean and nice. The staff was really friendly, very helpful, and kind.

We went to look at the Woodlands of Columbus. The staff was friendly. The facility felt like a hospital room. They need better ventilation. They looked more like a daycare than a community. The dining area was more like a high school cafeteria. It's near restaurants and hospitals.

I toured The Woodlands of Columbus for my mom. They seem to have a good staff there. However, I wasn't overly impressed with that one. It is definitely an older facility. They are going through some revisions though, and kind of getting things more modern and up to date. There's definitely a lack of closet space. You get an armoire that comes with the rooms there for a closet, but you don't get separate closets for your linens or separate closets for coats. It is assisted living, so it's comparable with other assisted living that I've seen. I've seen about six facilities now, and admittedly they're somewhat similar in their makeup. The staff is very communicative. Even the director called to see what concerns I had and so forth, and he was very good about following up even though he's extremely busy. I appreciated that. They have a nice community room where they have musical activities. They also have a garden area where their residents can come and garden. Of the two units I was shown, one was in complete disrepair, and the other one had water spots on the ceiling, so I have some safety concerns there.

They were very accommodating at The Woodlands of Columbus. The facilities were a little dated, but adequate. The Director did an excellent job of providing us with a tour and explaining a number of things. The Director provided us with information, which we didn't ask for, but it was useful information. We looked at studios. There were activity rooms, a dining hall, a general socializing area, and a courtyard. There was gardening that people were able to do.

The Woodlands of Columbus was nice and clean, and the people were super friendly. They have rooms to care for people, and they were laid out such that everything seemed to be handy and easily accessible. They have things for people to do just to get them out of the room, and they do activities, whether it's physical therapy or craft work or something else. It seemed like an older building, but other than that, everything was just fine.

We placed my dad at The Woodlands of Columbus. The facility is very homey, calm, and really nice. The staff is really nice. Just this morning, I was talking to his nurse, and she explained everything down to a T of what was going on and what was happening. The communication is amazing and I am happy with it. They do bingo, movie nights, word searches, and group therapies. They also have their own salon. It's like a little community that is really close together. All the meals that Dad has eaten look really good. If you're a family member and you want to eat with them, they invite you to come, and the first meal is on them, which is pretty cool. They visit each resident's room once a week and they clean their rooms and they do the laundry.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
