Westminster-Thurber is a high-rise facility. Their rent is pretty much comparable to the other facilities I had visited. They have two different apartments with balconies, one overlooking a parking lot and the other one overlooking the interstate. The rooms in their apartments are much smaller. With regard to food, they have restaurants in the vicinity where you can buy your food.

Upon arrival to Westminster assisted living, the first thing that i noticed is how tall the building is, It reminded me of a High rise. i walked in there is People everywhere. The grounds are neatly kept. however the public restrooms were Nasty they were disgusting. I could not find help when my Grandpa fell. The staff are suppose to be there and at the day that i had vistited. the Supervisor over my Grandparents told me that they were short staffed and that if i needed anything or if my Grandparents needed anything i would have to do it for myself or do it for them. I said we pay you guys alot of money for them to stay here and you give such crappy service. I told the lady i was going to report her to the BBB. So she did not seem to care and then she did not want to do anything. she was not busy all she was doing was sitting behind the counter on her butt. and there were other residents that need help if i was to write a review of this facility i would have to say that i am not impressed what so ever. The Management of this place is Terrible. I would not move my dog in this place for doggy daycare that is how horrible this place is.

Grandma recently moved to the Westminster-Thurber Community, and to her own surprise, loves it. She has called us to say thank you for suggesting the move, despite her initial hesitation towards the idea. Her medical concerns are treated promptly by the caring staff, and they communicate any issues thoroughly with our family. When we visited, I was very impressed by the facility's modern, cozy look, and the friendliness of the staff and the residents. We would recommend Westminster-Thurber to any family.

I can't recommend this nursing home. Our family friend was not happy during her stay. They are shorthanded on help and calls don't get answered for a long long time. Her food was cold and tough to eat. The food servers and nurse assistants were complaining about their jobs and pay in dining room. There was a stale and bad odor in the bldg. The only good point is the animals pets walk around freely. That part was good.

The therapy people at Westminster Thurber Community seemed great. They provided great assistance to help people become a little more mobile and helpful in their lives. I was just there for two weeks. For the most part, they're accommodating. The food was fair. and the dining area seemed to have nice lights and windows. They had activities. The residents saw movies, they had Bingo and card games, and they had some outings that some people went to. I was there for rehab and I was receiving IV medication.

My father is in Westminster-Thurber Community now. We chose this facility because of the recommendations that I received from others. It's a very good facility. I like it a lot. Their staff is excellent. They're attentive. Their rooms are small but that's to be expected. They're very nice. I have no complaints whatsoever. Food is very good. They also have lots of activities for their residents; however, my father doesn't take part in them. Overall, however, I think my father is happier there. I would recommend this place to others.
Continuing Care Retirement Community Reviews for Westminster-thurber Community

Ohio Living Westminster was chosen as the 2016 retirement center. They are right downtown on Neil Ave, so it’s very close to anything that you would ever want, like the museums, the theater, ballet, and the symphony. They opened the second building within the last year and had assisted living up to memory care. The apartments were very nicely done. I looked at a onebedroom and one-bedroom plus a den. They had a swimming pool in the basement of one of the buildings. I was very impressed.

As a loved one having a family member residing at this center in their "Bridgewater" secured unit,I feel they provide adequate care for my loved one.

I have a friend staying at Westminster. It has a variety from independent senior living to total assisted nursing care. It is a full service community. It is very large. It has multiple building and it's quite nice. I like their full range of services available and if you need more care or less care, the availability to move from area to another. My friend has a standard one-bedroom apartment with sitting room area. They have lots of activities to offer. The staff is very helpful. They have no problem with the staff that I have contact into. My friend is happy there and I recommend them to others.

I visited this facility
I visited this facility with a family member who was at the time searching for a retirement community to call home. Westminster-Thurber is in a lovely area of Columbus; it is a short walk from Goodale Park, the Short North, right next to Giant Eagle grocery store, and is even right across the street from a fenced in dog park. The grounds at the facility were quite small, however it is so close to many parks and recreational areas that the property size is not much of an issue. The rooms in Thurber Tower are quite cozy; the one bedrooms are smaller than what my family member was used to in her current one bedroom apartment but were kept up quite well. The staff seemed friendly enough and it was comforting to know that the facility is very close to several hospitals in the Columbus area (Mount Carmel, Ohio State, Grant, etc.) Overall, I thought it was a very lovely community considering it is in an urban environment, but my family member decided to reside elsewhere because of how busy the area is. During our visit to Columbus, the Short North had been celebrating ComFest, a street fair in the Goodale Park area. The area was packed, there were people walking everywhere at all times of the day, and it was just too hectic and stressful for my family member, who was told that Goodale Park often has fairs like that during the warm months. While many retirees enjoy fairs and such, she was searching for something a little calmer.
