I liked Westerwood. The staff gave me the best tour that anybody has ever done. I was there for a couple of hours. He showed me just about everything that there was. They had so much available at that place. They have an artist that's there four days a week to help residents with artwork. They had a woodworking facility. They had an exercise room with a variety of decent amounts of equipment. They had so many activities, which was what I wanted. They update all of their rooms before somebody moves in, and they're doing a really great job. There's one meal included in the price. Unfortunately, the location was not very good. It was in an area with a high crime rate several years ago, but the man who gave me the tour said that that has been taken care of, so I need to check on that. But as far as all the opportunities they have there for you, and the price of the room and all of it, I would give it a perfect score. It was an older building, but it's very up-to-date now. It looked clean and nice.

The apartments at Westerwood were nicely appointed. They were a good size and had good lighting (as there are lots of nice windows). It was a very nice setting. There are a lot of mature trees. However, the overall facility, to me, looked dated. The buildings and the hallways and everything looked kind of aged.
The staff was excellent though. They gave a lot of good information, were very helpful, and answered any question we had. They also appear to have a lot of amenities and things you could do. However, they did not have a pool and that was a drawback for me.

The staff at Westerwood was very nice and helpful. The rooms had different layouts. They had rooms with garages to them and lots of storage areas. They were very nice. They had a little garden area outside, a pool table, a woodshop, and an exercise room.

We chose Westerwood for mom because of the friendliness of the residents and the staff was overwhelming compared to other places we visited. I liked the number of activities they have, too. There's Bocce ball, cards, music, an arts and crafts room, woodworking, Bible study, and assistance to go grocery shopping. They also go to arts festivals, plays, movies, and all kinds of things. The food is good. There are just some things that can be updated, but I think they're working on those.

I went to Westerwood. I think they did a really good job. They gave me a good tour. I went there and had lunch with them and talked with them. I had a lot of time to talk with them about stuff.
Overall, I think it's a very good place. The thing I liked the least was the money, that it takes a lot of money to go there, and it's very difficult for me. I'm going to have to go to a really small apartment. As far as good things, it had very good things. I just was very pleased with what was there and the activities that they have for people. I thought it was very clean. The food was OK; it was good.
The staff was wonderful, all of them. They have a lot of classes. They have an art room, which I'm really interested in.

Westerwood was a nice community, clean, and spacious. It just wasn't closer to us children, where it would be easier to kind of keep an eye on my mom. If it was closer to a neighborhood to where we live, that would have been better. The apartments were nice. It would have been a place she would enjoy being at. The staff was very nice and very knowledgeable. They had independent and assisted living. They showed me the laundry room, library, utility room, washer and dryer room, eating area, and courtyard. The building looked nice.

We went to Westerwood. It was large, it was spacious, they had a thousand social activities, and there were trees and woods all around. The staff seems nice, warm, and engaging. It was wonderful. I liked the residents, who said "hello" all the time and talked instead of just walking by. It was a very nice structure with different sizes and layouts available. They're very convenient.

Friendship Village Columbus was nice. It was just more expensive than the other place we visited. They showed a 2-bedroom, 2-bath, and it was just too small for the price. I could get a better deal at the other place, but Friendship Village Columbus had a nice little wooded area with a gazebo, and I liked it.

My mother chose Friendship Village Columbus. She toured quite a few places and immediately saw this one as being her home. They're very friendly and very attentive. She's in the senior living, so they don't have to come up and do things for her unless something broke in the apartment. They're very good to her. I've eaten there, and it's very good, like eating home-cooked food. They have a lot of activities, and she's busy every day. We've already recommended them to quite a few of her friends who have visited her and seen how nice, friendly, and homey it is.

The care provided was excellent. I live out of state and the staff kept me well informed of my mother's condition.

My mother has been in Friendship Village of Columbus for 13 years, and my dad was there until he passed away. It has all the elements from independent living, memory care, assisted living, to a health center all on one campus. It's nice and large, and there are some newer areas, but overall it's aging and certain areas are not kept up. It's fairly economical for long-term care with a pretty good variety of facilities from exercise facilities to memory care. I've never had any trouble with any of the staff. They've been very good to my mother and work really hard. They don't have a wide variety of menu items, but they've refreshed it, and the food is very good. They upgraded the dining experience overall, including table settings. Their activities are cruise ship quality.

We were very happy with Friendship Village of Columbus. It’s very well known in the Columbus area, and they are excellent. I found the person that we talked to to be extremely friendly and very personable, and it was obvious that the staff cared about the people.

Friendship Village Columbus was phenomenal. The place was awesome. It smelled nice, and the staff and the patients were very friendly. The staff were really interactive with the patient. The rooms are very nice, and their dining area was awesome. It was kind of like a restaurant, and it was very well kept and very clean. The patients seemed very happy to be there. They have arts and crafts and asenior bus that would take them to places which I thought was very nice.

I looked at Friendship Village and it was endowment program. It was quite costly but to be very honest one of the things that I noticed especially an older facility, the hallways were dark.

When we visited Friendship Village of Columbus, we saw too many old people. The set-up was a little bit confusing and you had to walk miles from one end to another. They didn't have a park in the community. We didn't get to talk to the staff. The food was okay but you have to be very early because otherwise the good stuff is gone. I would still recommend this facility because overall it was still very nice.
