I recently was a vendor at a Christmas event for the residents. I hope that an impression from someone outside the organization or from a resident can give you a unique and unbiased insight into the facility. From what I experienced during the planning and the party, I truly felt that the staff wanted what was best for the residents and didn’t just go through the motions. The three staff members in charge had planned a well-organized party with a fun atmosphere and engaging activities. I could hear the interactions between residents and staff throughout the party, and it was clear they had a great rapport. The facilities were immaculate and had good security. Even walking through the halls, you could see a variety of upcoming activities for the residents displayed on the many TV screens. I am not in a place where I need a facility like this, but if I did, this would be a great place to live. The residents, who have wide and interesting backgrounds, were quick with a smile and conversation. You could tell they also had great friendships and relationships among themselves, frequently participating in activities together. I had a great experience, and by the looks of it and my discussions with the residents, they enjoy life at Westminster-Thurber as well.

As the owner a large homecare provider in Columbus, I want to share my experience over the past 8-years with the Westminster staff as we serviced residents in the facility. Especially, Amanda Bailey, more recently. She is always kind and helpful when I refer clients to their rehab, assisted living, memory care, or independent living areas. Tours, video calls, or timely information is only a call away. My referrals tell me they are treated with respect and treated with care and patience as they navigate what is the best avenue to care for their loved one. I couldn't recommend them as a facility, or Amanda, more highly having had my clients move in long term and many others who have had all their questions answered in a timely, professional manner.

Great place. We were willing to wait years to get into the place we wanted. Educated, intelligent residents make great friendship circles. Wide range of living levels--from independent living to memory care and more. Medical facilities on site. Proximity to downtown, Short North and Grandview restaurants, etc. We are incredibly pleased to be here. Attached is a shot ftom our window.

My husband and I moved into the new OLWT building, Heritage Pointe, in May. We both agree it was the best decision we have ever made. Our apartment is gorgeous, and the welcome we got was unexpectedly warm. Since we have been here, we have been enjoying the pool, fitness room, restaurant, educational programs, and, most importantly, the people. I love the proximity to downtown -- free rides to the theaters, restaurants, and stores nearby. If you are even thinking of moving here, get on the wait list! When your name is called, you will not be disappointed!! We love it here!

I checked out several retirement communities before choosing Ohio Living Westminster-Thurber. I eventually chose to live here because it has a better recreation, education and social program than any of the others I looked at. I chose a small apartment in Thurber Tower because I wanted to downsize. Thurber Tower is also the activities and social center of the community, and I wanted to be where everything goes on. I have a beautiful view of the downtown skyline and friendly and supportive neighbors. My dog likes the neighborhood. I ate at other communities as I was looking. The food at the restaurant here is definitely superior. The front desk is very helpful, and building security is excellent. Maintenance has been very responsive for the few problems I've had. Perhaps, the best feature is the life-long care I will receive. I will never be asked to leave. This is not to say that everything here is perfect. We're old folks. We like to grumble. But I am very happy in my choice to live here.
