Great apartments, great activities and super nice workers. The only issues are related to food and automatic debits for rent have been messed up but our Mom is living her best life so we are working on those few issues and confident we can work it out

I placed my mom at this location 2 years ago. She immediately felt at home and got involved. A wonderfully pleasant place to be for the aging. She was surrounded by loving, caring people.

This is the place to be! However, many who have left reviews seem to be mistaken about the living arrangements here. Independence Village, as indicated in its name, is for independent living with added benefits. It is not designed to be a place that provides 24/7 care for individuals. It is an apartment complex designed for seniors that provides three daily meals if residents so choose. If additional care is needed, independent caregivers can be hired. The staff, however, makes this place extraordinary! Without them, this would be like any other place. They go the extra mile, they get to know you, your family and friends…heck, they become part of your family! They care so much they get confused with a 24/7 care staff! I highly recommend this place to anyone considering independent living for seniors. It is worth it to have constant peace of mind, security, friendly residents and staff and transportation that meets your needs. Check it out!

I enjoy my life in independent living. The staff here is fabulous. They are here for the residents. From the top-rated staff to the clean rooms. It's great. The food is the main problem!

We have looked at several communities in Columbus. The staff here has been nothing short of amazing! Taking time to explain everything to us as well as maybe meeting to reassure our decision.

WE chose Independence Village of Columbus because they had larger rooms with more storage. I.E. the 2 bedroom apartment was much more spacious and homey than we had at [facility name removed]. The dining room was more welcoming and the menu has a bit larger of a selection to choose from. I would tell others to work with the sales manager. We found more prompt service when we went through her.

Most of the people here are disabled. This place was not build for the disabled. It's hard to manuver in the rooms in a wheelchair or power chair. You can't pull up to the sink or lavatory, or turn a wheelchair around in the bath room.

My loved one is currently a resident at Holiday Parkside Court and most everything has been great for her at this facility. My loved one's only complaint is the food, everything else is fine. I would recommend Holiday Parkside Court to others.

The maid, [name removed], provides outstanding service. She cleans quickly and efficiently, and is always pleasant. Also, the maintenance guy [name removed] is quick and effective with repairs.

The housekeeping is good. The move in process was smooth. The meals have improved in variety, healthfulness and portion size. I would like to see more field trips to points of interest in the area. The staff is friendly and helpful. The other residents are friendly. I like it here.

The facility is newly remodeled which has been very nice. The food that they offer to residents is not great... they also give very small portion sizes. Based off of our experience so far, we would recommend Parkside Court to friends and family.

We were treated with great respect. The sales manager worked with us diligently to find a good trial for my parents. Dad loves it there. He signs up for every activity and stays stimulated. Mom loves to just sit and read so that's mostly what she does. She loves not having to fix any meals or clean up after. The only complaint either have had is that the food is not very good. Parkside is one of only 2 that offer outside patios and that was a deciding factor. Also they are more affordable than most.
