We were pleased with maintenance. We had some problems and within 24 hours they fixed everything. All the workers have been friendly and helpful. The people who work in the dining area... The ladies who clean our apartments, the men and women who "run the show" are all excellent.

The Marketing representative was very helpful in making the transition from filling out paperwork, touring the facility, to moving in. Housekeeping does great at cleaning and food is very good and severed in a nice setting daily. We have been well pleased so far.

The facility seems immaculately clean each time I visit. Communication with the family is excellent. The move in process was easy and seamless. I have only eaten there once. Frankly, the food could have been warmer though the quality was good. I would suggest more info regarding staff training and vetting. I would recommend this facility without reservation.

September 16, 2024We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and glad we made a good impression here at Laurel Hurst and Laurel Woods.
These facilities are very expensive per square. foot but this is a very nice facility. I tell others we were very blessed to be presented with the opportunity for my mom to live at this community, at exactly the right time.I cannot comment on activities because I have not been there enough to know what they are. Food is also outside my reach, but my mom says it's a lot of meat and she does not eat meat. She would prefer more options like beans, potatoes, noodles, rice, non-meat dishes.

September 11, 2024We appreciate your rating and review. Our team works hard to ensure the care they are providing meets resident and family satisfaction.
The decision to move mom into a facility was very difficult for my wife. The staff at Laurelwoods has my wife relax. My mother-in-law is happy and so well cared for. I am thankful that the staff has lifted this burden off of my wife.

August 22, 2024Tracy B, we are very happy we could provide you with a positive experience!
Everyone is SO warm, friendly and welcoming. The residents and the staff. We love that they are pet friendly and that they receive hot cooked meals that are served twice a day. Also love that so much is included, like transportation for doctor appointments and errand running. My only mild complaint is that I think it could be a bit cleaner but it is certainly adequate and my parents are quite satisfied with their experience thus far.

We picked this community, because of the location and the staff. We would first point a friend, to A Place for Mom and have already told some friends of our experiences at the three facilities we looked into.

I can honestly say 5+ stars for every single one of these categories. So far we have been very pleased with Laurel Hurst and Laurel Woods. Their staff team and my mother loves it there. They are very caring and make it feel more like home instead of an institution. The activities they have for the residents have really helped my mother to thrive there.

The independent living building is newly renovated and well-maintained. The two bedroom apartments are large and well laid out. The location is very convenient to downtown Columbus and grocery store and eateries. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The downsides are that there is virtually no cell phone reception in the area so the only option is using Windstream for telephone. The other negative was that they had trouble keeping kitchen staff and providing the well rounded meals that were to be provided in the monthly rent.
