The Woodlands of Columbus

We have been very happy with the Woodlands. Every aspect has been good.

This location is first on my list, however, David is being a little difficult right now. I hope to get him to agree to a second visit next month.

The staff are great! They seem to really care about their residents. Questions or concerns--just ask! Mom & Dad were to both move in, but when Dad went into the hospital in bad shape, I called and they juggled things to get Mom into a studio only a couple weeks after they were both to move into a 1 BR. My sister visits my mom often and has found the staff very cooperative in any problems or concerns.

Of all of the communities we looked at in the Columbus area, we were most pleased with this one. They made the transition from private pay to medicaid extremely smooth and easy. There are many opportunities for residents to socialize if they would like as organized by the multiple activity coordinators they have on staff. From the first time I visited, I felt that it was very homey and clean. The staff seem to truly care about the residents. As with any place, I think, you always wish that they had more people on staff, but they really seem to care and have the best interests of all the residents in mind.

They're doing a great job looking after my loved one here, they've been very accommodating in facilitating his medical needs. Thea facility itself is well kept and clean, and the staff are friendly. One area they could use some improvement on is the activities, they don't have very many of them and those they do have seem to be geared towards women. The facility also seems to have a high percentage of residents with memory issues, which makes socializing difficult.

It is an older facility, but it seemed well kept. The staff was very nice with the tour I received. There is around a 3 month waiting, and I need something ASAP.

We toured this location when we were looking into options for Mom. It was a nice enough looking community on the inside, although nothing that stood out in particular. However, to get in we had to walk past several residents and staff members outside the front door smoking, which was a bit of a turn off. The facility is also not located in the best area of town.

Really nice, just farther away from me. They were very friendly. They were doing a complete renovation, so it was nice when we visited, but now it is probably nicer. The rooms were pretty, a little bigger than the other two that we saw. I know that they had a lot of activities but when I was there they were eating lunch.

We picked Woodlands because of the caring, generous staff, smaller size of residents in the memory care unit than most places, and the consistent care she received while there. I consider The Woodlands to be one of the best residences of its type if not the best. I would highly recommend them to any family looking for a place for their loved one.

People great. Aviary. C's mil lives there. Mercedes' mom is an administrator. Coffee cups out in courtyard, which was bleak. Not a lot of trees around despite name. Room is a perfect size. Bathroom is set up for a wheel chair and the bathroom fan was super loud.

Visited this place and was pleased with the setting and staff. This would be a good choice if mom insisted on staying in the East side of Columbus.

My mother has lived at The Woodlands since October 2012. I was hesitant at first to place her there, but her attorney actually recommended it. It received excellent ratings by the State Of Ohio agency that regulates nursing facilities. I was impressed the minute I walked through the door. It's not the most aesthetically beautiful place, but the staff there is wonderful. They treat all the residents like family and the nurses in particular take a special interest in each resident. The rooms, though small, are clean and well-kept, and plenty big enough for one person. The staff gets to know each resident and his/her habits and they check on the residents often to make sure they're OK. After about three weeks, my mom began to like it there. She really likes the food and the fact that everyone says "Hello" to her and calls her by name. There are many activities to do there, including exercises, bingo, trips to local stores and restaurants on The Woodlands bus and entertainers that come at least once a week. The Woodlands is also more reasonably priced than any of the other facilities I considered. Also, The Woodlands participates in the Medicaid Waiver program which is what my mother needed. All in all, I would highly recommend The Woodlands to anyone thinking of assisted living for their parent(s). The quality of care makes all the difference in the world.
