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.

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.
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.

I became a member of the Ohio Living Westminster Thurber community 9 months ago. The more that time passes, the happier I am and the more I know that I made the right decision by choosing to live here. I had expected my apartment to be beautiful and it is in every way. What surprised me is what a wonderful community of people live here! I had been a little uneasy about moving into a “community” of people after living alone in my own house for many years. I enjoy the company of others but I also enjoy my privacy, peace and quiet. I find that my apartment is very quiet and I can have all the privacy I want. To my surprise I find my community of friends and neighbors to be one of the best things about living here. My many neighbors are friendly, interesting and engaging to a one. There are so many activities, both formal and informal that go on here that I only regret that I don’t have time to participate in nearly as many as I would like. But of course there’s no hurry because I have all the time in the world. I might add that I have a couple of friends who moved here from other, similar retirement communities. They say that while their former homes were certainly more than adequate, that they greatly prefer Westminster Thurber. The administration is much more attuned to operating things according to the wishes of the residents and not just those of some corporate entity. And they tell me that while their former neighbors were okay, that they find their neighbors here to be much more friendly, interesting and fun. Moving to a retirement community is a big decision to be sure. But I have never doubted that I made the right choice when I chose to live here. In fact it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!
Great place to explore about my future needs for senior living. They have monthly coffee concertos with presenters and snacks, provide tours of the facility, and all the workers are working rather than standing around. Multiple facilities at this location to meet the sizing and facilities desired. I get very quick response on any questions that I ask online. Definitely worth considering when you are looking for a senior facility.
