Westerville Senior Living

This has been a very positive experience. The staff and administration have been responsive to any questions or concerns the family has had about our loved one. Overall I think they are doing a good job. Some of the activities available include game nights, current events, live music, parties, field trips, and more for the residents to participate in. There are three meals provided, and there is a menu for the resident to order from.

Our mother really loves the Westerville community center that is just down the road from the community and all of the staff members have been super nice and friendly. We did have one issue that occurred over the weekend where our loved one reached out to maintenance for assistance but nobody responded to that until the beginning of the week - that has been the only complaint we have had. Based on our overall experience so far we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

The staff are very friendly and good with responding to our questions/concerns. My loved ones got Covid the second they got there, and Westerville was very good with their Covid procedures. My loved ones tell me the food is not the best though.

We have been very impressed with the cleanliness of the community, there is always someone there cleaning and picking things up. Even though our loved one does not participate in all the activities we do like everything that have to offer. There is balloon volleyball and social hours Friday afternoons where they bring in live entertainment which is so nice. The staff have just been so so friendly, they are always saying hi to the residents, greeting them by their first name and greeting all the visitors. Our biggest complaint right now would just be with the meals and dining service. Our loved one is not a picky eater but sometimes they complain about the quality and length of time it takes for the food to be delivered.

My mother has been a Memory Care resident for 2 years, moving in soon after this facility opened. The staff has been extremely caring and helpful, especially through the pandemic that began soon after she moved in. My mom brightens up when she sees a team member in the hallway or lobby. The facility is beautiful. She really enjoys interacting with other residents and team members. During one of my recent visits, I observed a team activity with music and coloring books that was very peaceful and relaxing. Although the last 2 years with the pandemic has been very challenging for everyone, I am very happy with the care my mom receives.. If I do have a concern, I feel comfortable addressing it with the staff. I feel very grateful and confident that my mom is being taken care of at Westerville Senior Living. Although it is not the same as being at home, it is the next best place to call home.

We chose Westerville Senior Living because it was a newer facility and the price compared to the other ones was a lot better for the area. The apartment sizes are good, she has a 1 bedroom and has all the room she needs. She is really enjoying the meals that they serve. We have had no issues and would definitely recommend.

This is a very beautiful place. They have friendly service and keep it clean. The staff are kind and accommodating. They can be short staffed. The food seems good, and there are other entrees other than specials if the residents request it. The maintenance time for repairs could be improved.

It's a very modern facility and pleasant to be in. Everyone is very friendly, and most of the residents seem very happy. It's clean overall. They've had a bit of a problem with bugs, but it seems like they're getting a handle on it. The staff are very good, although it can take a little bit to get them moving sometimes. They just don't seem to have enough help. Our loved one seems to enjoy the food and is eating plenty of it. However she's diabetic, and they don't have enough diabetic friendly options or information for her. But she seems to be enjoying the activities she's participating in.

This community is not yet 2 years old and there are a lot of maintenance and housekeeping issues. The zoned heating system is not functioning properly and the parking lot lights are on 24 hours per day. Much energy is being wasted. Transportation is a critical issue here. The company needs to hire at least one driver for transport and take that responsibility out of the entertaining and programing department. We need more than 2 days per week for medical transportation. More management coverage is needed since this a 24/7 operation. Monday - Friday 8am to 5pm is not adequate coverage, At times I have a strong feeling that the community leadership is not getting the support and assistance they deserve from corporate. This is a very safe and secure place in which to live and I give Spectrum an A+ for the way they handled the COV19 pandemic. Staffing is a serious problem here which I understand is an industry problem. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write this review.

There needs to be better communication between residents and management.. Transportation is not as advertised. Not enough housekeeping, dining room and maintenance staff. Food is good but recipes need to be followed more consistently.

We have lived both on Assisted and Independent Living. After relaxation of COVID protocols (in accordance with Ohio guidelines) things improved. But within the past 3-4 months, the lack of staffing and slow response to problems has created dissatisfaction. Low staffing in dining, housekeeping, maintenance and most recently transportation and activities is a serious problem. One elevator was out of service for over a month. Outside drainage issues took 3 months to resolve. The lack of an alternative for transportation has caused residents to miss doctors' appointments or spend their one money for handicapped transportation. Overall cleaning of the common areas is finally being addressed. The local staffing performs admirably, but without more staffing, they face an uphill battle. This facility with some focus on staff and transportation issues could easily be a 5 star community.

There are certain things stated in the contract that are not being maintained . Transportation, as the community grows the demand for more travel to Doctors visits will be required.A permeant driver is required. Not limited to two days a week but available 5 days per week. another assistant driver could be limited to 2 days per week for grocery stores or Walmart. Because of the ability to hire waiters, etc. all mgmt. should make themselves available as servers and be able to be cross trained to do what is necessary to make the operation function properly. top mgt. should be out talking to residents daily.

The facility is not providing the services that they promised available. Most activities are lead by residents no staff . Outside activities are cancelled due to unavailable vehicle and drivers . Staff are leaving.. I see staff are doing their best to keep up with their assignments there just is not enough of them .Housekeeping staff limited and do not complete cleaning as promised in my contract.:bi weekly cleaning and bed linen changing. There is also a problem with garage access. I chose this facility because I want access to my vehicle . The entrance and exits to my garage have been locked and require a long outdoor walk to the garages . The facility has had plenty of time to address this situation and correct staying within the COVID guidelines. I will be looking at further Independent facilities if the situation does not improve before the upcoming Winter months . I am looking at a well designed and beautiful facility that is inadequately managed.

When I moved in they were fully staffed, tons of activities, fantastic place. In the last few months every person who was terrific has left to go other places. The trash rooms are filled and disgusting, the carpets are stained and so many really wonderful people have quit to go else where.
