Middleton Senior Living in Granville, OH
Dedicated professional staff provides compassionate care to all residents in a beautiful well-maintained facility. Their attention to detail of the health and well being those in their care is best in the business. The food is outstanding and abundant and there is an activity in progress every day. My mother receives excellent care and is very happy living at Middleton Senior Living.

The community has raised the price twice; one for COVID related and the other one being due to the increasing care of my loved one. On Bickford's website and Facebook page I've been lucky enough to see my loved one engaged in activities. I have a co-worker who I am encouraging to go to Bickford of Worthington for their loved ones.
Read moreThe Avalon of Lewis Center
I chose First and Main because they accepted pets at the time and also it was one of the lesser expensive ones that I looked into. The administrative staff and everyday staff here are very friendly. The room sizes are a little on the smaller side. There is not much closet space. A lot of the foods served are greasy and the quality is not very good. I am able to cook in my room so I do that if I do not like what is served or if I do not want to go downstairs to eat. They do serve really good ice cream, but they only have the basic flavors, when I first came they had a lot of variety of choices. A lot of the residents here are in wheelchairs or are bedridden, so they are a little further with the care they need than I am, so that can be difficult. But overall, I would recommend them to others who are looking.
