The Ashford On Broad-Wallick in Columbus, Ohio, is an assisted-living community that centers its services on consistent medical oversight. Residents who need wound care, oxygen management, special diets, or help controlling diabetes—whether by oral medication or insulin injections—receive these supports on site. Staff members remain alert overnight to respond to “up all night” episodes, and the team is trained to work with individuals who present mild dementia symptoms, providing structure and redirection as needed.
Around-the-clock licensed nurses, background-checked caregivers, and a dedicated night-shift staff deliver hands-on assistance ranging from standby help to full Hoyer-lift transfers. Full support with bathing, dressing, and toileting is available, while residents able to feed themselves maintain that independence. A pull-cord alert system connects apartments directly to staff, and the rear grounds are fenced for additional safety. Routine podiatry visits are performed on site, and security personnel remain on the property 24 hours a day.
Apartments are offered in several layouts; some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space, though not every unit contains every feature. Residents who prefer a simpler setup can choose accommodations without certain amenities while still benefiting from maintenance and utility inclusion.
Dining services provide three daily meals with snacks available between seatings, and the culinary team manages physician-ordered diet modifications such as low-sodium or diabetic menus. Independent-living residents on campus can enroll in a monthly meal plan, and both assisted-living and independent-living tenants may choose medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and linen or personal laundry service to ease daily routines.
Resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber/beauty salon, exercise room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services contribute to everyday convenience. Scheduled transportation is available, and the property sits near public transit options for added flexibility. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, and pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
