Westerwood in Columbus offers three primary levels of residential care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—allowing residents to select the amount of daily support they need and to adjust that level as circumstances change. Independent living residents handle most tasks on their own but can add services á la carte, while the assisted living program covers help with activities such as dressing, bathing, and medication reminders. The secure Memory Care neighborhood is designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia and features specially trained staff, structured routines, and controlled access for resident safety.
The community maintains 24-hour security and a secured perimeter, and licensed nurses are on-site around the clock. Medical support includes regular physician visits, diabetes management, speech therapy, and options for respite or short-term stays. Residents have access to a full menu of on-site clinical services: showering or bathing assistance, medication coordination and management, incontinence and ambulatory care, hospice care, a wellness clinic, and specialized Memory Care oversight. Additional providers in podiatry, dentistry, optometry, physical and occupational therapy visit the campus regularly, reducing the need for outside appointments.
Apartments and suites vary in layout, but most offer kitchenettes, private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and utilities included. Select residences add balconies, patios, decks, or access to outdoor spaces, and some feature wheelchair-accessible showers. Residents are welcome to personalize their space—painting walls, rearranging furniture, or bringing a favorite piano or pet when appropriate. Not all units include every feature listed, so prospective residents should confirm specific amenities and configurations during a tour.
Dining at Westerwood emphasizes both flexibility and nutrition. Three chef-prepared meals are available daily, with an on-order option for those who prefer to choose at each sitting and a set menu for residents who like routine. Gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar dishes are standard offerings, and snacks are available throughout the day. Friends and family can join residents for guest meals in the main dining room or reserve a private space for special occasions.
Amenities support physical, social, and creative engagement. The campus includes an activity center, arts and crafts studio, woodworking shop, library and computer lounge, and fitness programs such as yoga and chair yoga. Outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and a swimming pool encourage regular exercise, while happy hours, live music, birthday parties, and planned social outings add variety to the calendar.
