Assisted Living, Independent Living & Memory Care · Columbus, OH

Overview of Cherry Blossom Senior Living

Cherry Blossom Senior Living is a continuum of care community located at 7980 East Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio. Managed under the Continental Senior Communities network with Elizabeth Curtis serving as Director of Nursing, the property provides integrated independent living, assisted living, and memory care services.

The property accommodates pets, and the campus features private senior apartments in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations. Daily services provide residents with scheduled local transportation, active fitness options, and diverse recreational programming.

Located about nine miles east of downtown Columbus, the community carries a walk score of 30, meaning the immediate area is car-dependent, though the facility’s dedicated transit infrastructure helps support resident errands and off-site activities.

Prospective residents can contact the East Broad Street business office directly to confirm current apartment floor plan availability, request monthly pricing lists, or coordinate an on-site property tour.
