Overview of Traditions of Columbus

Traditions of Columbus offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Columbus, Indiana. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private apartment, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, and respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Having several care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since a move to another level of care does not require leaving the community. Traditions of Columbus has 117 beds, giving families the facility’s total licensed capacity when considering its size. Pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to keep a pet while living there.

Restaurant-style dining with chef-prepared meals gives residents meals served in a restaurant-style setting, while a salon and spa provides an on-site place for grooming services. Large outdoor patios and courtyards provide designated spaces for residents to spend time outdoors, and scheduled trips, outings, and transportation support participation in planned activities beyond the community. Rehabilitation services, including short-term rehabilitation, are available for residents recovering from an illness, injury, or procedure.

The area has a Walk Score of 68, described as somewhat walkable, meaning some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can handle certain nearby errands independently. Stacey Gallardo serves as administrator, and Sabra Midwest Operations Vii operates the community.
