Overview of Four Seasons Retirement Center

A salon, a fitness center, and walking paths are part of ordinary life at Four Seasons Retirement Center. Pets are allowed, so nobody has to rehome their cat or dog before being allowed to move in. Capacity here is 239 beds.

Independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all operate at this Columbus address. What changes when a resident needs help is the care they receive, not the people they know or the neighbors they keep.

Memory care answers a pertinent question: it’s for when someone who drove the same route all their life starts to have trouble getting where they’re going, and explaining things stops working.

Medicare and private pay are both accepted. Medicare covers a defined stretch of skilled care after a hospital admission, and private funds cover what falls outside that.

Bhi Senior Living operates the community, and Rebecca Stenner serves as the administrator here. Someone who wants their own space now, and expects to need help later, gets both without a second move.
