Overview of Columbus Alzheimer Care Center

Columbus Alzheimer Care Center in the Olentangy Commons neighborhood is a 99-bed, one-story building at 700 Jasonway Ave that’s really dialed in on memory care, along with hospice, palliative, and respite care. They’re open 24/7, and they’re only about two miles from OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital. Just a heads up if you visit: the neighborhood has a Walk Score of 45, so while you can walk to grab a few things, you’ll mostly want a car.

The stats here tell a pretty clear story: with 98.6% occupancy and an average stay of 132 days, this isn’t the kind of place you go for a quick rehab stint. This is designed to be a long-term home for people dealing with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Everything from the secure outdoor courtyards to the activities they plan is built around that specific lifestyle.

Day-to-day care is a big focus. Residents get about 3 hours and 3 minutes of nursing attention daily, which is split up between nurse aides, RNs, and LPN/LVNs. They do offer short-term rehab services too, and there’s always someone on staff. You can choose between private or semi-private rooms, and they have perks like a hair salon and those secure courtyards I mentioned. They also make sure meals are chef-prepared with a focus on balanced nutrition.

They take Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. If you’re a family trying to figure out the right long-term move for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia in the Columbus area, this place is worth a look because they’ve really centered everything they do around the people living there.

At Ease Home Care

200 E Campus View Blvd Ste 200, Columbus, OH 43235
Overview of At Ease Home Care

At Ease Home Care operates out of Columbus, Ohio, providing home care and respite care, run day-to-day by co-founder and Financial Administrator Sara Jenkins. Walk Score for the area sits at 35, somewhat walkable, but this is a neighborhood where most errands mean getting in a car.

Everything here happens in the client’s own home. Live-in care covers the full-time end of things for people who need someone there consistently. Personal hygiene assistance and companion care sit on the lighter end, helping with the daily stuff, plus someone to actually talk to. Mobility and transfer assistance matter for getting safely from a bed to a chair, which is not a small thing when it’s hard to do alone. Homemaking services round out the household side, and there’s a specific veterans’ care offering for clients with a military background.

What this agency isn’t: a facility, a building, anything clinical in the traditional sense. It’s non-medical, in-home support, full stop. That’s actually the whole value proposition for a lot of families: the option to keep someone in their own home instead of moving them somewhere else entirely.

At Ease Home Care reads as a straightforward in-home care agency built around flexibility: scale up to live-in care when needed, scale down to companion visits when that’s enough. For a client whose needs shift over time, that range is the practical thing that matters most.
