Overview of Westerville Senior Living

About eight miles north of Columbus, Westerville Senior Living is a mid-rise community in the Sharon neighborhood of Westerville, Ohio. Opened in 2017, it offers a three-level care model, assisted living, independent living, and memory care, all in one place. This arrangement means occupants can stay on-site if their care needs change, a practical benefit for families planning instead of reacting to an urgent crisis. Katlyn Gakunju serves as administrator, with Bobby Folden as executive director.

The home sits on Braun Place in Franklin County, near Mount Carmel St. Ann’s hospital, just 0.41 miles away. That hospital proximity makes routine medical appointments and emergency access easy. The car-dependent location carries a Walk Score of 22, so occupants and visiting families will need transportation for most activities outside the building. On-site transportation helps residents navigate this need. Floor plans offer valuable choice: studios, one-, and two-bedroom units give residents flexibility in configuring their living space. Housing options at this price point matter, especially when families select between communities with different space trade-offs. Daily amenities include on-site dining, plus fitness and recreation services offered to all three care levels. Pets are welcome, which attracts residents wanting to keep their companions close. Recreation programming ensures occupants have structured activity options all week. The dining program bolsters residents across all three care levels, handling different independence levels and preferences. The three-care-level structure is worth factoring into any family decision. Occupants in assisted living who later need more support can shift to a higher care level without leaving the community. Similarly, as needs evolve, independent-living residents can move into assisted living or memory care. That continuity reduces the disruption and upheaval that often comes with moving to a new facility.

At eight years old with a mid-rise format, three integrated care levels, on-site dining and recreation, and sub-half-mile hospital access, Westerville Senior Living is a straightforward option for families in the Westerville and greater Franklin County area who are navigating assisted living, independent living, or memory care.
