Overview of The Woodlands of Columbia

Considerably one of the trusted senior living communities in Westerville, The Woodlands of Columbia is an expansive community that provides a warm and welcoming environment for the residents– making them feel right at home. Offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing services; the retirement home strives to promote an engaging social life for the seniors to create endless possibilities for them and develop meaningful relationships that blossom into beautiful memories. The Woodlands is the home where people and interests are mattered and cared for.
Assisted living levels of care offer a range of services focused on the individualized and personal care needs of its residents: transportation, a geriatric physician, and a 24/7 nursing staff– the same goes for the memory care unit. The continuum of services extends to nursing home care that focuses on short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing.

What families are saying

Personalized attention and individual support

The management and communication at the complex are severely lacking, with numerous reports of unresponsiveness to maintenance requests, billing issues, and general inquiries. Residents have experienced significant delays in receiving responses, leading to unresolved problems and frustration.

Personal attention

Safety standards and resident security

Safety and security concerns are prevalent among residents, with reports of crimes, unauthorized individuals residing in apartments, and lack of effective surveillance. These issues contribute to feelings of fear and insecurity among tenants, undermining the sense of a safe living environment.
