My two sisters (Diane & Janice) have been enjoying attending "Coffees" and "OWLS" programs for a number of years. We are all in our 80's now and are still looking forward to learning and sharing our adventurers. We drive in from different surrounding communities and meet up at Ohio Living Westminster-Thurber in Columbus, OH for interesting and informative presentations like "Coffee" (once a month) or OWL'S (various schedules) and then enjoy lunch together at one of their delicious restaurants. We've added friends and family over the years and highly recommend this outstanding group of "Sharing the Way" advisors, teachers and creators. Thank You All!

Staff is friendly, professional and they are knowledgeable about how to care for older adults. They have been awarded the Great Place to Work certification and been voted by the readers of the Columbus Dispatch as the CBUS "Top Pick" in Senior Living for seven years in a row (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022). The location is amazing.

I chose WT because I had been here 12 years ago to recover from heart surgery. Once again, I needed help after another heart procedure. I was just as impressed with this short term stay as the previous one. Staff is outstanding. Only complaint was getting into the facility and leaving due to all the construction. I highly recommend this facility for long and short term care. I love that the rooms are big and there is a bathroom right in the room. Most convenient for my needs. Thanks again for your caring help WT staff You're the greatest!!

I have been a resident since 2016 when my husband and I moved into Goodale Landing. We loved it from the start. Beautiful apartment, great staff, most of all, great people. My husband recently passed away at home with Ohio Living Hospice Care. They were wonderful and helped me so much. This is a Community of caring loving people. I serve in many ways because this is a place where you want to give back and serve.

Recently, I fell from a ladder and down a full flight of stairs. I sustained many injuries including a broken illium (pelvis), multiple fractured ribs, double fractures of my radius, a fractured tibia, tissue damage in my knee, and injuries to my shoulders. When I arrived at Westminster-Thurber, it was the last place I wanted to be - I wanted to go straight home but my injuries were too extensive and I had a long way to go to be ready to be on my own. In a very short time I realized I was exactly where I needed to be. I spent 11 days in the hospital and now a total of 11 days at Westminster. Its been an amazing experience here. Of course the facility is very nice and the room is very comfortable and pleasant. Every day housekeeping comes and makes your room spic and span! Tasty meals are delivered to your room or dining room. The nurses are very conscious of your need for pain medication and are careful to deliver it when due. The nurses aids were so attentive and helped in every way they possibly could. I required a lot of care but no one ever seemed irritated by my needs. They were skilled, prompt, compassionate and friendly. I loved my physical therapists and occupational therapists. They asked questions to understand me and my needs once home. They communicated well my goals and how to accomplish them. I received therapy every day! My healing has been remarkable! Everyone here seems to believe they are just one member of this team and all work together toward the same end. Social services was involved from the very beginning to address any questions or concerns I may have had. And at my time of discharge, made all the arrangements for equipment and home health care. In the future, I ever do need rehab services or if my husband does we will definitely come back to Westminster-Thurber and will recommend them to anyone we know. Farewell to all the people who served me so well. Thank you so much for everything you did to get me back on my feet! You are amazing and I am greatly blessed because of you!

We had the privilege of taking my family member to WT for rehab. I cant say enough about the wonderful staff and the care that they provided. Everyone went above and beyond for him. We were updated frequently and always aware of the situation. If we ever have to do a rehab-facility stay again then we will definitely return!

Wow, what terrible reviews for this facility. My review is not based on the care I received but the facility. I must say since the last time I was there for rehab which around 8-10 years ago the facility has changed. What was a luxury rehab to now is now run down and needs major attention to both interior and exterior areas. The paint is old, lamps are stained or needs replaced, the dining area on the floor is not inviting, there are stains on items and needs a major cleaning. What is with the towel shortage? I had to ask everyday for those and times I had to dry my face on paper towels. As for the staff I did not have any issues and they accommodated me with care. I recommended several employees for employee of the month as they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. However, there needs to be major adjustments with staffing. Here are examples; a nurse had to work 36 hours because no one came in to take the next shift, this is not permissible and unsafe. (the weather was fine) Dont get me wrong the nurse did the best they could because they loved their job and the people in the facility, there were times the aides did not show up for their shift which caused a burden on the aide who did come in, one aide to care for 16-17 patients is uncalled for and unsafe. Thankfully I was in for rehab and not after a major surgery. The PT and OT were great with me! And yes sometimes came across harsh, but that was their way to motivate me to do my best and gain my strength and confidence. My opinion to the owners of this facility invest in this property and your employees this would become the Westminster Thurber that I remember!

My Father came to Westminster Rehab for therapy. Admissions team was absolutely hard working and got the job done to implement needs for my father. The day arriving staff was professional, friendly, and welcoming. My Father felt right at home from the moment he arrived. Orientation and expectations were reviewed and expedited. Nursing staff on the Rehab unit was amazing thoughtful and very caring (Estella and F. Adams was Great!). The aides were also very nice and helpful (Chanel). The therapy department was EXCELLANT - this is why my father came to Ohio Living - a job well done - met all of his needs - Above and beyond. Social workers are a step above they coordinated my fathers home therapy and made sure a follow up doctor appointment was made and prescriptions were ready for pick up when he left. When my father discharged, home therapy from Ohio living came and did a home evaluation and he no longer needed oxygen or additional therapy. Big Thanks to every part of the team from beginning to end .

The staff is amazing! The residents are well taken care of and the staff know so much about them on a personal level - its the next best thing to being in their own home ! I recommend asking for a tour when they are available and pay attention to staff interaction with our parents- grandparents. It gives our family peace of mind knowing they are in a secure, clean, friendly, autonomous environment!

There arent enough words to explain how truly blessed my family was to have my grandfather in the care of Westminster-Thurber. He had been placed in their rehabilitation facility a couple of times over the years, which was always a pleasant stay with caring staff. Most recently, my grandfather was placed in long term care, where he was constantly surrounded by educated, thorough, and dedicated staff. In his final days, our family was treated with so much care; from nurses, the Chaplain, hospice, and Westminster-Thurber staff checking in on us, to staff providing us with a snack and drink cart so none of us would go hungry during our time of grief. I would HIGHLY recommend this facility to anyone looking for short or long-term care for themselves or a loved one! Thank you Westminster-Thurber!

From the first moment you walk into the building, the greeters made us feel at home and that speaks volumes to me. My dad has been in Westminster-Thurber for rehab in the past and most recently was a long term care resident. I cannot say enough about the care that he received during his stay and the support that was given to my family. I visited several other facilities prior to placing my dad here and none of them compared. From the nursing staff, kitchen staff, aids, Chaplain, Dr. Kanter and nurse practitioner Katie, we cannot thank you enough! You made it so much easier on us knowing we could leave my dad and he would be taken care of. We want to give a special thanks to Bob from Ohio Living Hospice and everyone through Ohio Living Hospice for all the extra care provided for my dad. My Dad definitely had a few special staff members that he really liked and we will miss: Stephen, Princess and Kelsey Tracee Collins- Hartwell Family

Had the opportunity to tour the facility and surprised by how nice it was. I dive by the buildings all the time and never knew how much Ohio Living has to offer in such a great location. This is a must for anyone looking for great care in a great location of Columbus!

My husband and I moved to OLWT in June 2018. In the few months we have lived here we have come to know many wonderful people and made many new friends. Expertly planned activities keep us busy and involved, and our resident association is a lively and effective organization. Management and staff are great. What more can I say. OLWT is home!

My mother recieved the best rehab care here at the Ohio Living Westminster-Thurber Rehab Studios before moving into an Assisted Living apartment. Staff became her friends and positively impacted her quality of life right up until her peaceful passing in 2016. Our family is forever grateful.

My husband and I, as well as our dog Mitzi, have lived at Westminster-Thurber since 2012, in two different buildings. We first researched the "continuing care retirement" organizations in the area when choosing a place for my mother to live, so we were already familiar with (and sold on) Westminster-Thurber when we decided to sell up and move here. In addition to finding the staff to be focused on residents' well-being at all times, we have found many new friends here and really enjoy being so close to downtown Columbus and all the opportunities it offers.

Life at Ohio Living Westminster-Thurber has been amazing and satisfying for the six years I’ve lived here. There are activities to suit any tastes, including physical, intellectual and spiritual. There is transportation to many parts of town. Most of all, I love being surrounded by kind, caring people, both residents and staff members.

My mother-in-law spent her last decade of life here and late in her life, my wife and I and our dog moved in. OL-WT took wonderful care of my mother-in-law, including living up to their commitment to continue her care even after her money ran out. Our dog loves life here and we enjoy being with the friends we have made.

As a former employee and now friend of several Westminster-Thurber residents, I can confidently recommend Ohio Living Westminster-Thurber to anyone. Staff are friendly to visitors, residents and other staff - there is low staff turnover. There is an emphasis on person-centered care meaning that many of the niceties of home happen naturally here including friendly pets, gardening, and delicious, healthy meals prepared by quality chefs.

Couldn't be in a better place. Extraordinary staff support. GREAT food in all three dining venues. More and varied activities than any one person could need. Always seeking new ways, new ideas to create a genuine "community" of engaged people. Active resident association. Highly recommend OLWT

After three years as a resident, I have found Westminster-Thurber an excellent place to live. Located in the center of the city in high-rise buildings, it is close to sports venues, cultural opportunities, and a wide range of fine restaurants and shopping. The staff is friendly and competent and the other residents are very pleasant to be with.
