A Five-Star Haven for Mom (and Peace of Mind for Me!)…read more After interviewing 9 assisted living facilities across Columbus this past March, I did what any thorough first born son would do: I created a spreadsheet, took notes, captured all the move in and monthly costs, and probably annoyed more than a few executive directors with my questions. But the moment I stepped into The Inn at Bear Trail, I knew I'd found "the one." And I'm not just saying that because it smelled like fresh flowers and good decisions--though it absolutely did - even the Memory Care unit! (trust me that's a key clue that they are on top of things). What sealed the deal? The staff. These folks are the real deal - Starting with Mike Harvey who runs a tight ship over there and is super attentive via text or voice at all times. His aids and nurses are professional, warm, and genuinely there when you need them. They move through the halls like a well-choreographed dance team, always available, always positive, and always one step ahead of what my mom needs next. They're proactive about her care, catching details I'd miss and implementing solutions before problems even arise. It also did not hurt that they were the most affordable option out of all the other AL places I toured in the Columbus area. My mom is thriving, and honestly, so am I. Knowing she's in such capable, compassionate hands? Priceless. If you're searching for the best care for your Mom or Dad and you want them in the Columbus area stop searching. You've found it. Highly Recommended. No spreadsheet required.

We are paying a significant amount for care, yet the overall experience has been disappointing. The…read morequality of the food is minimal, and residents are restricted to eating only during designated meal times. If a meal is missed, there are no adequate alternatives provided--sometimes only broth and crackers are offered. Services that are supposed to be included in the monthly fee, such as weekly cleaning and laundry, were not consistently completed without repeated reminders. It often required ongoing follow-up with staff to ensure these basic services were performed. There have also been concerning issues with care. On one occasion, a nurse attempted to administer an excessive amount of medication to my parent, which raised serious safety concerns. Additionally, the facility manager has not been particularly approachable or helpful when addressing issues. Billing has also been problematic. The most recent statement included additional charges we felt were not owed, requiring us to escalate the matter to corporate. To their credit, the corporate office was responsive, professional, and understanding of the concerns raised--many of which extend beyond what is outlined here. If issues arise, I would recommend contacting the corporate office directly at 740-345-3700 under Jerry McClain Companies

My 4 year old son who was transitioned from Help Me Grow into a public preschool has been attending…read morespeech and occupational therapies at Specialized Speech Technology to help with his development. We really like this clinic compared to others we've been to in the past. The location is very accessible and there's a big waiting room enough for adults to sit and relax while waiting for their child/children. We have been to different clinics where waiting room is either way too small or too congested with kids toys laying around the floor. Specialized Speech instead provides 2 massage chairs besides a stationary touch screen busy board for the siblings who wait in the waiting room. I think it's a very thoughtful and simple ways of providing convenience for both kids/siblings and parents without crowding the waiting room with a bunch of toys that could be hazardous sometimes. Classes are clean, well equipped and the staff are excellent! Jenni is very prompt and accommodating when it comes to scheduling and the therapists really work hard to cater to your kids needs'. My son has been showing great progress and we will continue to spread the good words about this place. Thank you SST!

The temperatures in the room reached and remained at over 79 degrees into the night and we were told that climate control was restricted to "opening a window" on the noises and smells of a busy urban street, including car and truck exhausts. I think said window opened all of 2 inches. A proper facility should, IMHO have a patient adjustable thermostat IN EVERY ROOM.
