My Mother and Father moved to DAL in February 2023. We were very excited and hopeful based on what…read morewe were told about the care my parents would receive, all of the social activities they would be involved with, assistance to meals, assistance with showers 2x/week, laundry 2x/week, bed linen change 2x/week, minimum number of RNs/LPNs and aids per resident levels, etc. Very quickly, however, it became evident that none of this was going to happen as we were told. My parents were stuck in their room for days, meals were brought to their room on trays (not their choice of food items). They had no table in their room so they were trying to figure out where to eat in the room. Physician orders for meds consistently were not retrieved; they went days without critical meds. Showers were nearly non-existent and haphazard. I had to go DAL and hunt down aides (who I usually found sitting on their own, often seemingly hiding) to make sure they provided needed and proper care. I had to put my parents' laundry basket in the hall and inform workers of the need for them to do laundry. Bed was not changed regularly as in care plan. And speaking of the care plan, none of the workers followed it. I had to call daily to ask the facility to take my parents to activities that were pre-selected for them, and to be taken to the dining room for their meals. My Mom fell often due to safety standards not being followed. Aides would pull her walker such that she had to hurry behind it. My Mom would be left in her wheelchair without the brakes on and without her walker within reach, resulting in struggles to move and in many falls. Workers allowed her to fall by not helping her and then would not report the falls. We even have video of a fall and how the aid reacted to it. When we notified this fall to the facility, the aid and the facility denied the fall even happened, and it had not been reported. Sadly, after being at this facility for 15 months, my Mom passed away. My Dad was not checked on for 14 hours nightly from 6pm to 8am; he was not toileted during this time, and there certainly were not "eyes" on him every 2 hours as required. I went to the Nurse Director who stated that she was aware of poor care at night and was going to look into it. Nothing changed. I had my Dad checked for UTI, which was positive. I had PT ordered, and it was PT that found and reported a bed sore to me, not the aides or nurses who should have found the bed sore. Next my Dad's UTI went into pneumonia, sepsis and death Keep your loved ones out of this facility, which sadly seems to be how all of these facilities are operated. They tell you wonderful things that they will do for your family member, but they do not do what they say; rather they say what you want to hear and then totally fail to provide loving, caring, beneficial care. You have to maintain constant oversight and be a constant reminder to the facility and staff by calling, visiting and checking on them daily. Highly recommend you put Ring (or similar) video cameras in your family member's rooms, as it is the only way to help you see what really is happening (and not happening). You have to advocate for them 24/7 or they will be left to manage on their own. This facility does not provide true assisted living or proper human care. We could share a lot more, in detail, of our experiences, but we will leave it to the above for now.

ZERO STARS. DO NOT MOVE YOUR LOVED ONE HERE - ESPECIALLY MEMORY CARE!…read more 1. The repeated lack of integrity and non-existent accountability to execute basic safety requirements, while a family member repeatedly reached out to an entire organization, including upper and executive management with cries for help and documented proof/pictures is appalling. Our mother fell 5 times in 4 days under Senior Star's "care." By the time we saw our mom at the hospital her face, head, and knees were covered in bruises and she had lost her ability to walk. 2. The incompetence of the management team at the Dublin location is staggering. They lack proactiveness, empathy, a desire to provide a positive customer experience, and basic organizational skills. They are so disorganized that they let a stranger walk into our mother's room, dismantle her hospice bed, and drive away with it. For many months in 2022, they completely forgot to give our father (with stroke history) his cholesterol medication. Within 12 months, we reached out to the local ombudsman twice for help. 3. They lean towards medication to solve problems. Staff encouraged more medication for our mother to "improve" behaviors which triggered a downward spiral. After her doctor prescribed medication the third-party company they work with performed an assessment, which recommended MORE medication. Our mother was so overmedicated on all the wrong medications (according to the local geriatric psychiatrist) that she went into psychosis and at 83 years of age had to stay in a psychiatric hospital for two weeks to remove all the medications from her body. 4. They repeatedly told us one thing, in terms of medical care and safety protocols for a high fall-risk resident and did not execute what they said they would do. After a repeated history of this, we decided to install a video camera which showed us a fall mat was not always placed by the bed, no-slip socks were not always worn, the telephone was kept out of reach and our mother crawled to her phone, the bedroom door was kept closed at night, they repeatedly forgot to flatten the hospice bed for proper sleep, kept the TV volume blasting through the night and left the room lights on until a family member would call them at 1 AM asking to turn things off. This went on for months. ADVICE: Do not move your loved one here. Find other places and do your research (especially on the source of those positive Google reviews). Put a video camera in the room and check the credentials of the employees giving medical advice. Periodically scan your loved one's medication list to confirm accurate medication distribution. Just because Senior Star is located in an affluent community, Dublin, Ohio, do not assume they'll offer the best care.

Unfortunately, this location doesn't need another meeting, another pizza party, or another…read moremotivational speech--it needs accountability, competent leadership, and a complete cultural reset. I am a current employee of The Grand of Dublin. For privacy and safety reasons, I will not identify the department I work in. What I will say is this: If my own parent, grandparent, or loved one needed long-term care today, I would NOT choose this facility. That statement alone should speak volumes. Before I address the problems, I want to recognize the people who continue to carry this building on their backs. There are incredible aides, nurses, kitchen staff, Activities, Housekeeping, Maintenance, and other employees who genuinely love these residents and go above and beyond every single day despite being overworked, understaffed, underpaid and unsupported. I would love to recognize each of you by name, but I won't because I don't want anyone to face retaliation. You know who you are, and the residents are fortunate to have you. Now for the hard truth. One of my biggest concerns is Memory Care. These residents deserve dignity, compassion, stimulation, and opportunities to engage with others. Instead, I watched opportunities become increasingly limited,due to them not being allowed to leave their units. The Activities department consistently created meaningful events, and they deserve tremendous credit for bringing joy to residents despite the obstacles placed in front of them. What disturbed me even more was hearing certain employees openly say they "hate" the very residents they are paid to care for. Healthcare is stressful. Everyone has difficult days. But if you've reached the point where you resent the vulnerable people depending on you, it's time to step away from this profession. I also personally observed residents waiting extended periods after using their call lights. That should never become normal. Residents deserve to be treated with urgency, dignity, patience, and respect--not as inconveniences. The building itself is beautiful. Families walking through the front doors will probably be impressed. Unfortunately, a beautiful building means very little if the culture inside it is broken. There is far too much gossip, finger-pointing, favoritism, and unnecessary conflict between departments. Instead of working together, people are often blamed for problems they didn't create while the real issues continue to go unresolved. That doesn't just damage morale--it eventually affects resident care. I also want to acknowledge the kitchen staff because I personally watched them receive unnecessary disrespect while simply trying to do the job they were trained and expected to do. What I could never understand was hearing employees openly say they "HATE" an entire department because they didn't like how certain procedures were being handled. That isn't professionalism--it creates division, destroys teamwork, and ultimately affects resident care. I heard those comments far too often, and no department deserves to be treated that way. Could the food improve? Yes. Could organization improve? Absolutely. Could additional training benefit the kitchen? Of course. But here's the part many people seem to ignore: every single department could benefit from additional training. No department is perfect, and no department should be made the scapegoat for larger operational problems. Respect is not something employees should have to earn based on their job title--it should be the standard. Housekeeping, Dietary, Nursing, Activities, Maintenance, and every other department all play a vital role in caring for residents. When one department is constantly blamed or disrespected, everyone loses--especially the residents. I also witnessed what I perceived to be unequal treatment of some African American employees and employees being encouraged to leave paid 5-star reviews. Fairness cannot be selective, and trust cannot be bought. Respectfully I cannot recommend this facility to anyone looking for a safe, respectful place for their loved one.

My father, who has multiple myeloma (a serious blood and bone cancer), was admitted here for rehab…read more After touring the facility, I felt confident he would receive good care. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Less than a week into his stay, we were told insurance would no longer cover him and he needed to be discharged. I was not properly notified the day of discharge and received a call while at work saying he needed to be picked up. When I arrived, he was extremely weak and clearly not well. I had previously asked staff to check him for a UTI because he was weak and acting confused. I do not know if that was ever done. As I was helping him into my car, he told me he had orange urine and swelling. Staff told me he was "good to go." Within 21 hours of leaving this facility, he was transported by EMS to the hospital and diagnosed with a UTI. Very disappointed in the lack of thorough assessment and discharge planning, especially for someone with cancer and a compromised immune system. Families need to ask questions and closely monitor their loved ones here.

My mom lived here for almost a year…read more She moved here from a private residence. We needed a spot immediately, and I feel the price reflected that need, it was very expensive, maybe unfairly so. I feel they put her in a price point higher and had assessed more care than what she truly needed, and getting that downgraded was more difficult than it needed to be. I feel part of the reason for this was some the forum was in the transition of new ownership which makes things bumpy. When she first arrived was the forum at Knightsbridge and when she left, it was the estates at Knightsbridge? To be honest, I'm not sure what the name of the place actually evolved into everybody still calls at the forum. I have since moved her out of the facility I can say that when she was in their care, her experience was good. She never was treated roughly or had any incidences that I needed to be aware of. The food seems to have gone downhill and I do not like that the assisted living across the street where she lived is not as nice of the public spaces as it is across the street for the independent care that is my biggest ripe of this place the people who need more care and pay higher cost have a lesser aesthetic in their common space and that did irritate me. I'll be up. It irritated me more than my mom. We moved her to a different company/facility not because of care or quality of care but more due to location. I do like that the forum has memory care and skilled nursing. It was a nice place for my mom, but I would explore pricing of other places when you're looking at this place, this place is good but also is expensive comparatively.

We also switched to a facility in Upper Arlington for a 6 or 7 month period during that time. The people at The Forum cared for my Mom in so many ways. They went from being friends to being caretakers during her transition. I could not recommend The Forum highly enough for how they took care of Mom. We moved Mom to the facility in Upper Arlington after she broke her hip. Great physical therapy team and great facilities. But the one thing they lacked was humanity. They didn't care about Mom, just the checks my sisters and I were writing. Back to The Forum. Not the gold standard for facilities, but certainly good enough and they are upgrading constantly, but more than the Gold Standard for the assistance we received and the help from the entire staff. Mom passed a couple of weeks ago. The nurses and hospice people that took care of Mom were in tears. Genuinely. Love this place and you'll be blessed if a family member has to be there.

There is a library, game room, etc. The rooms are nice and homey. There is a "pub," and you can actually get a drink there. The neighborhood is nice, and the grounds are well-kept, plus there is a patio where there are flowers, etc., and you could even garden a bit.
