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.

My mom lived at the Forum for around 7 years. She transitioned from Independent Living to Memory…read moreCare during that time. 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.

My wife is in this rehab while being treated for cancer and though I have nothing but praise for…read moremost of the staff at Westminster Thurber, I was appalled at the temperature conditions in her room overlooking Neil Avenue. 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.

When my husband and I were looking for an independent living community, we researched extensively…read moreand found everything we wanted at the newest building (Heritage Pointe) at Ohio Living Westminster-Thurber: 1) A well-educated, well-read, well-traveled, interesting (and fun!) community of residents 2) An abundant selection of diverse activities and quality educational opportunities 3) A stunning apartment with floor-to-ceiling views, tons of storage and open living space with high-end finishes 4) A caring staff who enjoys their work 5) Peace of mind: OLWT is a nonprofit organization that commits to caring for their residents for life, regardless of physical, mental, or financial situations. 6) My husband and I have taken advantage of many services here on campus: the on-site OSU clinic, awesome physical therapists, wonderful audiologist, excellent podiatrist, and so much more. To sum it up: It was scary to make this move but we've lived here six months and are happy to report our expectations have been exceeded.

This is not a shiny "chandelier-in-the-lobby" kind of retirement place -- and that's a good thing!…read moreClaremont has been around for a while. But, that's one reason Claremont feels like home. Claremont is worth considering if you know your loved one would prefer a clean, comfortable, lived-in home over a sterile, corporate-run facility. The apartments are well-designed (with bonus attic storage!) and you have flexibility in how to decorate and arrange, plus a private screened patio. One-floor living means it's always easy to get around even if you use a walker or wheels. You can keep a small pet, which can be a great relief for seniors who fear losing their companions. The staff is welcoming and supportive, and many of them have worked at Claremont for many years. That's great for employees and even better for residents and their families; you really get to know the people who are taking care of your loved one. My father moved in six months ago; he was of course nervous about making such a big change, but as soon as we walked into Claremont and had lunch with some residents, nervousness turned to excitement. My dad has had more fun times (and made more friends) in the past six months in Claremont than he ever did living alone for the ten previous years. If and when my dad needs a higher level of care, there is Continuity of Care at Claremont so he can move from Independent to Assisted to Memory Care. I'm so happy he's at Claremont.

Great facility. Employees actually seem like they care about the residences. The food is very…read moregood and the common areas are clean and well kept.
