Our Family's Experience

Overall experience is very positive. The initial meetings and showings were fantastic. Registering my mom was also great. Staff was incredibly helpful in finding a space and pricing that worked for our budget. While, the total experience of Columbus Estates has been 5-star, the only challenge I continually face is reaching someone in the billing dept. She never seems to be available and that gets frustrating. My bill is rarely the same amount each month by about $[removed].

Pros: The grounds are well-kept. The staff is responsive. The staff is friendly Cons: The food is mediocre. The activities need more creative options. The safety in the outer units needs to be improved...higher fencing, for example, to keep out the homeless. Also need better window coverage to prevent people looking right in.

#1 IT WAS A VERY LONG WALK FROM OUR ROOM TO THE DINING AREA. THREE TIMES A DAY GOT to be too much. #2. Sandwiches for dinner too many days a week. #3. Tables were sticky most of the time and food remained uncleaned under the tables. #4 neighbors dogs in the hallways very often. #5. We were downstairs and people always walked their dogs right across our patio and potted right on the walls. #6. Parking was a serious problem we couldn't walk that hill all the time. #7. Before we moved in, I asked about a 30 day notice to move. We were told no notice just move and leave the keys now we've moved back home and are told we had a 90 day lease agreement. They lied to us right upfront.

[name removed] was so helpful and kind. It really was a great tour. The facility was amazing and the one bedroom apartment had everything you needed. It was just an all-around great tour of the facility. I can’t think of anything else that was needed in a facility or an apartment.

Columbus Estates was incredibly amazing in price-point, flexibility, and accommodations. It is PERFECT for my mom. She loves it and has even participated in the activities, which i didn't think she'd do.

Review for Columbus Estates

The staff here is eager to make Columbus Estates the best senior housing around and the listen very well to requests and concerns and always get back to me in a timely manner with a solution or suggestion. I love living here. The people are great. There are lots of amenities, although I can't partake in those as I'm bedbound if there ever comes a time that I can, believe me, I will. They have such a wide variety of things for residents to do. Here is only one thing I would like for myself I know they have dogs and puppies that come to visit. I would like for someone to bring a cat to my room now and then to love on I love cats and mine passed away the week before I moved in here and I really miss her. I know it takes a lot of manpower to do what they do here and what I'm asking may not be possible but if it is, I would sure love it.

Our experience

My dad had a good experience at Columbus Estates. Only complaint would be the strict dinner time when he was there. He had a good experience but just needed a bigger dinner window due to memory issues.

Price is right. Living here is okay if you don't mind the food and boredom. Room is large for a studio.

Food is terrible. The food isn't very good. Not enough activities for a blind person. It's not great but better than living with family. Takes too long to get meal and doesn't allow him to go to the exercise class.

Seamless transition

The lady that runs the place, her name escapes me, was so kind and helpful with information. She helped to get my dad in seamlessly. My dad enjoys playing pool with a lady he's been "dating". Haha. He enjoys the food and the company of others. He really enjoys flirting with all of the ladies. Haha!

Cleanliness of facility is very good. Staff mostly friendly and seems like activities are plentiful and appropriate. The dining experience is just okay. Food not consistently good just average or below average. Long wait for single elevator to get to and from dining room. The ambassadors who are supposed to be friendly and introduce new people and befriend them don't really do that.

A perfect fit for Dad too!!

I am so thankful for the guidance from A place for Mom in finding the best fit fir my dad! From the office staff to the kitchen staff I have found everyone to be helpful - they jump in and help one another. I have appreciated their patience as we worked thru the transition into Independent Living.

Beautiful Community and Peace of Mind

This was a very nice community. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The staff communication with the family, they are responsive with our questions and requests. There are three meals served a day and the residents have choices to choose from. There is housekeeping included. There is a kitchenette in the apartment. There are villas available that have full kitchens in them.

I would recommend

Everybody here is awesome, when I first moved in the people here did not let me be alone - they would come sit with me in the dining hall and within the first two weeks I already knew the names of a handful of residents. The staff have been so welcoming and are just totally awesome. They always know what you want, what kind of foods you like and aere just overall wonderful people. I never expected anything like this when I moved in. The house keeping is great, they help change my sheets. Even though we do not have a pool we have some darn good nice people

The gentleman we spoke with at Holiday Columbus Estates was very friendly and helpful. But I didn't like that the facility was right off of a very busy street. Also I thought the inside needed a little bit of a facelift / updating.
