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.

Skilled nursing rehab is in a separate building. The expectation was that my mom would be there a few weeks to build her strength so she could use her walker again. My mom was in a room with a roommate who sat at a table the entire time my mom was there. My mom was taking pain meds every 3 hours. She missed her meds and after an hour she was told the order was just placed with the pharmacist. It wasn't placed when she arrived. My mother, father, and brother thought the room was small and not clean. My mom discharged herself within 3 hours. When I mentioned this experience to someone at my book club she said she was there for a short time. She agreed the room was small for two people and said her roommate kept waking up at 4am and walked around the room. She did not say anything negative or positive about the care she received.

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.

Because of the one great RN named Dawn, she should get five stars. So, that's a total of two stars for the rest of the place. For the price we pay, this place should have better aids and provide more attention vice leaving them to exist in their rooms to sit in filth.

Disclaimer: FVD is a client of mine and I help them with PR and marketing. That said, I've spent a…read moreton of time here in the past two years and I literally call this my happy place. If my aging parents lived in this state, there's nothing that would give me greater happiness and peace of mind than seeing them retire to FVD. Imagine a super cool college campus with great people, fun activities and awesome food - but NO job, responsibilities or stress whatsoever. That's what retirement living at FVD is like. You move in young, healthy and spry in your 60s and basically have the time of your life. As you get older, additional care and support is there when you need it. The new expansion they're doing, while obviously causing a bit of construction noise/mess now, is going to be AMAZING once it's complete. The Health Center (nursing home) side is wonderful too, once the time comes for that level of care. The people are great - both residents and staff. I love this place and I'm so glad I get to work with the team and residents as part of my day job!

Dont count on them to help you after you retire. They push retirees to a Medicare Advantage plan…read morebecaue it has no cost to STRS. If you want to pay for a supplement, its very difficult to get them to accept that you do not want an advantage plan. And if you are dropping or changing coverage, good luck! They will do nothing to help you. They claim to send benefit letters that never arrive until it is too late to make changes. Im still waiting for a letter that was sent on 2/15/26. As a result, I was droppen from a Medicare drug plan and have to pay another $2,100 out of pocket. As an agent that signs people up for Medicare part D plans, you would expect the government to ensure they are giving decent direction, but we received none. This is a pathetic organization to work with once you retire. Especially if you do not sign up for a Medicare Choice Plan.

I was lucky enough to be introduced to Miriam. She was knowledgeable, patient and incredibly helpful when helping me find a place for my parents. My mother was moved into nursing care at a facility to recover from surgery and then almost immediately covid hit. This was unfortunaty nefore we could move my father into the assisted living wing. Because of covid my parents were not able to see each other for months. My father was not doing well without seeing my mom. I decided it wasn't working and we needed to figure our a better place for them. Miriam stepped back in and helped me find an almost brand new care facility that because of its high vacancy rate was able to accomodate my parents seeing each other daily. They have been married almost 50 years and this was a quality of life issue for them. They have been in Smith's Mill for about a year and a half and receive excellent care there. I would 100% recommend Miriam to anyone with elderly parents looking to find them daily help.
