My mother-in-law has been cared for by Friendship Village for two plus years. She's had a lot of…read moreup and downs in her medical journey but overall she has declined because of age. I've seen the daily routine of care and you can see the aids are in experienced and seem careless at times leaving her for hours of unattended checks on her for bathroom visits. This leads to her room smelling of foul smells. This is the reason local family members for not wanting to see their grandmother. I'd give five stars to of activities department. 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.

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!

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.

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.

I arrived about 445?? pm, was almost an hour before I was even acknowledged in the room. Then it was mostly administrative, no nursing care etc. It was almost 11 pm before I got my evening meds. The room was old and Musty and triggered my asthma cough for 16 days. I asked about any kind of air purifier, they had nothing in their stock and would do nothing to accommodate my concerns. The floor was under construction adding to the chaos of getting patients to and from the dining hall. Food and Physical therapy department were the only positive sides of the facility. I could tell the aids for the permanent residents were very caring and respectful. I had days I never saw my CNA. From a business standpoint I see Wesley Glenn as a high end Independent living / assisted living facility. The skilled nursing floor was added as a way to keep their residents in house during rehab from age related issues, stroke, falls and breaks etc. I got the minimal care I was there for, my IV infusion 3x a day but that was about it. I felt as if I was a transient patient on Medicare. I sent in a letter with my concerns, never expecting any response and I was right. Not even an acknowledgement form letter.

Lots of activities, and chances to get out into the community. The food smelled great as I walked by, and residents seemed happy with it, and with living there. Room sizes vary, and levels of care are adjusted to what you need. Therapy is available, and there are nurses always there, and a doctor most of the time. 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.
