Testimonials About
Danbury Columbus

He was comfortable and in good spirits until the very end. Danbury took great care of him and did a wonderful job. Almost all the staff was very friendly and caring. The other residents were also mostly very friendly. The food was ok, but nothing special. The activities were fun. The size of his 1 bedroom apartment was adequate. Response times for calls for help could sometimes be longer than desired. Cleanliness was mostly adequate but could sometimes have been better.

In discovering Danbury Senior Living Columbus, we didn’t just find a place for Mom – we found THE place! Since moving in three months ago, the boost in Mom’s happiness, health, and engagement has been amazing to witness. The transition was seamless, and the environment is so vibrant. Between weekly Tai Chi and bingo, offsite excursions, and a host of other activities, she is constantly on the go! She especially loves the chef-prepared meals (particularly the desserts!) and the social energy of the community. The Danbury team is wonderful and they genuinely care about the residents ‘living their best lives’, which gives our family incredible peace of mind. It has been a fabulous experience from day one, and we highly recommend Danbury Columbus to any family looking for a place where their loved one(s) can genuinely flourish.

Mom is settling in. Really likes the food. Took 2 or 3 weeks to get her on a shower schedule. After a week with no shower had to go and insist but they now have her on a regular schedule. Overall she is happy, just a bit of a rough start. All the staff have been helpful.

Nickolas O'Brien has been nothing but wonderful through the process of a transfer from a SNF to AL. The communication has been great and such a smooth transition for this family. Thank you again and I am so happy to know our resident will be in good hands. Amherst Meadows Massillon, Ohio

My husband has been in the Danbury Memory Care unit for nearly a year. I have a very high regard for the people who work at Danbury. They are caring, compassionate, and give individualized care. I have watched them with my husband and with so many others and I witness beautiful moments every day. It is not an easy job to care for those with dementia and other issues. The aides and nurses work very hard and sometimes that work is very challenging, physically and emotionally. I appreciate the various activities, like "Arm Chair Travel" in the theater and the incomparable Scott Steelman leading us in song once a month. The food is very good, the housekeeping is fine and I am blessed that my life partner is so well-cared for. The facility is attractive and they keep it nicely decorated throughout the year. The atmosphere, run mostly by women, is upbeat and pleasant. There are several attractive common rooms where friends and family can gather and/or eat together. There is a hair salon with a mostly-retired (excellent) stylist who does a great job on my husband's hair and beard, very reasonably priced. I took care of my husband for many years and then, when my health and well-being were at risk, I did a lot of research and made a really good decision to go with Danbury on Snouffer Road in north Columbus.

Just some hiccups with scheduling tours and assessments. They are very responsive to providing information and answering questions.

The staff at Danbury is very kind and caring. The facility is very clean but I wish they cleaned my mother's apartment daily. I realize that may not be feasible. Overall we like Danbury very much. It's a very nice clean facility and knowing that they check on my mom at least every 2 hours and make sure she's showered and fed regularly was appreciated. They also offered us a fixed rate regardless of my mom's care needs.

They keep everything and always if there is it get fixed.

The people (girl and women) are very helpful when you need it. (food a visit help find my things that are fun to do and when to do help with you or with other people. There is always something to do trips. Party by the girls or a quiet place to read.

Just like being here. We have a lovely 2 bedroom apt 2 baths. Food is pretty food care is wonderful. "Nothing is bed" [name removed]

Quality of Care: (Misplaced Mom's Medication a few times, borrowed meds from other resident's prescriptions), Administrative Staff: (Constant Billing Issues and disorganization in Accounting Office, failure to return calls, etc), Food: (Not a lot of alternative options for Diabetics. Lots of the Same thing). We would absolutely recommend Danbury Columbus to other families based on the experience.

Awesome kindness of everyone we saw. Kim was especially kind and helpful. The residents interacted and all seemed happy.

I only have experience with the memory care unit, The Orchard. The physical facility is good, comfortable and in good repair. The staff genuinely care about the residents.

This is a women-run operation. Everyone is very caring, working hard to meet the needs of each person in Memory Care the best they can. I can rest assured that my husband is treated with kindness and respect and is given excellent medical care.

All in all we really liked the facility and felt like she was well cared for. Hospice was there everyday too so it was sometimes tricky to differentiate who was doing the care but I did see some staff going above and beyond, putting lotion on her and fixing her hair before taking her out to dinner. The move in was great, because it was so quick, they were able to provide a lot of the furniture until we would get our own. Unfortunately, she went downhill pretty fast so she was only there about three weeks before passing and didn't participate in much, but when she was in the hospital, I was constantly on edge and advocating for her, and when she moved to Danbury, I felt like I could finally breathe a sigh of relief because at least there were people there who seem to care. The only critique I have is, it was a bit of a pain getting in touch with someone in billing and getting everything wrapped up after she passed but nothing too crazy and once I did talk to them, it was done, no back and forth or unfair charges.
