Claremont Retirement Village

Over a period of years, I have had friends at Claremont Retirement Village. I always look forward to visiting Claremont because it is such a welcoming relaxed destination. Also, in the past I have had other friends at other retirement centers around the Columbus area. Overall, the residents at Claremont have been much more pleased with the facility than those at others that are much more expensive. The entire facility is on one floor and there are no inconvenient and unreliable elevators necessary. Each apartment has interior hallway access for the entire facility and each one also has a same-level screened in outdoor patio. There is a sense of community and camaraderie there among the residents. Many of them casually meet in the dining room and play cards, or just sit and chat. The dining room food choices have good variety and good quality. Claremont is not a fancy hotel, but is clean and well maintained. It has a sense of casual comfort and friendly socialization. The staff is very caring and comforting. The dining room service is excellent with very friendly servers who are always available and ready for resident requests. There are always several activities available, usually in the dining room area. These include theme days and musical performances among other attractions. Special services are generally available for such things as physical therapy and hair care, just to name two. Many of the residents have their own automobiles with plenty of parking for residents and visitors. There is a small general store on site along with a postal facility there is good security and areas for assisted living and memory services. The sales staff is knowledgeable, and helpful. I believe the strongest attraction of Claremont is its social resort style atmosphere and the convenience of single level living with screened-in patios for every unit.

I cannot say enough positive things about Claremont Retirement Village.My sister urgently needed to find an alternative to living on her own, and Debi (marketing director) was so instrumental in making a move happen asap. The initial tour was an easy sell: all the residents my sister met were friendly, welcoming, encouraging, and saying how much they enjoyed living there. The staff learned our names right away and greets us by name, offering to help in any way they can. The accommodations are clean, updated, and well-equipped to meet the needs most elderly residents would need. The dining room is a wonderful meeting place, the food is very good and portions are generous, and the cost is incredibly reasonable. The units have a lovely screened in porch for some fresh air, the resident controls the temperature in the apartment (my sister loves to be warm!), and it's very quiet. So many activities to try out (My sister has watched a movie, a football game, enjoyed several outings, met so many new friends, listened to a piano player in the common area). I would highly recommend CRV without hesitation.

They are very helpful, patient, fun and active. Lots of activities. The staff is very helpful. Some meals are very good, some are great,. We are offered 2 main choices a menu that is one you can order from like hotdogs, hamburgers, p&j, small pizza, chef salad, and more. Just have to wait 15 minutes. It is a great value for the price and very reasonably priced.

Mom is having a very good stay. Staff is awesome and the facility has been updating areas and carpeting. Mom is happy, we're all happy with Claremont! First visit staff were so welcoming and residents were also friendly. Also liked that mom had a back screened in patio she could go out and sit on. Decor is not glitzy and fancy.

The staff is very nice and it's very inclusive. Lots of activities. The extra care options are nice and we would recommend Claremont Retirement Village to other families who may need a place for their loved ones
