Villas of Scioto

I know a senior lady living there, so I have seen the inside I don't know what type of home they consider them, apartment? townhouse? or half of double? anyway, they are very nicely made but not that nice for the price on rent. it's a small quiet gated senior living community

They've been really accommodating. My friend has an adult son with Down's Syndrome who we were looking to place as well, and they allowed him to stay with her for a short while until we were able to place him. And that interim period of them being open to him staying there temporarily was really important to us. We really appreciated that. I want to give credit to the move-in coordinator - she was the one who really made everything such a positive experience for us. My friend absolutely loves her apartment, and she doesn't even miss her house. She's very happy here.

This is a wonderful place for seniors who want to live independently. My mom who 74 yrs old & can still do for herself and get around loves her new home! The gated condo community is just beautiful & the neighbors are so friendly! The grounds are always kept in clean & well manicured condition. They mow the lawns & have trash pick up. Each condo has a "sun/Florida" room which is in the back & leads out to the spacious patios. There are windows galore so there is ample natural lighting to save on one's electric bills. But if someone likes to keep the windows closed there is also lots of great lighting around the condo in every room & ceiling fans to move the heat & air conditioning around. My favorite part is the high ceilings & tons of space for storage! (In my moms unit there is not an attic, but not sure about any other units?) Her unit has a HUGE walk in closet with TONS of room to hang her clothes & also for storage. The kitchen has lots cabinet space on top & below with 3 corner Canet (2 underneath with Lazy Susan swivel to make more room for storage & easy access to items). There is also a dishwasher, microwave, flatop stove with self cleaning oven & very spacious refrigerator (just the perfect size that my mom can actually reach the top without having to use her stool.

I just loved The Villas of Scioto. I love the layout of the home. I like the fact that there were individual homes. You don't feel like you're living in an apartment house somewhere, so you have that independence and privacy. The house itself was nice. It's very spacious, very light, very airy, and there are a lot of high ceilings. They have big rooms, a patio, and a garage. It was so nice, and it was reasonably priced. That's a big thing with these places; they're so ridiculously expensive. I don't have to pay for food because I have my own place. I don't want to sit down in a dining room with all these people I live around and eat mandatorily. I have something called Candida, which is a yeast infection of the intestines so I can't eat flour, no pasta, no bread, and no starchy vegetables like corn, potatoes, and carrots, and the list goes on and on. I can't eat red meat, I can't eat mushrooms, I can't eat vinegar. So, there are so many things that I can't eat because it tears up my stomach. And that was one thing that appealed to me, I could do my own cooking there without paying for something I'm not getting. You're not forced to eat food that you don't want. And I don't want to sit with a bunch of people. I'm young for my age. I think young, I look young, I feel younger, and I do not want to sit in a geriatric ward eating every meal. I know it sounds terrible, but to me, it's just so depressing. The young lady who manages the property was so nice and so helpful and took me around to the place that I was going to look at. She was very, very pleasant and very encouraging. The place is very clean and very nice. The only thing is the neighborhood. I just want a nice, quiet, and peaceful place. Parsons Avenue is a bad neighborhood, and it is right at the perimeter of the property. And mostly you have to drive through those areas if you want to go somewhere, so that's not good, plus the traffic.

We really liked The Villas of Scioto. It's gated. We looked at the two-bedroom unit, and it was very spacious. They had the walk-in shower that we liked for my mom. They even had their own little area that she could sit outside that was kind of serene; it looked out in the country. If she didn't want to cook or anything, she could go up to another area like the assisted living area and eat there or she could have meals delivered down to her. We're just amazed at how spacious it was. If at any point where you needed to downsize to the assisted living, it was right beside it. The staff was exceptional. In fact, we had gotten lost and she had to go out of her way to walk down to a gate to let us in. My sisters and I went plus my great nephew, and he accidentally had left one of his toys. We called her and she went out of her way to walk over to get the toy to make sure it got back to us. They were very nice.
