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.

My mother has been here (Independent Living) almost two weeks and we are already totally impressed with the friendly staff, residents and family of residents. From moving day on my mom has had people introducing themselves and offering to show her the ropes. I met several family members of residents that have gone out of their way to be welcoming and have nothing but positive things to say about this place and staff. My mom couldn't be happier with her one bedroom apartment. She comments on how much more space than she expected when she downsized from her apartment. She lost her husband just over a year ago and has had some tough times. She continually tells everyone how much happier she is now and what a great decision this was; even though she had doubts in the weeks leading up to the move. Thank you so much to everyone at Claremont for making her life so much better.

Great environment for independent living - the one bedroom apartment was the perfect size for my mother-in-law. She made lots of friends and enjoyed the scheduled activities and mealtimes in the dining room.

Claremont Retirement Village was where my stepfather lived the last few years of his life. While he resisted leaving his longtime home, in his heart of hearts he knew that he could no longer care for himself and his home. He lived in the Independent Living area and grew to love his spacious apartment. Even with his profound hearing loss he enjoyed the camaraderie of the many friends he made. One of the last activities in which he participated was the Veteran recognition program that was held on Veterans Day. While a humble man, he really enjoyed and appreciated the recognition. The excellent caring staff put my mind at ease knowing that if he fell he would be swiftly helped. After his death I was so touched by the many expressions of sympathy that I received from the staff and the residents alike. If you need a caring, comfortable, and reasonably priced home for your aging loved ones, there is no finer choice than Claremont Retirement Village!
