Westerwood

The charming, vibrant Life Care community Westerwood provides Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care, and Skilled Nursing Care on a stunning 23-acre campus steps away from a certified nature reserve in Columbus, Ohio, only minutes from downtown Westerville. Westerwood is a thriving community where residents 60 and older can create new friends and find opportunities to thrive and grow, enjoying the highest quality of life possible.

When additional specialty care is required, it is reassuring knowing that residents have access to full-time Skilled Nursing and On-site Rehabilitation Center. After illness, surgery, or hospitalization, residents can recover close to home with minimal disruption. And when they return home, we can assist them with everything, allowing them to recover and feel better more quickly.

Main Street is a single, easily navigable corridor connecting our community’s neighborhoods. There is bank access, a coffee and soda shop, a library, a computer center, a salon, a general store, a fitness center, an art studio, a woodworking shop, and billiard rooms on Main Street. With nature walking trails, resort-style amenities, a multitude of on-site activities, supportive services, and everything else imaginable only steps away, seniors can easily interact with other residents and participate in activities.
