Retirement Communities
Saving for retirement all those years hasn't been easy. Once you get there, one decision can be the most challenging and important: Where will you live out your golden years? That's where Columbus C.E.O.'s list of more than 55 senior living communities can help. We've organized a host of options into a convenient package for your perusal.
For some, staying independent is essential. That's why many facilities offer apartments and patio homes, along with plenty to keep the average resident busy. Communities include everything from fitness centers with personal trainers to movie theaters and scheduled daily activities.
There are plenty of facilities with more security, too, offering the extra help you or your loved ones might need. Thirty of our listed communities are staffed with at least one doctor, and several staffs include nurses, therapists, dentists, podiatrists and other professionals. Levels of support vary, too, including Alzheimer's and memory care units.
Even if your budget is tight, you don't have to sacrifice. Our list includes options in all price ranges, so that you can find the best fit for you.
