Everything is just beautiful! It’s such a comfortable place to live; all of the staff is so kind and really takes care of my needs. I just love it!

On July 10 2016 I will be starting my second year as a resident at Abbington. Having been an active person at church and in senior organizations, I had adjustments to make. The activity and therapy programs at Abbington were most helpful. Abbington is a nice place to live.

Abbington has certainly been good for me. I can sure see and feel the improvement in my health!

My wife and I chose Abbington because of the willingness that the staff showed to go the extra mile to ensure that all of our basic necessities were covered. This enabled a smooth transition and has helped equip me in understanding the better care that Woody needed as he transitioned into assisted living. I truly appreciate the amount of professionalism that the staff shows and the genuine care they show for Woody. The staff provides a personal touch to an already difficult situation and it brings peace to both Woody and I.

The transition was very smooth. The facility went over and above expectations.

Move in day was better than we could have ever dreamed and mom loves it. She had a rough first few weeks but everyone helped us get through it. I don’t see how the staff could have possibly done any better. Expectations were exceeded!

My mother has had a wonderful experience at Abbington for the past five years. The staff in general has treated my mom with the utmost care and dignity. My mother has made some of the following comments: “they treat me like I’m their grandma,” “they are a real angel,” or when they walk out of her room she will say “they are the best.”

I am really impressed with how well Jennifer (Executive Director) knows and cares about the residents. Since I live so close to Abbington, I stop by a lot and see her actively involved. I could not ask for a better place for my mom and am so thankful when I was looking for assisted living that I chose Abbington for her.

Felt welcomed and cared for immediately. It is a beautiful facility with caring staff, a peaceful environment and outdoor space available.

Everyone was very sensitive to the fact that mom was scared, in a new place and feeling insecure. The staff was very warm and welcoming which helped tremendously.

Welcoming environment, caring and competent. I’m glad my mom and I have found a good home! The staff interaction and activities have increased mom’s socialization and comfort.

Heather has been such a big help to me since my mom’s health has started to decline. She takes the time to chat with me about my concerns. Recently, my mom had a health issue. Chene called me right away, gave me a detailed account and since I was out of town for the day she made sure I was kept informed. When I got back that evening, I stopped over at Abbington at 10:00. Chene went over everything with me and seemed happy to do it.

The staff is wonderful and helpful. The facility is kept spotless and clean. The residents are all happy and content and I find that so important! The food is excellent and always served on time. The activities are well planned and always enjoyable. I would never hesitate to recommend Abbington to friends and family in need of a loving, caring place for their elderly loved ones.

The caregivers are very helpful and always available when needed. The nurses are well trained and the kitchen works very hard to provide good food and substitutions when needed due to allergies and dislikes. The director is always available to speak with people and works hard to keep all the residents content and happy living here.

I’ve been so blessed to have my mom at Abbington. Tammie is an exceptional woman that works during the day at Abbington, and I’ve known her from day one. She has always enjoyed helping my mom through the years and it has always been great to see her! Brittany is a great joy to everyone. She is always upbeat, and smiling all the time. I believe she can walk into a room and her joyful personality alone could help change a bad day for the folks there. I always tell my wife that if she ever feels the need to have a place take care of me once I get too old and need assisted living, she better be sending me to Abbington! 🙂 !

I must say that when I first met with Jennifer (Executive Director) regarding the possibility of locating my dad at Abbington, I felt like she was presenting me with a ‘home that could meet his needs’. I felt no pressure to make a decision or that she was simply running a business to meet her financial budget needs or to ‘fill the house’. She presented herself as confident and with a real love for her job and knowledge of how to run it to make it ‘home’.

Everything was ready, clean and the entire staff was ready and responsive to meet our needs during move in. The activities director did an outstanding job to help Pam assimilate to her new surroundings.

I appreciate the dedication of all of the staff but would especially like to recognize the nurse Amber, who thought that my mother should be seen in the ER and thus may have saved her life; Jennifer who rushed over late at night to oversee my mom’s transfer to the emergency room and stayed until the wee hours of the morning until she knew she was being admitted to the hospital and not returning to the facility at that time; Brenda who plans such wonderful activities for the residents, and Brittany who is so always so cheerful and caring.

Although I live close, I’m not there to experience all the great care that I know my mom gets at Abbington. Heather has been such a blessing through the years. She has always been quick to shoot out an email to me when there is something I need to be aware of and I’m very appreciative about that. We have become friends over the years and discussed our family life so she makes me feel as though I’m part of her life and belong in the Abbington family.

Jennifer (Executive Director) responds promptly to any concerns or questions I’ve had regarding the facility and/or my dad. Her follow up or taking care of the concern or question can be counted on. Her warm and genuine personality along with her obvious concern for her residents is very evident. Not only does this apply to her residents, but their families as well.

As I think about my experience here at Abbington of Pickerington all I can say is “Thank you!” There are staff members here that have been instrumental in my stay. Leaving my home has been really hard and some days I miss it a great deal and have had to rely on the wonderful memories that my family and I shared there. The little things like staff stopping by for a quick visits, receiving a wonderful shower, staff being proactive with the tasks I need help with and even catching my cat when she got out of my room are just a few examples of what I have grown to enjoy. I know Abbington was a great choice!

On the second day here I said to one of my friends, “This is home!” and that was 1 ½ years ago. Reading in the newspapers about abuse, thefts, or bad care given to people in nursing homes and yes, even in assisted living can scare a person. Here at Abbington you do not have any of this.From the administrator, nurses, aides, cooks, or housekeepers, It is entirely the opposite… And it’s wonderful that even people on Medicaid can live here. I know this a wonderful home as I personally worked in 2 homes in the past. This is my home!

I have been very pleased with this organization. Everyone is very pleasant, understanding as well as willing to help the residents. The buildings are very well set up for people to get around comfortably even with wheelchairs or walkers.

Mom says they treat her like a queen! The staff has been great and that has made the transition go very well. They’ve made everything so much easier overall.

The transition has been great! She loves the facility and people here.

The staff made Terry feel welcome and helped to acclimate her to her new environment and routine!

The transition went better than I could have imagined. She’s eating very well, which is a big change. She interacts a lot with friends and participates in activities.
