At Ridgewood at Friendship Village of Columbus, residents can furnish and decorate their private alcoves or one-bedroom suites any way they like with their own personal belongings. They can relax in front of the fireplace in one of the comfortable living rooms, sip coffee on the outdoor terrace or socialize with neighbors in the activity rooms. Abundant resident programs located on a first-floor “Main Street” extend into a two-story connector link that provides access to therapy, wellness and aerobic facilities, an ice cream parlor, village store, bank and computer lab. In addition, family and friends are always welcome and are an important part of the lifestyle at Ridgewood.

Licensed professionals provide friendly, personalized attention tailored to residents’ needs. The facility also offers respite care, i.e., short-term assistance for those caring for a loved one in their home. In addition, a separate neighborhood (Ridgewood Terrace) offers specialized care and unique services for individuals with memory-related disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
