And we’re just getting started.
Westerwood has been a highly respected nonprofit, senior living, and health care provider for more than 43 years. A lot has happened since we were founded in 1978. Take a look back at some highlights from the four decades that have followed:
The first gardeners and landscape designers planted trees, shrubs, and flowers.
The Residents’ Association was formed so residents could work side-by-side with the administration to meet the needs and concerns of the community.
Residents published the first issue of The Village Highlights, a newsletter that has gradually grown to include original stories and memories.
The groundbreaking for Ridgewood Assisted Living took place (now Westerwood Assisted Living).
Resident leaders became very involved in community decisions, including the design and development of Friendship Woods.
Multimillion-dollar renovations were made to our community, including our first-floor assisted living wing, exterior painting, and an interior refresh.
The elegant monthly first-Sunday brunch begins.
Pets welcomed to our community.
Friendship Village Columbus changes its name to Westerwood to better appeal to today’s modern elder.
Westerwood undergoes renovations to create new Garden Cottage homes and a host of new lifestyle amenities.
