Independent living on a 23-acre wooded campus.

We like to say that “our campus is your canvas” because we offer so many amenities, opportunities, and life-enriching experiences. Here, you can create a life you’ll love. As an independent living resident, you’ll be free from the many time-consuming responsibilities of homeownership, so you can finally pursue your interests on a campus full of possibilities and supportive services.

For many, moving to Westerwood allows them to prioritize their health and well-being. For others, it is a chance to explore their creativity or indulge their love of lifelong learning through Otterbein University. Others simply like living just steps away from a wooded nature preserve.

What will your reason be for choosing Westerwood?

Transportation

One. Friendly. Place.

A typical first impression visitors have is the authentic friendliness of our residents and staff. While we recently changed our name from Friendship Village Columbus to Westerwood, that friendly vibe we’re renowned for continues. People really do seem friendlier here—but why?

Maybe it’s all the beautiful scenic nature that surrounds us?
Maybe it’s because our residents are encouraged to play an active role in community decisions and programs?
Maybe it’s because we’ve been voted the best place to work for more than five years running by Columbus CEO Magazine?
Maybe it’s all those wonderful amenities, activities, and arts programs?
Maybe it’s the terrific, chef-crafted meals made fresh daily?
Maybe it’s because our Director of Plant Operations worked for major hotels and believes in delivering concierge-quality services and hospitality?
Maybe it’s the peace of mind a Life Care community offers with a full continuum of care if you ever need it?
