Esther's Place Columbus, OH

Esther's Place is a residential care home in North Columbus offering assisted living and memory care in a house-based setting rather than a large facility. The home serves up to a small number of residents on a two-and-a-half-acre lot surrounded by other residential homes. Staff are on-premises 24 hours a day. The facility is a non-profit organization with all-inclusive rates.

The home provides private bedrooms, some with en-suite bathrooms, along with staff-prepared meals (residents may participate in meal preparation if desired), laundry, housekeeping, and help with daily tasks. Transportation to medical appointments and assistance with indoor and outdoor activities are available. Therapeutic services including hospice, skilled nursing, and home health care can be arranged through outside agencies. Each bedroom has cable television and telephone hookup. The building has gas heat and whole-house air conditioning, is wheelchair accessible, and includes storage space.

Esther's Place was founded by Esther Pyle's daughter, who purchased and remodeled a ranch home to create a residential setting where her mother and others could receive care while maintaining independence. The home is located about 10 minutes from downtown Columbus, near Routes 171 and 161, and close to restaurants, shopping, parks, and Riverside and Mt. Carmel Hospitals.
