Platinum Communities - Larson House offers assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite care for older adults, with staff on site all the time for safety and support, providing personal help like medication monitoring, bathing, dressing, and managing diabetes or incontinence. The community is licensed by the state and has staff trained for specialized memory care, with a secure setting for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the living spaces are designed to make life easier to navigate, with walk-in showers, large closets, and rooms that look out over a golf course or courtyard with flower boxes. Residents can choose from roomy one- or two-bedroom suites or semi-private rooms, each with full kitchenettes so they can keep some independence, and there's an option for wheelchair-accessible showers.
The staff can help with things like VA benefits and other cost assistance programs, with payment options including check and credit card, and the pricing is all-inclusive, which makes it easier to plan. Meals are cooked from scratch three times a day in the dining room to encourage socializing, and the meals can follow special diets like heart-healthy or vegetarian, with menus planned by a food service director and a dietician. Residents can worship on-site or go to offsite services, and there's support for spiritual counseling as well. An on-site activity director plans daily events and social activities, including offsite trips around Columbus, and the common areas-indoors and outdoors-give folks places to relax, exercise, and visit together. Pets are allowed, though cats and dogs must weigh less than 30 pounds.
Larson House provides housekeeping, personal laundry, and linens service, and there's a beauty salon and barber shop on site for haircuts. There's also transportation available, whether scheduled or for special outings, and resident parking for those who drive. Amenities include arts and crafts rooms, Wi-Fi access in common spaces, and kitchenette features like full-size refrigerators and microwaves. Staff offer medication management, visiting physician and psychiatric services, diabetic care, and hospice care if needed, plus skilled nursing and therapy services through outside providers. Personalized care plans get updated when needs change, and the whole setup tries to help residents stay as active and independent as they can, with a focus on dignity, comfort, and a safe environment.
