“I have lived here for 12 years and I really enjoy it. I especially appreciate the transportation services to medical appointments. Bob Haver is a wonderful and patient driver for the residents. We just had our 4th annual vintage car show, which is one of our many events that the residents enjoy.”

“This is the perfect place for me! I enjoy watching the changing seasons from my balcony. The staff is awesome, helpful and happy. The residents are interesting and involved. There are so many activities: weekly coffee and chat, chair volleyball, book clubs, a workshop, monthly Ladies Lunch Bunch and a men's gathering lunch, education lectures, balance classes, dancing, a very active art group, Bible study, movies ….to name only a few. I appreciate a heated garage, weekly housekeeping, delicious and nutritious meals and being able to call maintenance when an appliance needs attention. This is a welcoming community and a wonderful place to call "home". .”
– Priscilla Meeks

“We chose to move into First Community Village for the following reasons : 1. First Community Village is considered one of the premier retirement centers and is under the ownership of the National Church Residences which headquarters are in Upper Arlington. 2. No more pulling trash containers to the curb, yard work or snow removal responsibilities. 3. Accessible transportation in very nice vans. Centrally located to all Columbus areas and close to RT 670. 4. There is a daily variety of activities and programs to choose from. 5. Beautiful landscape surrounded with hundred year old trees and safe paved walkways covering over 3 miles 6. Don’t feel like cooking—just walk to the dining room serving excellent food with a changing menu and nightly special. 7. A state of the art Wellness Center and fitness facilities. 8. You have easy access to friends old and new. Just open your door. 9. Knowing we have continuous health care regardless of our future health needs. 10 We have done our family a favor: we made the decision to move in because we wanted to rather than we had to. 11. We are simplifying our lives. We are remaining in our neighborhood. We have peace of mind.”
– Jeanne Schoedinger.
“A beautiful campus with lots of fun activities for the residents. Our children appreciate knowing that we are safe and getting all of the help we need. We made the right decision by moving from our house to an apartment in the Fairfax.”
– Marilyn Dilley
“First Community Village is a wonderful facility, staffed by loving and caring people. I have been impressed with the level of attention that not only each resident receives, but also the family members. Everyone seems to truly care about each family’s situation and tries very hard to be accommodating and understanding. We are very happy with the care at The Roxbury. The facility is beautiful with lots of activities to engage the residents. They welcome visits any time of the day, and are always willing to answer questions. They really know the residents and families, and that means a lot.”
– Linda Delano
“We have lived in one of the Manor Homes for 3 years and just love it! The food is excellent and we have met wonderful new friends here. This is a place that banishes loneliness for older people. There are so many activities, outings, movies, and special events to enjoy. And if light bulbs go out or something breaks, you just call maintenance! What could be better?”
– Susan Altan
““Our experience at FCV has been overwhelmingly positive as we transitioned our parents from independent living to full-time residents in the community. From preparing the Manor Home to be both safe and comfortable for our parents’ style and needs, to establishing support systems and helping them acclimate to the community, the FCV team has been helpful, caring, and supportive throughout the entire process.””
– Austin Barger
