At Columbus Residence we are committed to providing the highest standard of care in a warm, loving and homelike environment. We support and encourage each resident’s unique personhood and our care services are holistic and wellness oriented as we address the physical, spiritual, emotional, social and educational needs of our residents.

Our Anniversary ~ Celebrating 35 Years!
Columbus Residence is celebrating its 35th year of service to our residents and community this October.
To mark this special occasion, we will be holding a special Anniversary Service & Tea on Wednesday, October 29th. at 2:00 p.m. Family and friends are welcome.
An amazing evening was enjoyed by all who attended our Circle of Care – Reach for the Stars Gala on September 13!
We launched our capital fundraising campaign for the modernization of our elevators. We are still calculating the results and will share the evening’s success soon.
We are very grateful to all who attended, donated, sponsored, and volunteered their time to making the evening such a success! It was just the start as we work towards our goal!
