Who We Are & Where We Came From

Best Days Senior Living is a Class 2 residential care home in Pickerington, Ohio specializing in full-time care for seniors living with varying degrees of dementia and mental health challenges. Our beautiful 5-bedroom, 6,000-square foot home is nestled on two peaceful acres in a thriving suburb of Columbus. We provide a warm, secure, and home-like environment for residents of all genders ages 53 and up.

Our onsite care providers not only have the best training and certifications, but a passion for helping our residents enjoy their lives and celebrate each day with enthusiasm.

We bought this home and started Best Days Senior Living almost 10 years ago and have loved supporting seniors in our community every day.

Our Mission & Values

Best Days Senior Living is dedicated to providing compassionate care and creating meaningful experiences for seniors. Our mission is to foster “best day” moments where seniors can live their best life every day. Our commitment is to offer families peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are receiving compassionate, individualized care.

We are a great alternative for those who wished they could age at home but need more hands-on care, and don’t want to live in a corporate assisted living facility.

Diversity, Equity,
& Inclusion

Diversity, equity and inclusion are not just things we say, but part of our identity as owners, caregivers, and residents. We value all walks of life and perspectives including gender identity and expression, sexuality, race, ethnicity, citizenship, disability, neurodivergence, age, education, class, religion, veteran status, marital status, family structure, criminal history, employment status, size, health, style, and the intersectionality of any of these identifiers. We hope that our staff and residents continue to reflect these values.

We have been happily married for 30 years and bring over four decades of combined experience in senior care. Yolanda has dedicated 30 years to her career as an Occupational Therapist and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Allied Health from The Ohio State University. Walter has spent 25 years as a Fund Accountant and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management from Ohio Christian University. United by our deep passion for enhancing the quality of life for seniors, we have earned multiple certifications in elderly care, including expert training as Dementia Care Specialists.

Meet The Team

Our team of care providers are the most compassionate and qualified assisted living professionals in Central Ohio. All our staff have the required certifications to care for your loved one but also continue their education and training regularly to ensure we are offering the most innovative care approaches. We also believe in the Consistent Assignment model which means that residents see the same caregivers every time they are on duty. This allows for consistent care and no critical information is lost.

While earning my bachelor’s degree in Business Admin at Franklin University I discovered a deep interest in understanding human behavior and emotional connection. I started working in a nursing home part time while going to school and that passion eventually led me to explore the healthcare field, where I found my calling working with individuals living with health challenges.

While it has not been easy it has been one of the most rewarding paths I could ever have taken. It’s a field that demands patience, compassion, and creativity but it also offers incredible fulfillment. Each day brings the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life, whether by offering comfort, encouraging memory engagement, or simply being a consistent and caring presence.

Transitioning into health allowed me to combine my academic foundation with hands-on caregiving and advocacy. I’ve also gained a deepened empathy and respect for those navigating cognitive decline. The work is challenging but endlessly impactful and it continues to inspire my personal and professional growth.

I’ve been working at Best Days for a number of years now and I would not trade it in. The leadership is absolutely amazing and makes it worthwhile.

I am celebrating 20 years this year as a caregiver in memory care.   I have worked for Best Days Senior Living for just under 2 years and have enjoyed every moment.  I have a friend and past co-worker who I worked with for over ten years, recommended that I come down to Pickerington and look into Best Days Senior Living, where she was working.  I was not happy with staff where I was employed at the time and was considering retiring from care givng.

I first thought my friend was a little out there, since I lived in Delaware, Ohio, 50 miles away.  

I discovered my friend was right.  Best Days has the most experienced staff that I have worked with in 20 years.  I felt great energy the moment I stepped into the house and it hasn’t changed in the time I have worked here.  The residents are happy and have provided me a wonderful place that I have no problem driving the distance for work.  

And as far as the memory care folks that are a part of Best Days, they are some of the most highly functional people with dementia, that I have ever worked with in my 20 years.  It truly is an honor to be a part of the team at Best Days..

Any good organization starts from the top. Yolanda and Ray are some really genuine people who truly care about this business.  I have enjoyed working with both and can tell you they “walk their talk!”  They also know how to treat their employees which the industry needs huge improvements on.  Best Days is worth your time and sometimes the wait if you are looking for a loved one to live.  Come check us out!

I’m glad I listened to a friend’s advice and drove the distance.  Now you owe it to your loved one to come check out Best Days Senior Living.  You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

That sense of belonging means everything to me.

I love my work, and I’m proud to be part of the Best Days family.
