The Forum at Brookside

Making the decision to place a parent in an assisted living facility is a daunting and frightening task. We all have some pre conceived idea of what's going on. However, from the first phone call to the moment we walked in the front door we had a great experience. Our questions were answered thoroughly with patience and kindness. The staff and residents were warm and out going and made it a point to stop and say hello and many introduced themselves with a warm welcome to boot. The facilities are bright and open and well maintained. The grounds are more like a resort than you would expect at an assisted living facility. When we asked our family member and perspective resident what she thought, her answer pretty much is the best recommendation I can think of. She said, "I feel comfortable and safe here already".

What do we enjoy about life at the Forum? Well there are always the meals (both quality and variety); Saturday conversation; Friday Forums; trips; the friendly staff; the friendly residents. We tell people that when visiting various facilities to make note of the noise level during meals. Conversation levels at Forum’s dining room make it a very noisy room. What that tells us is that the Forum residents enjoy their time here. In other words residents call it home and wish to share their feelings with others.

I have lived at the Forum for 5 years now and I really love living here. The staff is very friendly and helpful, from the administration to the drivers, the maintenance staff, the housekeeping staff, the kitchen staff and everyone here. The buildings and grounds are very well kept a the food is excellent. I would recommend it as a wonderful place to live.

My mother has been at the Forum for over 7 years - in the Villas and now at Ambassador Suites. I cannot say enough about the high quality of food, activities and now, the healthcare. The staff at Ambassador Suites is compassionate, caring and professional. They are attentive to my mother's needs and keep her involved with many meaningful activities. I would happily recommend Ambassador Suites to any of my friends whose parents may be looking for an assisted living facility.

My mother, in her 90s, moved into the Forum about a year ago. Although she was reluctant to leave her home, she is now much happier at the Forum where she has daily companionship, excellent care, and no worries about caring for her house. The staff members are fabulous; they truly care about their residents. The food is very good and individual requests are honored. (Thanks Jerry!) The apartments and grounds are well cared for. Our family feels so fortunate to have the Forum.
