Lots of great activities offered. Both physical and spiritual, we have a great recreation Director. Apartment sizes and layouts are excellent. Our apartment has a dining area as well, but I have seen the other sizes and they are great. I absolutely recommend Discovery Village at The Forum to those looking for retirement living.

Before settling at [removed], I had the chance to visit Discovery Village at the Forum, and I must admit, I was really pleased. There was a welcome environment and kind smiles as soon as I stepped in. I felt at home immediately away because of the staff's extreme friendliness and knowledge. I was astounded by the community's general cleanliness and attention to detail when we took a tour of it. The apartments had lovely décor, contemporary conveniences, and were roomy and well-maintained. I was very impressed by the abundance of services and activities available to the inhabitants. There appeared to be something for everyone, from salon services and fine dining to exercise courses and social gatherings.

Discovery Village at The Forum seemed like a really good choice - they gave us a great tour experience. The people were all great. The activities that they had provided for the residents were PHENOMONAL. For us it came down to the location. It is in the middle of a lot of new construction and traffic. This would have added a lot of time to her drive if she wanted to come visit us or if we wanted to visit her. That was the only downfall.
It's a great place. They offer art activities, card playing, birthday parties for residents, exercising, etc. Right now we are going through a kitchen staffing change and we are provided a buffet style for meals. It just depends on the meals, some are buffet and some are served by servers. Currently the dining situation is not that great. I love my apartment, I got a 2 bedroom apartment and we love it.

I would say to keep looking at other communities. They have activities like group meetings and more for the residents to do to stay busy. The staff work hard but at this time they are short handed and the service is not adequate.

Beautiful facility. Everyone is very friendly. Usually they have sit down dining but they moved to buffet style dining. Not necessarily an everyday thing. Every time my loved one needs something done in her room, maintenance is really good about getting on top of anything she requests.

We chose Discovery village because at the time we were able to get a deal on the price and the washer and dryer were included in each apartment. They do have a lot of apartment sizes to choose from, I have the second biggest of the 2 bedroom and it is good for what I need. I think they could use better cuts of meat on the meals. Sometimes I do not know what I am eating. Overall, it is a nice place and I am pleased.
