There is no pressure to be someone other than yourself

I have lived at The Forum at Brookside nearly five years and am pleased to offer this facility a rating of A+. The accommodations here are pleasant and well maintained by the experienced and conscientious staff. Eating in our dining room is a pleasure not only because of the excellent food choices but also because of the jovial atmosphere and conversations among fellow residents. We have fun and enjoy one another’s company. Our activity directors and professional staff are very friendly and provide many opportunities for exercise, entertainment and socializing. I am pleased that everyone’s unique temperament and interests are respected which allows each of us to be as sociable or private as she or he wishes. One activity I especially enjoy is taking frequent walks around our well-maintained 40 acre campus. It is a rare treat to be able to live on such a beautiful plot of land with a brook flowing through the property - all within the city.

I am in the Personal Care area and have a great experience. The food is so good with lots of variety. But the best is the staff- from nurses, support staff, dietary and even maintenance. Everyone is very friendly and attentive- truly have been at The Forum so long that they are like family. I heartily recommend!!!

It is a great place. It is independent living and we have been reminded of that in situations when I expected her to have some help. The meals are good. Since it is independent living, there isn't communication with the family. I recommend it if the senior can't take care of a house but is functional on their own.

The Forum at Brookside, Louisville, KY

This is really a great place. Great food, extraordinary amenities, 40 acre campus, well manicured. So many activities that you have to choose what you want to do. Very friendly, very helpful staff and residents. For what you pay, you get a bargain. I looked at 10 places and this was by the less expensive and all of their costs are "up front". No surprises, or add ons. If you complain, they give you the benefit of the doubt, and make it right, even if you might be at fault. Because it is off the highway, hidden on a hill, it is quite. You can lease a villa, or an apartment. The Forum is negotiable to a certain extent on move in prices. They have people to help you through the process until you get settled. Free Chauffer service to meals at the Forum, Doctors' appointments, grocery, hair dresser, practically anywhere from 8:30 to 3:15 (return).

My dad is a friendly, cordial 86 year old. We were afraid that senior housing would snuff the spark from him. We were wrong....he has gained some much needed weight and is relieved to have healthcare providers in case he needs them.
