Review for The Forum at Town Center

I have been happy here. The staff are super friendly.Food ranges from good to very good. Always lots of choices and plentiful. I don't partake in activities by choice. But I have recently started exercise classes and love the instructors here. I appreciate the transportation to medical appointments as I don't drive. Also, the location is great as I am in walking distance of stores including a good sized mall. If there is one thing to improve, it would be housekeeping services.

A good community with some areas for improvement.

The apartment is roomy and comfortable. Pets are allowed. Good variety of activities. He likes the pool for exercise. Dad does not like the dining. It is often closed due to shortage of wait staff. He has to go get his meal in a bag and take the food to his room. He says it takes a long time when dining hall is open. He has not like choices on menu much of the time, especially the fact that they seldom serve beef, he feels portions and choices are more geared to women's taste.

Over all a good experience.

Staff was nice however a few staff members would get too involved with my mom and even give her their personal cell number . My mom was having some attitude and mental issues and would tell the staff things that were not accurate and instead of coming to me they would try to help her with personal manors.

Lots of Smiles and New Friends

The staff work well together and care about the residents. The CEO, [name removed], however, does not get along well with either staff or residents. She tries to run the facility like an autocrat, so the residents are forced to take care of each other when the facility could have been involved. There is a very positive atmosphere which prevails. People make positive remarks, smile and greet one another in the hall, and help each other out. The hot tub was useful as a way to reduce pain. The food preparation/organization is excellent.

28 Months and Going Strong

Moved here sight unseen from out of state in December 2021. I learned about it through A Place For Mom. It was a tough adjustment, but my family had worked with the staff to make the move as easy as possible. I am really happy I chose The Forum, due to the quality of the food, the caring staff, and the feeling of community here. The pool was a big plus for me and there are plenty of opportunities to get and stay strong. They go out of their way to provide many opportunities for learning, worship, and fun. After talking to people who moved from other facilities, I am so glad I chose The Forum, as I feel I am getting good value for my money.

I have lived here for 9 years. The atmosphere is if friendship, learning, experiencing, listening and activity. The food is delicious, the number of activities and excursions is exceptional. If a resident has an idea of something new to do, the staff makes it happen. Spacious rooms and lovely setting.

Our Experience

My loved one was previously a resident at The Forum. It was very very expensive, about an average of 8% yearly rent increases. The food was not good. Staffing didn't care. Maintenance was okay. The facility is worn and old and needs new carpet, paint. Smells bad in the hallways. The 2 bedroom that my loved one had was nice, but we had to pay for new flooring and to have it painted before she moved in.

This is the best place for seniors. We are treated well, listened to, and kept as busy as we can be. We have a huge variety of activities. The staff are kind and helpful. We go on outings. We are taken to Dr. appts and shopping. If one is bore dhere, it's not for lack of their trying. And the food is great.

Would Recommend - Overall Good Experience

They have some very positive pluses: I have a full kitchen and a washer/dryer in my apartment. I don't know how I would function if I did not have those two items. On the negative side: there's no garbage disposal or dishwasher, although some of the apartments have those at an extra cost. I'm just doing the best I can within the parameters of my budget. My apartment is roomy and cheerful. And they shampooed the carpets, completely repainted, and had it all ready for me when I moved in. Maintenance is quite slow though. And there seems to be some short-staffing issues in several departments. However, when I imagine how little their profit margin must be, that's understandable. And my rent did not go up. So I think they're doing the best they can with what they have to deal with.

Our tour experience

Our family had an in person tour and we absolutely loved The Forum, and we were so disappointed when our loved one wasn't going to be able to move there because of how progressive her health was at the time. It is so nice with great big accommodations. Everything was just fabulous we would highly highly recommend this community to others. There were tons of activities, our loved one even on the tour participated in the exercise class. The Forum just feels like home.

There were certain aspects that were good. I liked their accessibility to different things. My loved one also knew people that lived there already. But the facility is a bit dated. They did a great job on follow-up even after we selected a place. They would call me on a regular basis to check up.

I would recommend

We chose The Forum at Town Center because of the size of the apartments as well as the amenities that are provided within the apartments and the price was good. My dad said the food is ok, but he doesn't not rave about it. The staff members are very aware and attentive to each residents needs. I would recommend them to others who are looking.

A Wonderful Place to Stay? No!

Due to the bug I would say not to come to this community. They've cut down on activities that there is hardly anything for us to do. The food isn't good. I'm sorry I'm here. They are allowing us to eat in the dining room again. The room is too small for me, and has a tiny kitchenette.

Family feel

Although established years ago, The Forum at Town Center gives a person that "family feel" when entering the community. It is a "love worn" community with lots of heart, soul and smiles. The residents and staff are very friendly and helpful, and it's because of the residents, folks apsire to work here. The community hosts both Independent Living (IL) and Assisted Living (AL). Normally a very social and active community, this has halted a bit because of our world pandemic. Slowly, events and activities are beginning to surface, but with new rules, as they wish to remain a Covid-free community and want to continue to keep their residents and staff safe. So much love and compassion in this community. Check them out for yourself.
