The Forum at Desert Harbor

I thought The Forum was a nice facility. They had nice lake views which was something we would consider, but the units were so small. The person that gave us the tour answered every question. He was a pleasure to deal with. He went out of his way to show us more.

The Forum at Desert Harbor was nice, but it just wasn’t what we were looking for. Everything was enclosed in a big building; you go up in an elevator to different floors, so when you come out of your little apartment, you’re in a hallway, not outside on your own little patio. The rooms were very nice. We didn’t really meet anybody, but the woman who showed us around was very friendly. They had absolutely nothing that would interest my dad. It was not something that appealed to us, but that doesn’t mean it was bad.

When my dad passed away 2 years ago, my brother and I took my mom here to see if she'd like living there. We all Took the tour and mom said ok. She could no longer drive and to keep up a home and being alone was not an option. We moved mom in and the people here are just wonderful. They have a huge dining room and always have something for the residents to do. Mom was very happy in her new apartment. She had a view of the lake from her 3rd floor patio, could walk all over, which she's always loved doing, talk endlessly with the people she'd met. Mimalways raved about the food and it was fantastic.The best part was it's only 10 minutes from me and I could pop in no matter what time. If I ever have to live in a retirement center, this is the place I would go no hesitating, question's nothing, just sign me up.

We like the food. They have a lake and the view is beautiful. The Forum is just amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They got nice rooms and apartments. It isn't the most up-to-date kitchen, but everything else is nice, clean, and very fresh. They have a workout facility, a walkway around the lake which was one of the reasons we chose it, and they have a putt and green. My father moved in today.

The Forum at Desert Harbor is very nice, but it is not where we want to be. The staff is very nice, and it is a beautiful place, but I don't think it is what we want. It is too much like an apartment house. As for activities, I don't think we really saw that many. I know they have some, but I don't remember them now.

The independent side of The Forum at Desert Harbor was absolutely fantastic. It was beautiful, like a very well-appointed hotel room, and the food was fantastic. They put my mother into a guest suite, and she was loving it. The night she fell, they whisked her out of there and put her onto the assisted living side.

The Forum at Desert Harbor would have been a perfect fit for mom if she had changed her mind and decided that she wanted to stay with family. The staff was excellent, and there were all kinds of activities. They had boat rides she could do, and she could even have a visitor come since they had special rooms where the visitors could stay. There were chances to have family come and eat there with her. There were all kinds of activities for socializing and for entertainment. It was a great place. It was very clean and very friendly.

The Forum at Desert Harbor was on a little lake and for people that were independent, they had an outdoor pool and that was attractive. I had lunch at the assisted living and it was all right. The staff was very nice and helpful. I looked at that again for independent living. It was a continuing place. If you started out there, then they would see you right through the end of your life without increasing the rate very much. It had more than one building, but it wasn't a huge place and it was all together. They were also not far or just a few minutes from Boswell Hospital, which was a very good hospital where there were a lot of good doctors. There was also a medical clinic which was just down the street.

The Forum at Desert Harbor is an exquisite facility and so very well located. But we could not access it as easily as we could although it was a little better for her mother. The staff was good, on-time, and we know how they function. The rooms themselves were adequate for what we need, and they’re not unlike other ones. Mostly facilities of that type are pretty much the same the level of care giving.

In March of this year, I moved my aunt who is 91 years old into the assisted area of The Forum. From day one to this day, I have been nothing but satisfied with the community. I am completely satisfied from the staff to the rooms. The staff especially is amazing. I went to see my aunt everyday for two and a half months. Now, I visit her three to four times a week. That is why I'm very familiar with the community and its staff. I sit and have lunch with my aunt. I even play bingo with her. I also take her out sometimes. They have fashion shows there. They also have live music every Friday. I am glad that I am part of the activities there. From the very beginning, it has been a wonderful experience with The Forum at Desert Harbor. It is a wonderful place to live in.

I was very impressed with the Forum, and at the time I looked at their assisted living quarters. Now my mom would be going to a different side. The area that I saw, I was very impressed with. I really liked it. Very clean. The staff was terrific, because they helped me with another agency to do in-home. I can't say enough about them and that whole place. If I had my way, and we had the funds, that's a place I would consider strongly. It's a large community. The room was perfect for her; it was small. It was close to the restaurant, and had all the guards and stuff like that that she would need for showering.

We visited The Forum at Desert Harbor because it was close and available. The whole place was big and suitable for what we would have needed. It was really nice, but I didn't have that kind of money. The staff were really nice, but I didn't think they knew all of what they were talking about. They showed us the assisted living wing, but I was more interested in the independent living wing. The dining rooms looked nice, but I was not able to try the food.

We were able to visit The Forum at Desert Harbor and it was okay on the independent side, I didn’t really care for the memory side. The room that we saw, I wasn’t too pleased with it, but I think they didn’t do very good job cleaning it out from the last person that was there. The whole facility was okay, but it didn’t really strike me one way or the other.
