I'm at The Forum at Memorial Woods. The people in the facility look happy, like they enjoy themselves and their community. They have an indoor pool, so you can have physical therapy and water therapy right here where you live. They feed you three meals a day and that's included in the rent. It's better than hospital food. They have games like bingo, dominoes, and Wii bowling on the screen. They take you to Walmart, H-E-B, and Kroger. They have a movie night, a happy hour, and different get-togethers. For new members, once a month we have a party and they meet everybody. I like my room. It seems open because there's a lot of glass. I can see outdoors, the buildings, the sky, the birds, and stuff like that. It is a small studio. The staff members work hard. They're very open to suggestions. I think they need to get a P.A. announcement though, where if something terrible has happened and you need to tell everybody, and you didn't have time in advance to warn them about it, you can have an overhead announcement where everybody can hear all of the things to help us feel more safe. It's wheelchair accessible, but some places were not handicap friendly, like the indoor pool's restroom. I'm on the fourth floor, and when the elevator opens I'd like to see brightness (it's a little dark). The chairs are dark and like they're used up. They need to be refreshed and they need to be brighter because it helps cheer you up.

The forum at memorial woods has been an excellent home to my mother. I am grateful for the front office and all the health care workers who without a doubt have had some intensive training. The communication over the past year during the pandemic has been phenomenal. The protocols put into place to protect the residents was swift and effective. We were all scared and the supervisors communicated with me as much as they possible could as I could not be there.

I'm an artist, and The Forum At Memorial Woods has been very cooperative in helping me to set up an art program here. They are wonderful. They've dedicated two apartments for us to use for the artwork that the students are doing, and I'm teaching classes here. There are also games, like Uno, dominoes, bingo, and a lot of activities. Then we have a happy hour every Friday, which is when a piano player comes in and there's a lot of sing-along stuff going on. We do karaoke once a month and a creative crafts program once a week on Thursdays. We had a very good chef before, but we lost him. So, they are still working on hiring a good chef. The first floor is still in the process of remodeling for now, but I'm sure it'll look good once it's done.

My dad is a resident of the independent living level of The Forum at Memorial Woods. The place is well-appointed, has very nice rooms, and a professional staff. I would say they're the best place for highly social and independent seniors. The food is fine, but they don't always offer healthy options.

The Forum At Memorial Woods feels like every person who works there really sincerely cares about our family. It's not the most beautiful place, but it certainly is the most homey. It feels really good there. All of the staff members are good and I've seen people go out of their way to be kind. They go a long way not only to help the person in rehab, but to help the family as well. We've been able to provide a lot of ancillary care because they have instructed us and we're able to give my dad full time rehab. The food is excellent and their activities are really good. My dad is enjoying meeting all of the people. They have very skilled physical, occupational, and cognitive therapists. All of their therapists are very well qualified in making it challenging yet safe and enjoyable for my father. He never complains and does exactly what the therapists say. He believes in in the therapy, even if at the end of the day he's tired. For the actual rehab part of it, it's five stars. Kevin is the director of all the therapists and he is excellent. Where the place is weak is that they don't have nearly enough CNAs or assistants, so what happens is sometimes there's a 20-minute wait if my dad needs to go to the bathroom. They're very lovely people and it's not that they're ignoring us, it's just that they're understaffed.

I liked the folks at The Forum at Memorial Woods. However, it was too big, so it's hard for them to get to know one another, and the place has older folks specifically. The staff was very friendly, very attentive, and knew one another by name. They're aware of all the residents' issues. It was a little bit more expensive, but it might be because of its location.
