My friend is residing in The Forum at Desert Harbor. We liked the way the building was maintained. The residents were friendly, and the activities they provided especially appealed to my friend. The room has very classic lines, it kinda takes from the Spanish decor with plenty of light, well-lit, and very spacious. They have regular concerts in the afternoon, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they take a bus for some kind of shopping experience. My friend gave up his truck, so they provide transportation within ten miles for him to his doctor's appointments and his speech therapy appointments. That's very helpful, and it's a beautiful car driven by a very nice man. Every night after dinner, they play some kind of card game and there's usually a blackjack game during the day, a lot of things he likes over there. There's a beautiful lake right there at the back fence and he loves walking along the lake. I think also that it was a very good value. I liked that the staff were not patronizing. They treated the residents like the grown adults that they are. The only thing I didn't like was you'd have to go through the dining room to get to the elevator. And that is secure, but not easy to do. It's easy to drive to, it's close to the freeways.

We moved in August of 2021, We are happy and comfortable in our new home. If we would rate the Forum on a scale of 1-10, it would be a 9 plus. To be sure, there will always be room for some improvements. The friendly staff, interesting programs and services offered , improvements and up keep of the facility, good food are all positives. Also this facility is on a beautiful lake. Boat rides are available. The Forum is a wonderful Independent home , it is a safe place, you should check it out, if you are interested.

I used to live in The Forum at Desert Harbor that is in Peoria. I was in the independent living area. It was excellent. The staff was wonderful, and all the people working there were just as nice. All I needed was a one-bedroom. That's what I had there, and it was very adequate. They have a swimming pool where they do exercises. They also have a room where they do the regular exercises and it was fine. I can't say anything bad about them at all. The food was also excellent; they had a good chef.
They had wonderful people who came in to sing and perform. We also had the opportunity to go to the symphony in downtown Phoenix, and all kinds of other things. For the price I paid, I got my money's worth.

My relatives have lived at the Forum for several years and have enjoyed it until recently. However, since the pandemic services have been cut, access to common areas restricted, and complimentary buffet breakfasts eliminated. Further, the quality of the food that is served has degraded to the point that my relatives say it has become inedible. Some of the changes that have taken place are understandable in order to keep the residents and staff safe (though there is no reason for the food quality to have degraded so badly), but my relatives pay a premium monthly rent and expect comfortable living conditions. Given that the living conditions at the Forum have degraded markedly, management should be offering residents a discount during the duration of this health crisis. Instead, the Forum has had the audacity to notify residents that their rents will soon be increased. If my relatives were able to move they would. For those who have a choice I recommend looking elsewhere.

The Forum at Desert Harbor was nice, but too expensive, and the people living there were pretty snooty. The apartment they showed me was ground level and the view I would get would be the parking lot, but I'd be charged the same amount as somebody with a decent view. The staff was extremely friendly. The meal we had was decent. The food service and the girl who took us around were very good.

The Forum at Desert Harbor has a lot of activities, and the people seem nice. The staff is very good and informative. I will be getting a nice, large one-bedroom apartment there; it's very expensive. They have trips to museums and theater, concerts, and standard activities. They have a movie theater on the premises, a big storage room outside, and each floor has laundry facilities. The person in charge of transportation and the admissions coordinator are very helpful. The lunch we had was very good. The dining area was lovely and had tablecloths on every table. This was the best place out of the ones I looked at.

A lot of the assisted living at The Forum at Desert Harbor was just a bedroom with a tiny little kitchen area. I like to have a little more room than that, so that's one reason I stayed in my current community because I like my apartment. I thought the community was attractive and just had one-bedrooms available. They seemed to have larger bedrooms at the independent living. I have some friends who live there, and they tell me they're always happy with the food. The staff was very friendly and personable.

I moved into The Forum at Desert Harbor last year. The apartment is very good and cleaned once a week along with the linens and sheets. We don't have problems. The entertainment here is excellent, and they keep us busy. They have a regular menu, and there's enough choices here, so there's no way you won't have something you like. Once in a while we have entertainment outside, like barbeques, bands, and a luau just a month ago.

The Forum is old but nice. We had a tour and saw a few nice apartments. The girl who gave us the tour was very nice. I thought the price was reasonable, the food was delicious, and the dining room was beautiful. However, the location was not for us, and the rooms interested us the least.

The Forum at Dessert Harbor was very high up on my list. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The whole place was just gorgeous, very nice, and almost like a hotel resort. They built it so it's out of the traffic area, so it's very quiet.

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.

My mother-in-law was at The Forum at Desert Harbor for a year and a half. I thought the food was excellent. I would say it’s good restaurant food. In independent living, they offer either lunch or dinner with your rent, and if you want additional meals, it’s $10 which is very reasonable because you’re getting fruit salad, your meal, your dessert, and your coffee. The room is more like a resort, and the dining room is excellent. It has a view of the lake, and it’s really nice. They have white linen table cloths and people wait on you.

I liked The Forum the best. It had a lake and was absolutely beautiful. The staff was lovely and went above and beyond. We were looking for a two-bedroom/two-baths and it would have fit our needs if one was available on the ground floor, but I have a service dog, so we couldn't go above ground level. It was the best place. Everything about it was just lovely. If you can afford to live in a place like that, that would be the place to go.

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.

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.
