My wife and I have chosen The Forum at Brookside but we haven't made plans of moving. We have toured the place and we just liked the atmosphere of it, the whole aspect of the cleanliness, we felt that it was modern, and just because of the amenities they provide. We just felt that they matched our needs and desires. We looked at their independent living. We just thought we liked the totality of all of it. They have a library, exercise with the indoor swimming pool, and also accommodations for taking you shopping and to your doctors. We liked the ease that if you were in a villa or an apartment and you couldn't get out, they would bring your meals to you. We liked the layout of the facilities on the property. It's got a good walking area and a very attractive one too. We liked the scenery around there and the privacy of it.

I like The Forum at Brookside very much. I will be moving there. It's very large, upscale, and nice. It looked absolutely lovely. It's on 40 acres. I'm going to be moving into a patio home, and they have a big apartment building as well. It's independent living, assisted living, and a nursing home, so you move from one stage to another. The food looked very good. They gave lunch to prospective people that was absolutely delicious and very upscale. The staff member was lovely and has been there for 12 years, the chef has been there for 11 years, and the manager just retired after 30 years. Everybody was very nice and very accommodating.

My father loves The Forum at Brookside. It's perfect. His needs are met. His room is pretty and he feels very comfortable there. It's convenient. They have concerts, travelogues, classes like churches of the ancient world, a Derby Dinner group comes in and entertains them, pianists and cello players come in, there's bingo, book clubs, and pinochle. The food is delicious and he loves it. He's eating better there than he has in a while. It's a pretty facility.

I lived at The Forum for almost four years now, and I really liked it here. I’m very pleased, it’s priced right, the food is outstanding, and the staff is really great. It has villas, apartments, and areas for nursing home and for assisted living. I have a studio apartment, everything is really great, they have tremendous service, and really good activities. We have an indoor swimming pool, and the price is all-in, but not many people know it, because it’s way off the highway. The property is probably 30 years old, but I wouldn’t live anywhere else; it’s perfect.

The Forum at Brookside is a very pretty place, and the food was good. I visited one of their cottages, and the rooms are so small that I felt I had claustrophobia. They have almost everything, and they have church services in the facility and a lot of activities.

We are leaning toward The Forum because they have continuing care, did not require an upfront deposit, and have separate cottages available. Aside from the usual activities, they have bridge and current affairs discussions.

The Forum was a total community. They had a lot of trips for people. They had party room, and I thought it was good. It was the nicest facility prior to all that we saw. It was more wide open. The detriment was that a lot of their facilities were out of the main buildings -- a lot of condos. So in bad weather, that would be a problem in getting to the main facility. It was the only drawback to it. I ate there, and the food was really good. All the dining areas were separated by itself with four chairs and a table. They were very nicely done. It had a more community atmosphere than the others that we saw. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful when you asked questions.

The staff that showed us around The Forum at Brookside were all nice. It's a beautiful place -- a lot bigger than most -- but it costs a lot more there too. The rooms were really spacious. We didn't like the dining room because you have to go outside to get there. I think they need to have it where you don't have to go outside to get to it.
