Interactions with the staff (minus 2 nurses), The nurses did not show patience or compassion, very abrupt in conversations with myself and needed me to hire an aid to stay with my mom when I was not even allowed to visit her. When I was able to visit her because hospice had come in and told them it was compassion care, I let them know when I was coming, the person at the door did not know I was coming had to find the director to get more information, them I had to wait for another nurse to get me checked in. I was only allowed to stay for 30 minutes.

Forum At Deer Creek is one of my choices. It is very nice and well kept. There are several different styles of apartments whether you want a one-bedroom or a two-bedroom. The apartments are nice and adequate. The people are very nice and friendly. The staff member who assisted me was very nice. They have a nice fitness center, which is adequate. However, they did not have as much bridge as I would like.

Forum At Deer Creek is a very nice and upscale place. My mom is in a clean and nice quad room where there are four beds. They have bingo, an Elvis impersonator, and they play cards. They also have a lady selling jewelry and a pool for the residents. They also have a library and a lot of places to sit, and an atrium with plants. It's a really pretty place. The staff is nice and polite, but they're not very helpful or informed with what steps need to be taken, like they don't guide you very well. That's the one complaint I have.

I'm very impressed with The Forum at Deer Creek. I would like to get in there, but there's a waiting list. We visited someone's apartment and it was very nice. That's exactly what we want. We had dinner there and it was very nice. I did not have too much to do with the staff at that time because I was with the sales director.

We were not very pleased with how The Forum at Deer Creek was kept. We walked around a bit and saw that their areas were not well kept, so we didn’t stay for our appointment. I don’t think we would have chosen this place.

The Forum at Deer Creek was very nice. The people were very friendly. The facility itself was very nice, but I did not see as much activity with the residents. The apartments were spacious. They were very nice, but the one they had available, there was no view of anything but the parking lot. I didn't really care for that, because my father was coming from a place that had a beautiful water view. The room itself was very nice, but I just did not like a view of the parking lot.

They have very small apartments at The Forum at Deer Creek. The place looked beautiful on the outside. They have a very nice garden to walk in, and their grounds are nicely maintained.

The Forum was nice. They had activities. The issue that my dad had was that most of the population was already wheelchair bound and not a very active population. That was a problem for my dad because he was very active. The staff was very nice, very knowledgeable, very friendly, very helpful, and caring. The place was very clean. However, there were not as many live performers or activities.

A friend lives in The Forum. I did see her yesterday there. It is a beautiful place. She lives up on the 7th floor and she has a one-bedroom apartment but it is expensive. Still, this is a beautiful place. They have lots of entertainment. They have bingo every Monday and Wednesday. As a matter of fact I go there tonight to play bingo. They also have a nice pool, exercise machines, a salon to do your hair and nails, etc. They also have a therapy place. They have a place where you can just gather together and a room for people who play cards or whatever. Everyday they have a social thing from 3 p.m. onwards where they can go there and drink and have hors d'oeuvres. It is a beautiful place, it really is.

Our mom and dad were married for 62 years before my mom passed away. After she passed our family helped dad as much as we could. We did a good job, but as the years went by he grew to be very lonely. We knew we had to move him into a place where he could be around his own peers. The Forum was recommended to us by friends whose parents live there. How lucky were we that Dad agreed to take the tour. After we toured the Forum, my dad said "When can I move in?" The Administration and staff was so kind and supportive, answering all our questions. They were all understanding, and anticipated our needs. There was a 3 month waiting list into the Independent Living apts., which gave us time to sell his home and organize the move. My dad moved into the Independent Living a year ago. Since then he has made good friends, is involved in many activities, and absolutely loves living at the Forum. He tells us frequently "that on a scale of 100, the Forum is 8,467!" We are thankful our dad is doing so well and is happy. The support staff is so friendly. They treat dad like he is family. We visit regularly, and the residents are always out and about involved in their chosen activities. From time to time we have dinner with dad in the dining room, and the food is good, the dining staff is welcoming and the residents are happily chatting away. My dad has found his new home and a happy second chapter of his life at the Forum!

I visited this facility plenty of times to help out. I mostly helped with the activities like Bingo days, movie afternoons, reading to patients, etc. Before starting volunteer work, I recieved a tour of the facility by the staff. The staff were all very friendly but sometimes the nurses were too busy gossiping. Most of the nurses are also from other countries so sometimes the elderly have a hard time understanding them. Most of the people there are just getting out of the hospital and use it as a place to stay after. Some of them stay a very long time and end up passing away at the facility. I think the place was kept clean and the art on the walls were nice. There are always ways to keep entertained there and the elderly people living there seem happy. If I had to send a family member to an assisted living place, it would be The Forum.

I was impressed with The Forum at Deer Creek compared to the other facilities I visited as the property itself was beautiful and the medical services impressive. The facility used to be a Marriott Hotel so the whole look of the place is very holiday like and cheerful. There are two sides to this facility. One is for the Assisted Living side and the other is for the Independent Living side. They are separated by a large pool with Palm Trees. Both sides look over a lake. My father-in-law has two rooms, one is the living room and kitchen and the other room is his bedroom. He has two bathrooms. One bathroom has a shower while the second bathroom "shower" was renovated into a closet. He has a microwave, coffee pot, fridge and sink. He has room for a sofa and a kitchen table and chairs and has two large windows overlooking tropical Florida foliage. The nurses are kind and very experienced and he was able to settle in very easily.

Everything is wonderful there. We had a little bit interaction with the residents and they're all very nice. They seemed like happy people. The staff was very much helpful and accommodating. They gave us cookies there and it tasted good. That was very welcoming! They have field trips, card games, lectures from different colleges that come in there. The living room is also very inviting so it's one of those places my mom should be happy with.
