The Forum at Brookside was great. I liked the people better. The facility was maybe not quite as new and not quite as nice as the other one my mom stayed at, but the people were accessible. It was easy to stay in touch with them. You could always get somebody to answer the phone. They seemed concerned to share information with me that was critical. The food seemed fine and the room was nice.

The Forum at Brookside is great and fits the needs of the people who live there. It's convenient and offers a lot of services. The staff is great and the services are plentiful. The food and dining room are great. My mom's room is very nice, clean, and homey.

The Forum at Brookside was a very nice place. They have a lot of scheduled activities. It's built with a center which is very wide open and nice for group activities, and from that, there are areas going off of it for the apartments. They have a studio apartment which includes a full kitchen with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, and washer and dryer. It was an impressive place. We talked to one of the ladies who are there and she's completely happy with the food. The people I met were very nice. The rooms even have nice views and they have little balconies that are protected. They have windows that open into a common areas in the middle and it's one of these branches that went out, kind of like fingers. There's a grassy area between those fingers and walking areas and benches to sit down on.

I am very pleased with The Forum. They are well staffed, knowledgeable, and friendly. They listen and take care of my mother’s needs. They do what the family articulates to them. It is a very nice facility that encourages the residents to socialize as far as they can. They have a lot of activities and encourage interaction. She is very limited as to what she can participate in, but there are a lot of activities for them. She had a birthday last week, and I inquired if family members can assemble and bring a cake and so on and so forth. They set up a room, decorated it with banners and had birthday activities. They are extremely accommodating and go above and beyond the call. It is a multi-level senior living facility. They have patio homes where people can live independently and just have maid service if they desire or go to a dining room and eat. They have about five different levels of care. It is a great facility.

This is a wonderful neighborhood of friendly, caring, people, both staff and residents are very kind to my wife who has no memory from her 9 year bout with Alzheimer's. I feel more comfortable here, than I would if she was in an Alzheimer's facility.

The Forum has everything. They have rehab, assisted living, and even independent living as well. They did not have any openings, but their reputation is stellar. The rooms were OK.

I was impressed with The Forum at Brookside. They were probably the best facility that we have in the city. They had very nice rooms and apartments, but they were more costly than the other places. The dining room set up was very nice. They had group activities for people, and they provide transportation for the residents. The staff was very helpful.

The Forum was wonderful. I couldn't find any negative thing about it. They seemed to be excellent. It was clean, well run, and secured, and the clients that we saw seemed to be driving and happy. We ate dinner there, and they were very gracious. My brother and his wife went with me, and we thought the apartments were nice. They had a lot of activities, and that was one of the good things that we were looking for. They had an indoor pool, and they had water aerobics.

The Forum at Brookiside was very nice. It was larger, and the walking distance from the room to the dining room is what turned me off on that one; that was the only drawback. They do have a swimming pool, patio homes, a lot of acres, and a lot of land.

My dad is in a facility in Louisville near my sister called The Forum. It’s clean, it feels like a home, it has excellent care, and the staff is very helpful. They have a garden area, and they can watch the ducks. They have a separate group that has an office but it is separate from the phone call helping hands, so we use that group a lot of times to make sure he gets to different place because his Alzheimer is getting worse.
My sister has tried the food, and she has been very happy with the food. It’s in a really nice suburb area, and it’s kind of like a close gated community. There is a guard check when you come in, and then it sort of like a lot of woody grounds on paths that you can you on hiking.

The Forum is 2 blocks from where I live. The staff is very wonderful. The food is good. They provide transportation, 3 meals a day. They have coupons so if my parents don't eat there one night, we can go another night and eat with them free. They have the largest floor space of any facility in Louisville on their apartments. The apartments are very nice-sized so they don't feel cramped. My parents love it. They're very happy.
The rooms are extremely large. They're in an apartment but they also have villas. It's more like an apartment building than an institution. Their bathroom has safety bars and emergency cords. The activities are just wonderful. There is always something going on. The best features are the space, the rooms, the square footage of the apartments and the amenities. They have an indoor swimming pool. It's just very nice.

The Forum at Brookside was recommended by Caring.com. I visited the place, since I was looking in the area for a facility for my mom. The staff were very nice to me. I liked the fact that there were independent homes and apartments. I saw both the rooms in the house and the apartments. The rooms were adequate, and definitely nice and clean. Although, I thought it needed to be updated. The dining room was very pretty; unfortunately, I was not able to sample the food. I thought a lot of the activities were centered around the meal times. The residents appeared content and happy. However, there was no progression in the event that her needs of care progressed. And that was one of the things I wanted available. Nonetheless, I really liked the independent apartment homes, and I would definitely recommend the facility to other people.

The place is wonderful, as a matter of fact, it's everything I would ever want because of the way they do things and . The residents don't just sit in the wheelchair and I wouldn't want my mom just seated in the wheelchair. I like the way the staff treat the people that lived there. They have a section where they have people that can get around; an assisted living area, and then there is a section for dementia and Alzheimer's. The staff were more than helpful and more than caring. The staff that showed us around is very detail-oriented. They showed us around the facility and the activities they do on certain days a week. They have different room setups like a sewing room and for the men they have a tool room and a workshop room. We had breakfast there and the food was wonderful. The facility is clean. The whole place was just fresh, warm, and caring. They give one on one level of care. Depending on what your situation is they have specialist that worked with you on that particular group. The rooms have handicapped showers and handicapped bed. It's just so nice. The residents in the dementia unit were monitored. I felt comfortable with the staff.
