Review for The Forum at Brookside

Mom has been there barely a month and she has made a couple of friends (not easy for her, others would get a bunch of friends by now), the dining experience is way above anything we have experienced. In fact, at the Forum we love joining mom for meals, while at her previous place we found it unappealing. The overall environment is uplifting and happy.

Friendly,well managed neighborhood!!

The Forum is not only welcoming -its full of wonderful well manicured green spaces. The staff is supportive and kind and their kitchen serves top quality meals that would satisfy the most demanding diner. A variety of activities are included. My sweet pup and I are grateful we can call this. HOME !

Easy Transition!

The Forum makes the transition to independent living so easy for the residents and their family members! Almost immediately my parents were participating in all kinds of activities and events and continue to tell me how nice everyone is. I’ve joined them for dinner and found the atmosphere and food quite enjoyable.

There is no pressure to be someone other than yourself

I have lived at The Forum at Brookside nearly five years and am pleased to offer this facility a rating of A+. The accommodations here are pleasant and well maintained by the experienced and conscientious staff. Eating in our dining room is a pleasure not only because of the excellent food choices but also because of the jovial atmosphere and conversations among fellow residents. We have fun and enjoy one another’s company. Our activity directors and professional staff are very friendly and provide many opportunities for exercise, entertainment and socializing. I am pleased that everyone’s unique temperament and interests are respected which allows each of us to be as sociable or private as she or he wishes. One activity I especially enjoy is taking frequent walks around our well-maintained 40 acre campus. It is a rare treat to be able to live on such a beautiful plot of land with a brook flowing through the property - all within the city.

An excellent second home

I’ve been able to former activities going and have been very pleased with the results. The relationship between the residents and staff is warm and friendly. The food is so good that I’m having to watch my weight! One this that is the best about the Forum is the staff, they have our needs at heart.

So happy here!!!

I am in the Personal Care area and have a great experience. The food is so good with lots of variety. But the best is the staff- from nurses, support staff, dietary and even maintenance. Everyone is very friendly and attentive- truly have been at The Forum so long that they are like family. I heartily recommend!!!

It is a great place. It is independent living and we have been reminded of that in situations when I expected her to have some help. The meals are good. Since it is independent living, there isn't communication with the family. I recommend it if the senior can't take care of a house but is functional on their own.

Just like Home

We picked this community, because of the setting, the grounds and the layou. It's a great place, a lot to do, friendly people and the staff is attentive. I would definitely recommend to other families.

The Forum- an affordable step in assisted living

The sales and transitions department were very helpful. They worked to make it a smooth process. There are lots of activities to keep busy. I would recommend to other families. I would recommend to other families.

Friendly, patient staff

Things have gone very well so far at The Forum at Brookside. The facility itself is well kept and clean, and I think they've done a great job working with my loved one. The staff have been very patient and kind, and really dedicated to making sure she gets settled in and comfortable.

The Forum at Brookside, Louisville, KY

This is really a great place. Great food, extraordinary amenities, 40 acre campus, well manicured. So many activities that you have to choose what you want to do. Very friendly, very helpful staff and residents. For what you pay, you get a bargain. I looked at 10 places and this was by the less expensive and all of their costs are "up front". No surprises, or add ons. If you complain, they give you the benefit of the doubt, and make it right, even if you might be at fault. Because it is off the highway, hidden on a hill, it is quite. You can lease a villa, or an apartment. The Forum is negotiable to a certain extent on move in prices. They have people to help you through the process until you get settled. Free Chauffer service to meals at the Forum, Doctors' appointments, grocery, hair dresser, practically anywhere from 8:30 to 3:15 (return).

my dad is blossoming and ejoying meals

My dad is a friendly, cordial 86 year old. We were afraid that senior housing would snuff the spark from him. We were wrong....he has gained some much needed weight and is relieved to have healthcare providers in case he needs them.
