Forum at the Crossing

I became the only caregiver for a relative almost 3 years ago on very short notice. I had helped my aunt and uncle move to The Forum near the end of his life a couple of years previous, and knew the facility to be well managed, clean and accommodating. When faced with the urgent need to get my relative placed somewhere immediately, the manager Rita went above & beyond to accommodate him & his precious little dog. When it shortly became apparent that independent living was not viable, she helped me make the move for him to memory care. He has been there since and as expected had to adjust to not having his dog with him or being in his own home. But we were able to move his own things in and the head nurse Christina, nurse Angela, “maintenance guru” Smokey & all the staff have made numerous accommodations to his “take charge” personality to make him feel at home. Now when I visit, he tells me regularly how happy he is! This is such a wonderful thing to hear from someone with dementia, when as caregiver, you struggle with knowing if you are doing what’s best for your charge. I have even recently utilized the location for respite care for another loved one I care for. This is a great place to live whether independently, and in need of more, and obviously one I won’t hesitate to utilize for myself if, or when, the time comes!

Stopped by to visit my aunt as I was passing through town and I was blown away but the most incredible Luau event at the Forum at Crossing! My aunt loves it there and we are so blessed as a family to have her at such an awesome place. Thank you!

My father moved into Memory Care in 2009 and my mother moved into an apartment at The Forum at about the same time. The staff in Memory Care was amazing at how quickly they got to know Dad's personality. Mom and I spent a lot of time with Dad and got to know the staff and other residents there. There was always an open line of communication with the staff and they were responsive to our needs. Mom quickly integrated into the social life of apartment living and stayed very active. I enjoyed visiting with her, participating in activities, especially happy hour! The staff in independent living was amazing. They provided an individualized continuum of care for Mom until she moved to Memory Care. When that time came I was so happy to see that although it had been a number of years since Dad was in Memory Care, much of the staff was the same, and it was comforting that many of them already knew my mom. Many of my friends' parents have moved into retirement homes and assisted living, and as I hear of the problems they have encountered, I am grateful for my family's experience with The Forum.

I don’t know how they do it - abundant patience and love for the residents. We like all the staff & nurses - they always have time for us - no matter what they are doing. Nothing like it! So are glad we found the Forum, & they had room for us. Many thanks.

My mom has been at The Forum for over 3 years. The staff has been amazing! They truly care about the residents. The residents also care about one another and have alot of fun participating in all of the activities that are offered. The dining room staff is awesome and are very helpful. The food at the The Forum is very good as well. It has been a wonderful experience for my mom!
