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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Forum at Brookside

The Forum at Brookside offers Studio and 1 Bedroom. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Forum at Brookside 9.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
