June 9, 2023I am the Executive Director and was disappointed to read your impressions of The Forum at Deer Creek. I make it a point to return all messages promptly and am sorry if somehow I missed one of yours. As we want to exceed the expectations of every resident in everything we do I would certainly welcome the chance to sit down face-to-face and discuss your concerns. Please reach out to me again so we can set up some time to talk.
I'm currently a resident at The Forum at Deer Creek. Initial contacts with the staff were very positive. Ask as many questions as possible. Ongoing dealings are a little less successful. Housekeeping seems okay. I certainly would recommend a visit to this facility. The grounds are quite nice. The meals are very good and seem very considerate of dietary issues.

May 2, 2023Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at The Forum at Deer Creek, and thank you for your recommendation. We are glad to hear how much you enjoy our beautiful grounds and wonderful meals, and appreciate getting your feedback on our team.
We had a very good tour at The Forum at Deer Creek. I liked their whole concept. It looked very professional. The director was really very informative. They were in a higher price range than we could afford, but we really liked them.

February 1, 2023Thanks Scott! We love hearing your assessment that your parents are thriving since they moved to the Forum, and appreciate your kind words about so many aspects of the community. We're honored that your family chose The Forum at Deer Creek and are glad your parents now call this home.
The Forum at Deer Creek is an absolutely beautiful facility. Had we not decided on the other facility we chose, this would have been our first choice. It is actually owned by the same company (Five Star Senior Living) as the place we chose. No wonder we liked it so much!

January 5, 2023Thanks for visiting us and sharing your impressions. We were honored to read that you were impressed with everything you saw, and wish you and your loved one the best at our sister community!
I toured this facility. It seemed pretty nice, but seemed to cater more towards Independent Living rather than Assisted Living. Not what we were looking for.

Deer Creek is a BEAUTIFUL facility. The apartments were very nice. I looked at the food menu and it looked like there was a lot of variety. the options changed daily, weekly, and monthly. I would have loved to live here, but it was too expensive.

April 19, 2022Thank you for this lovely review of The Forum at Deer Creek. We're so glad to see that you love the meals and that life here is proving to be worry free. We appreciate your kind words for our team and your recommendation.
There are no visitors allowed in the dining area even with a mask and then they have a special room for visits but it is closed. They don't have enough staff for the dinning area. There is a entertainment room and visitors are not allowed in here either. I feel that covid is an excuse but I think it is really the under staffing. I just felt like I was mislead and wish I had time to do more homework. A definite plus is that the staff are genuinely kind

March 25, 2022Hi. I am the Executive Director and wanted to make sure you know that visitors are welcome in both our dining room and our private dining area. Reservations are required for both rooms to make sure that our culinary team can ensure a pleasant experience for our residents and their guests. Masked visitors are also welcome to join for any of our many programs. Please contact me directly if you have any concerns or questions.
We had an in person tour and we saw several different apartment layouts, but it kept us wanting more. It just was not the best space and we weren't able to see the largest one which is what we wanted. The guy we met with was very nice and good at the tour, but the communication was lacking and not done in a timely manner.
Response from The Forum at Deer Creek
March 4, 2022Thank you for visiting us and sharing your impressions. We'd be happy to add your name to our priority waitlist for your preferred floor plan, and can also work with you to explore apartments in our sister communities that may have exactly what you want. Give us a call back and we would be delighted to be of further assistance.
Communication from the senior staff has been lacking and is a problem in this community. This community is well situated and is a convenient good place in the market. It is a large community and there is a lot of activities. The food is either good or better than most and the day to day staff in the assisted living are good.

February 18, 2021Dan, I am the Executive Director and would welcome an opportunity to speak with you to understand your concerns. When residents need additional services we are committed to working with them and their families to ensure they can obtain the help they need. Please contact me at the community at your earliest convenience so we can help clear up any confusion you have with how to obtain additional help for your parents. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
My 82 year old brother had a severe brain bleed and had to have emergency surgery. He was doing well enough so that the hospital released him to the Forum for rehabilitation. Big Mistake. Doctor never saw him, the nurse shamed him when he soiled himself, there was a covid case in the place and they refused to give him a vaccine. Finally a doctor came and said he was doing well. Wrong! After being transferred back to the hospital, which was far safer, he was diagnosed with pneumonia--which the folks at The Forum failed to see. We are in danger of losing him after our hopes were so high. I already wrote to Gov. DeSantes. This is deplorable! Keep out.

The peace of mind of our families is of critical importance to us and I think that we may be able to set your mind at ease regarding your brother's care by reviewing his records with your family. Please contact me at the community at your earliest convenience so we can discuss your concerns in detail. Thank you for your consideration.
Basically beautiful facility. Lots of activities. The sales staff were focused on making that sale and meeting financial occupancy goals. My mom arranged the move alone and upon signing the paperwork, I found the apartment to be a horrible fit for my mothers needs. No one was around to show me the apartment until the paperwork was signed and they received a check. The administrative staff lacks the ownership of resolving major concerns and a lot of times they're not even there. My mother moved in.. paid a large fee to have the apartment ready and one month later.. its still not resolved. My mother moved in to a broken ac they brought up a portable until it was fixed. Currently the glass top stove remains shattered and not safe to use. Shower head leaks the bathroom is next to her bed. Her pictures have not been hung. There's a huge lip between the tile and flooring that causes my mom who utilizes a walker to trip. The moving company that was strongly recommended by [name removed] was horrible unprofessional rude and just plain bullies. They set up her apartment "thd standard" way and Tefused to move her items how she wanted them. That company is Estate home services [name removed] and [name removed]. Her dresser was turned sideways everything fell out and the draws wouldn't open. When calling them they were defensive and rude and took 3 weeks to fix. Currently made a corporate complaint and met with The director [name removed]. Doesnt make logical sense to sell an apartment that is the farthest away from everything to an elderly women that has agility and stamina disabilities that uses a Walker. Safe happy convenient living is not the goal. Selling apartments and meeting occupancy is the main goal . The social aspect is great. The staff is friendly. Multiple calls to administration after a month of patience and being ignored. Today after this review the stove and shower were fixed. Sooo beware be diligent. Lots of smiles and promises. But you need an advocate or your stuck

October 8, 2019Kathy, I am the Executive Director want to thank you for speaking with me directly regarding your concerns. At The Forum at Deer Creek we desire to exceed the expectations of our residents and families and we apologize that your initial experience did not meet that standard. I will continue to work with you and your mom to resolve any outstanding issues and encourage you both to reach out to me if any new issues crop up. I am confident that working together we can provide the environment and lifestyle for your mom that makes you both happy.
To the manager. My brother-in-law stayed for a while. We all (the family) was greatly disappointment. You need to work hard if thing have remained the same. One Saturday my housekeeper and I arrived to do things in his apartment. We couldn't find him so sat in the hallway. His neighbor, a lovely elderly woman who was fairly much bed bound was calling for help. There was no one around. Finally we went in to see if we could do anything for her. She was thirsty. I asked why didn't she call. She said it is no use no one will come. They know I have a private aide due in an hour and half. How pathetic is that? The next day there a group of people sat on the white sofa. A man they alll knew needed help to go to the bathroom. They were yelling at the top of their lungs. No One. Then they yelled "To late again! Please do not try to make bad good without changing it permanently.

September 10, 2019I am the Executive Director and would very much like to speak with you about your comments. We work hard to provide a warm and inviting residence and scrutinize ourselves daily as part of our efforts to achieve the high standards and personal touch we expect. As part of those efforts we ask our residents and families for their invaluable input through a variety of venues. Neither I nor my staff have any knowledge of the incidents you describe in your review, and are having trouble placing where in the community your loved one lives as we have no white couch in any of the common areas. Please give me a call at the community or stop by my office to discuss further.
If you want your loved one to sit for hours in their own waste....not just once, but many, many times....this is the place for you.

My mother age 82 is at the Forum dying of stage 4 cancer and has resided there for a few years. I'd rather she be put in a DOG KENNEL than at the Forum! The care, the aides and the nurses don't care, leave my mother in soiled garments and when I call the nurses station because I just spoke to her and she is in pain under her breast or in her legs or in her rear end, they merely pass the buck and tell me, they will find a nurse because the nurse is doing her rounds. They do not care, they do not have any priorities aND DO NOT PUT YOUR MOTHER, FATHER OF ANY LOVED ONE THERE. MY SISTER HAS POWER OF ATTORNEY AND HEALTH CARE PROXY AND i CAN DO NOTHING TO HELP MY MOTHERS BAD CARE AT THE FORUM. YOU CAN-PLEASE DO NOT GO THERE-[removed] WAS THE FIRST NURSING HOME SHE WAS IN ANDMY SISTER SHOULD HAVE LEFT HER THERE!
