Since I live in Kansas I've only experienced this through my cousin except for annual trips to visit her. She certified seems happy with the place and hasn't complained to me about anything except for one or two tenants who can be difficult at times, she just stays away from them,

Review for The Forum at Desert Harbor
The staff really do a good job selling you the facility. We believed that our loved one could participate with the participants from the independent living side. That really is not the case. I would not recommend it for any family member that has a sharp mind and would like to make friends. As I said above, the staff really did a good job of selling the place. It's it's looks beautiful on the independent living side looks beautiful the assisted-living side it really is not very warm and fuzzy. We chose that place because at first we really thought it would be nice if our loved one could be there and and be able to participate with the independent living people, but she has not been able to and we aren't very happy with that aspect.

My family and I could not be happier that we were lucky enough to get my mother into The Forum at Desert Harbor. Absolutely "everyone" has been kind, professional, and goes above and beyond, from [name removed] in sales (who helped us get her established) to maintenance, dining staff, housekeeping...The facility is beautiful maintained! We recognize mom can be difficult and I commend their patience and care. She even loves the food which, in and of itself, is a huge blessing. This entire experience has brought us great peace!

My mother in law is currently a resident at The Forum at Desert Harbor and her experience has been very good so far at this facility. The leasing agent was very nice and helpful. Some of the staff speak Spanish, which makes my mother in law feel more comfortable. There is always someone available if you have questions. I would recommend The Forum at Desert Harbor to family and friends.

Great place for a social senior
5 stars for all! They have so many activities to keep them busy. Mom doesn't have time to be bored. Also, [name removed] from a place for mom was great to work with! The apartments are a nice size, she can turn her scooter around in it. The cleaning staff is very nice. They bring her wash back nicely folded every time. I would definitely recommend The Forum at Desert Harbor.

A beautiful place
They have lots of activities. We picked this community because, everything is one building, it's a beautiful place with a lake. They have really good meals, compared to restaurant food. The staff that gave the tour was on top of things. I would recommend to other families.

I toured this community, it was our second choice. I'd say it's a good choice for starting out in Assisted Living. It's more affordable that some others in the area. They don't have a Memory Care unit, which we knew our loved one would need in the future. There also seemed to be a bit of a power struggle between our tour guide and management.

Jill, thank you for taking the time to tour our community. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you were impressed by our Assisted Living neighborhood. We understand that memory care is an important consideration for some families, and we would be delighted to connect you with one of our sister communities in the Phoenix area who offer comprehensive memory care services. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

We chose The Forum at Desert Harbor because of the affordability and I just really liked the people and the way they seemed to care, it was not just all about the money. I really like staff members who are in assisted living. The room sizes here are adequate for what he needs. Overall it has been a good experience and I would recommend to others looking.

This is a very good choice for assisted living!
We were able to visit last weekend and the activities are coming back, they had a lot of things going on. The food is good, however sometimes things are not served in a timely manner. Sometimes the coffee is served late, or the food is not on time, but we do think that issue is just temporary. My loved ones there are very happy with their living quarters and we do think the value for cost is really good.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Forum at Desert Harbor

The Forum at Desert Harbor offers Studio and 1 Bedroom. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Forum at Desert Harbor 9.4 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.
