The Forum at Knightsbridge

My relative lives at the Forum in assisted living. The Forum is not a clean facility and I do not feel that the care is adequate. The apartment unit always smells badly. We try to maintain cleanliness in the apartment and we ask the staff to assist as well but they do not. The unit continues to be dirty and smelly. The staff launders clothes that often we never get back. Instead of actually cleaning the bathroom, they will wipe here and there with a clorox wipe for one minute and leave the room. I do not recommend this facility for your family member if he or she requires a lot of help. We are investigating other living arrangements. The independent living area is probably fine as a resident can do more for themselves and are more aware. As a positive, I do think that the activities presented to residents are fun and engaging. As a whole, from what I see, the staff the friendly.

My in-laws have been living at the Forum for about a month now. They are comfortable in their independent living apartment (good space & windows for natural light!). They are starting to get to know others - a very friendly community. They are also starting to participate in some of the many outings and activities offered at the Forum. They also appreciate being in a community with a continuum of care.

My mother lived at The Forum the last years of her life and it was just wonderful. She started out in Independent Living and the staff and other residents were so interactive that she really enjoyed it. After a fall, she spent time in the rehab/Healthcare and had excellent care and physical therapy. She then moved to Ambassador Suites/intermediate memory care. I was concerned about this transition but, again, such wonderful and caring people made it easy. Another fall and another stay in Rehab; another experience with the kind and skilled staff. From there she went to a short stay in Bridges which is a higher level of care. She had such caring people; I can't emphasize that enough. She peacefully passed away with family, hospice, and The Forum at her side.
