Valet parking, 3 savory daily meals in a restaurant, life entertainment, wonderful staff and neighbors, water aerobics, daily exercise classes, spacious apartments with incredible views and all kinds of activities, Too good to be true. I visited 6 Sr. Independent Living Facilities and for the monthly tent and all services included,The Forum at MW was by far the best choice.

Feels like family
She absolutely loves The Forum! Staff is like family. The food is excellent. There are fun activities planned everyday. The facility is spotless. She has a small efficiency apartment but there are some very big apartments there. All depends on how much you want to spend. I just really love this place and so does my mom.

Upscale adult community
The Forum is an upscale adult living community without the upscale pricing. My sister has many activities to partake in on a daily basis. She has met many people to befriend. She wears a monitor so if she has an emergency, someone will check in on her. The dining facilities are quite nice and you feel like you’re in a restaurant. The staff are very responsive.

Food and Service
Well, what can I say about this place? I don’t normally complain, but it has reached a point where it’s too bad not to complain., my parents has been living here for the past two years or the beginning we was a little bit and decided if this was the correct place if this was the best place, we met a few people that introduced us. Give us a good meal tell us that everything was gonna be OK that the food was going to be the best we ever had. We even had the pleasure to dine with the lady who gave us the tour right after, we meet in Food Service, Director that say the next time you come back I’m gonna cook you something special and yes, he did cook us something special. That was one of the decision points that my mom decide to stay at this place I do not know what happen if the ownership change but since couple of months now, the food has been absolutely terrible. I requested to speak to him.They said they do not know where he was fire because the the new ED [name removed] is bringing her people

A great place if you really care for your loved one!
My wife is currently a resident at The Forum at Memorial Woods and everything has been great for her at this facility. I just can't say enough about how satisfied I am! The nursing staff and the Director are on top of everything when the need arises. This facility is exactly what I wanted for my wife, as I could not be more satisfied. It truly is a FIVE star Memory Care facility! I am very very satisfied! I would recommend The Forum at Memorial Woods to others.

My loved one is currently a resident at The Forum at Memorial Woods. Overall, we're not very happy about her experience at this facility so far. They told me they could handle the level of care that my loved one needs, it's turned out to be just a big mess. The nurses on staff can't handle the needs of my loved one's care. The quality of care has not been good. The friendliness is not good.

Unprofessional and rude staff
Well after my dad hade lived at the forum in assisted living for five years. The number one complaint, I had was the rude unprofessional staff. I was yelled at by nurses. On several occasions just for asking questions. The nurses have been there for years and the lack of management gives them a self entitled attitude. Care givers leave a lot so your parent can’t get comfortable with the same care giver. They are Short handed some times one person working for 30 people. The staff hangs out at the reception desk because there is no management watching or even around to know. The gossiping by staff about the people living there is ridiculous and a violation of privacy. The rudeness even trickles down to the office management staff and Leasing agents. Just plain and simple unprofessional and disrespectful staff is enough to reconsider The Forum. Chips on shoulders like you owe them some thing. When you pay hugh amounts of money. Was not happy with this place.

Great facility
Elderly people are always welcome at The Forum at Memorial Woods. I can see that everyone on staff has been putting in a lot of effort to keep the building clean and safe, especially in light of this horrific outbreak. Everyone on the team is usually grinning. A positive outlook went a long way in giving residents peace of mind regarding anything and everything. My parents needed some time to get used to their new home at The Forum, but now that our two relatives have moved to [removed], they miss it, which has made me value the forum even more. I understand they got all the love they needed there. It's a huge blessing to have them.

The Forum at Memorial Woods
DEBT DEBT and DEBT. My check for rent was not controlled by the forum. Corporate deployed payment. However that said a plumbing problem involving two units on fourth floor caused my unit to pour black "stuff" in and all around bathroom into the hallways near my boxes and personal items inside. The black water rose up in the shower as though a volcano rising bubbling its source. No discount toward incident that happened. There were many reasons as to why I needed to get away from here. This is not the best place to be and sign a lease. I do have a kitchen and a dining room and living room and the community manager [name removed] always speaks to me in a supportive loving tone. My stay at The Forum could have been enjoyable. I learned meals were not that good every day lettuce edges withered as normal Breakfast was the same once you learned the system of choices And tables were owned by regulars who sat with friends all the time I didn't go there with money in my account for rainy days. Oh yes, I forgot Evening and Sunday dress code is serious. Meals on Sunday Evenings allowed staff to get a break. The evening take home snack was not good. It reminded me of H.E.B. Turkey Salad. It was offered every Sunday Evening. My experience taught me - Pretty doesn't always treat you well It is just as any other place that is for (old people) Fear and intimidation works BEST

One of the benefits of an apartment in our luxury high-rise independent living neighborhood is that the amenities such as our signature dining and our Lifestyle 360 resident engagement program are just a quick elevator ride away. Plus, you can enjoy the spectacular views of Memorial Park and Houston’s three skylines. Should you have occasion to explore Assisted Living or Memory Care, those neighborhoods are located in a different building on our full-service campus. Please accept our invitation to join us for a meal or program at your convenience.

A nice stay
My husband liked his short stay at this community. This is a nice place and some of the nurses were on top of things. My only complaint is that there did not seem to be a lot of communication between the day and evening staff. The food was good and they offered daily activities. The staff were nice.

It's Good; It's Bad
We have 2 family members in Independent Living at The Forum; we visit one to three times weekly. There's both good & bad news -- read more. 5-Stars: The good news: The Forum's independent Living is a really NICE facility. The staff consistently address residents by name. "Good morning, Mr. XXXX." The door men / security staff are very well-trained and courteous; the dining hall staff are attentive and polite. All the public spaces -- the lobby, elevator areas, hallways, dining room, activity rooms -- are beautifully furnished. Live orchids are always in the lobby. The food is high-quality and attractively served; the menu is nicely varied. Breakfast and mid-day meals are buffet-style with wait staff providing drinks and assistance; evening meals are ordered restaurant-style, and wine is available. Residents are offered interesting art classes and have the opportunity to participate in Forum-offered trips to cultural events (i.e. the Opera, etc.) or lunches out on the town. Throughout the year, there are fun on-site celebrations -- authentic TX barbecue during the Rodeo, grilled American favorites and live entertainment outside for the 4th of July, and many more too numerous to mention. In the month of their birthdays, residents are invited to a lovely champagne luncheon. One guest is complimentary, and others may attend for a reasonable fee. Happy Hours are offered twice-weekly. There is a phenomenal effort by all staff to provide a really wonderful holiday event in December. Residents are encouraged to invite friends and/or family, again for a reasonable fee. The Forum is decorated beautifully; the food is absolutely top-notch, and the entire first floor is converted into a lovely dining experience. Live entertainment is provided in each dining space; everyone -- staff, residents, guests & tiny tots -- are dressed in festive attire. It's a really nice event, and residents get to meet each other's children and grandchildren. In all these aspects, the Forum is 5-star senior living. 1-Star: The bad news: We noticed both of our loved one's apartments had very high humidity this summer. We called maintenance repeatedly; they never answer the phone!!! We left voice messages but received no responses. I took time to physically track down a maintenance man; he explained that we had the a/c unit fan set incorrectly; we corrected that in both apartments. In one apartment, we were shocked to find mold growing on the upholstered couch and chairs. We called maintenance and left messages again. Weeks passed before we got a response. The head guy had been on vacation. (And NO ONE ELSE can check voice messages?!?!!?) The Forum wanted permission to spray the furniture with MOLDEX. We didn't want a heavy chemical presence in the apartment; we researched the product. It's NOT recommended for use on upholstery!! We -- ourselves -- successfully used tea tree oil and rubbing alcohol to kill the mold. We still needed to fix the humidity issue in both apartments; we left more messages. We noticed mildew on the wood cabinets and furniture in the other loved one's apartment. We left more messages. I showed the mildew to the marketing person who had assisted us with both move-ins; I asked for a plan of action and a timeline. The response, THREE WEEKS LATER, was an invitation to a phone conference with a mold / mildew expert. The remediation has yet to begin. Meanwhile, our loved ones' allergies and asthma have intensified. There is clearly a huge problem with humidity / mold / mildew at The Forum. Check out the huge wet spot on the ceiling in the corner of the lobby! I don't know how many apartments are affected, but 100% of our family's are.

Awful food at the Forum
My mother in law lives in independent living and has for over four years. She called me the other night and said the food served for dinner was so bad she couldn't eat it and went to bed without dinner. This happens all the time. She and the other residents complain over and over again to no avail. If I had another place for her to live I would assist her in moving tomorrow!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Texas regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Texas regulations for Assisted Living.
