Satisfied Resident

Beautiful facility with caring staff. Clean facilities with lovely lake across the rear grounds. White fabric table clothes with real silverware and decorative centerpieces in the dining room. Some apartments face the lake. Fun activities are planned weekly with transportation provided for shopping, banking and doctor appts.

The Forum at Desert Harbor

My mom has been there since April. I love it for her and it meets our family's needs. I love that step up care is available. She wanted a shot at independence but assisted living is available when the time comes. Staff and residents are friendly, the grounds are clean, outside activities are plentiful, and coin free laundry is convenient. The one area for improvement is food. It can be bland, but I understand the complexity of meeting the needs of varying dietary concerns. My mom is just a picky eater.

Review for The Forum at Desert Harbor

First off ....I love this place! I have a two bedroom with a full kitchen. I will admit the food isn't always to my liking , but I think that's the norm for most of these facilities. All staff I've met are very friendly and helpful. My cleaning gal comes once a week , changing and launders my bedding and cleans my apartment .

Review for The Forum at Desert Harbor

The staff in the front office have greeted us by name, with smiles, since the first day we arrived. The dining room servers are efficient, respectful and friendly. Maintenance crews are able and willing to respond to our needs. Overall, we feel that we have entered a village. We have a one bedroom apartment with one bathroom, a balcony with a view of a lake, a dining area, full kitchen and good size living room. We are comfortable. The only thing we miss is a bathtub. Our apartment is 855 square feet. We can eat …

Dad is happy

I will say that they have times where the dining room has some issues with being short staffed, but that's is due to employees. They do try to keep every position filled. The beauty of the grounds and common areas. Good food. Good staff. Friends Dad has made. Appreciated activities.

Was immediately impressed with the sign on the desk when I first entered the building which was a welcome (my name and my friend's name)on it. Always wonderful to be greeted with such a nice way, knowing our names. The young lady that was our tour guide was so very pleasant and answered questions we asked quickly. She took the time to find out what we are looking for, our likes and dislikes, explained about the activities available, and special activities that are also available off campus. The facility is very cle…
