A great experience at Discovery Village

Lots of great activities offered. Both physical and spiritual, we have a great recreation Director. Apartment sizes and layouts are excellent. Our apartment has a dining area as well, but I have seen the other sizes and they are great. I absolutely recommend Discovery Village at The Forum to those looking for retirement living.

Before settling at [removed], I had the chance to visit Discovery Village at the Forum, and I must admit, I was really pleased. There was a welcome environment and kind smiles as soon as I stepped in. I felt at home immediately away because of the staff's extreme friendliness and knowledge. I was astounded by the community's general cleanliness and attention to detail when we took a tour of it. The apartments had lovely décor, contemporary conveniences, and were roomy and well-maintained. I was very impressed by th

Discovery Village at The Forum seemed like a really good choice - they gave us a great tour experience. The people were all great. The activities that they had provided for the residents were PHENOMONAL. For us it came down to the location. It is in the middle of a lot of new construction and traffic. This would have added a lot of time to her drive if she wanted to come visit us or if we wanted to visit her. That was the only downfall.

My Experience Here

It's a great place. They offer art activities, card playing, birthday parties for residents, exercising, etc. Right now we are going through a kitchen staffing change and we are provided a buffet style for meals. It just depends on the meals, some are buffet and some are served by servers. Currently the dining situation is not that great. I love my apartment, I got a 2 bedroom apartment and we love it.
