My parents recently moved into The Forum, and I've never seen them happier! The staff is extremely personable, attentive and helpful, and the other residents welcomed them with open arms. They are meeting all sorts of new friends, and I couldn't be happier for both of them. They are truly living their "best life" in their new community.

We visited The Forum at Overland Park after having a thorough phone conversation with Tritia Humphrey, Move-In Coordinator. She was very forth coming with the details we needed to know to decide if we wanted to move forward. When we visited The Forum in person, Tritia took all the time we needed to help us thoroughly tour the facility. She introduced us to staff, thoroughly answered questions, took us to specific residents rooms to see a plan. She even told us to “speak to anyone you meet while your here to ask about their experiences”. Which by the way we did, and residences words matched their smiling faces. After the tour I texted and emailed further questions or request to Tritia for further information. I was always rewarded with a timely, thorough and happy to help attitude. A few days later, we came back with my mother-in-law and as expected Tritia listened well when my husband and I visited, so she was able to speak to my mother-in-law very specifically about her concerns. She introduced my mother-in-law to many residents and even invited her to stay for dinner. Even if you don’t find The Forum the right place for your loved one, Tritia is a asset to your research. She knows all the residents by name, understands the layouts of the rooms, knows the staff and it’s routines well and is very honest about The Forum. We have found Tritia to be very approachable, accessible, knowledgeable, honest and timely. She will individualize anything she can for you and goes out of her way to make The Forum understood so you can make a solid decision. We are going back again to look at a specific unit that Tritia knows is coming available and requested to have my mother-in-law stay for dinner during that visit. Very pleased each time we go with the place, the staff, the rooms, and Tritia Humphrey has been a treasure in helping us navigate this experience.

Just wanted to thank the Forum for assisting us with our family’s needs. We felt welcomed and had very good care during our stay. We had our mother staying in their respite care and we’re very pleased with the efforts of everybody involved. Thank you for assisting us during this time of need!

We have been a part of The Forum at Overland Park community since just before the pandemic when my mom moved in after a cross-country relocation. We are grateful for the quality of service they provided through the shut-down as they tried match community safety with the needs of their residents. The Forum is a very active community, with very friendly and attentive staff that facilitate activities for a thriving and welcoming senior living community. They also have made facility updates recently as they make effort to improve services while remaining stable and reliable option for seniors.

Questions & Answers

Can a resident have family members from out of town stay over night

Yes

When I visit assisted living communities with my daughter, I find it all a little intimidating. Moving from a small house to a big community is frightening. I just don’t know if I can learn my way around a new place.

My father needs more help than we can provide for him to be safe at home. I think he realizes it but is reluctant to leave the friends he’s made in his neighborhood. Dad has lived there for about 25 years. What can we do to reassure him he can stay connec

Good question! Embarking on a new chapter in life doesn’t mean old friends have to be left behind. Assisted living communities offer a wide range of programs and events residents can invite guests to participate in. And they also offer transportation services so your dad can attend events in and around town with his old buddies. Fortunately, there are other ways your father can stay in touch. Social media channels like Facebook or a video chat service such as Skype are two easy avenues for staying connected.

My mom agreed that it was time for her to move to an assisted living community this winter. She knows she just isn’t safe living alone any longer. We found a community Mom seemed to love. Now we can’t seem to get her motivated to actually make the move. I

This sometimes happen when it actually comes time to make the move. Your mom is probably anxious and a little uncertain. A late life transition like this isn’t easy to make. What might help is to get her involved in some of the events and activities at the new community now, instead of waiting until she actually moves in. Talk with the staff to see about helping her find a buddy with similar interests and hobbies that she can bond with during her visits. Becoming more familiar with the community and with a few fellow residents can help make the move feel a little less intimidating.

My children live out of town and have busy lives. I know I need to move to a senior living community but I don’t want to burden my children with downsizing my house. What can I do? It’s overwhelming to think about doing it all on my own.

We hear this concern from seniors often. Sorting through and packing up a lifetime of memories and belongings can be overwhelming. One resource we like to share with families is a group of professionals called Senior Move Managers. They are experts at handling all of the details of a later life move. You can find one near your home by visiting the National Association of Senior Move Managers or Certified Relocation & Transition Specialist.
