Get ready to call 911 yourself. My father was unresponsive one day when I went to visit. I could not get a nurse to come to his room. I had to get my father into a wheelchair and take him to the nurse. She did nothing. I took him to the nursing desk and they were too busy to look at him. I asked for the doctor to see him and the doctor apparently came to the building but never came to see my father. My father ended up in ICU that night with sepsis, double pneumonia, and a urinary tract infection. Prior to my that, I learned I had to stay at the Forum all day to make sure my father received the correct medications on time. I often had to find the nurse to tell her it was time for my father's medication. Sometimes she was in a training meeting and I had to pull her out so my dad could get his medication. The doctor mixed up my dad's paperwork with another patient. He wrote that my dad had diabetes and ordered the diabetic diet. My father was not diabetic and had no issues with blood sugar. The nurses at the nurses desk would not help fix this so I had to call the doctor myself. There were other issues such as an electrical outlet next to my father's bed where the bedframe had rubbed against the cord so much that the cord was frayed and I could see the wires below. I showed this to the staff and it was never fixed during the time my father was there. The standard of care my father received was terrible. If you believe the hype and put your loved one at The Forum at Knightsbridge because their building looks nice, please please please stay with your loved one all day to keep them safe. And if you feel your loved one is in danger, do not wait for the staff to call 911.

We have a family atmosphere within our team members. During the last snow storm a dozen or more people stayed over to ensure our residents received the best care! Our team is willing to go that extra mile to be sure your loved one is happy. If I needed to have my parents live in a community, this would be it!

The Forum is like an upscale hotel. All my interactions with staff have been positive. Everyone has a great attitude and cares about their job. My family member who is a resident has had nothing but good things to say about this place. The Forum came recommended to me by several different friends and it has lived up to its reputation.

The forum at Knightsbridge is a beautiful and amazing place. The care the staff gives is above and beyond, you can feel the love for their residents when you walk in the door. Very clean building, apartment are beautiful. Staff is amazing from the bottom to the top. Always feel comfortable leaving knowing my loved one will be given the best care possible. Would recommend highly to anyone looking to place their love one in a retirement facility.

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.
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.
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.
