Visited sister & was charged $500 for guest room. Horrible room & they said would refund money. I wrote check for one night (125) and assumed they’d tear up other check. Three months later they cashed BOTH checks. They said they would send us a refund check. Never happened! Sister also was told they could ride a boat and after 3 months still not able to. Also you pay for your meals, but not allowed to take your leftovers to apartment for later! This place sucks!! Received call from Kelly, executive director. Stated she’s been in position 6 1/2 years & never received bad review. She told me the company was sending a check via overnight express and would I please change the review. That was 10 days ago & must have been by burro because still no check. Does this show their integrity??? Would give them a minus 10 if possible.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy being here and the employees are super. We have survived some very difficult times but with the help from management we have all grown and hopefully become better people. This is my home now and I am proud to be a part of the Forum at Desert Harbor

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.
