The staff where very accommodating. Full of info I needed and showed me multiple different apartments and most of the facilities. Gave brochures and additional info for moving Mom out of her home. Invited me to come back with Mom for a meal and other activities. Introduced me to everyone we passed on the hallways. Took great interest in finding out more about Mom and what she likes.

The Pointe at Brookside experience

I helped my friend get in there. One of the good things is a deliver meals. If you can't go for lunch and dinner, it's close to a safe area, it's close to shopping if you need to get out and head means to get out. There's a balcony for outside excess if you're a smoker., I just want to spend a little time outside.

Review for The Forum at Brookside

Mom has been there barely a month and she has made a couple of friends (not easy for her, others would get a bunch of friends by now), the dining experience is way above anything we have experienced. In fact, at the Forum we love joining mom for meals, while at her previous place we found it unappealing. The overall environment is uplifting and happy.

The Forum is not only welcoming -its full of wonderful well manicured green spaces. The staff is supportive and kind and their kitchen serves top quality meals that would satisfy the most demanding diner. A variety of activities are included. My sweet pup and I are grateful we can call this. HOME !

Easy Transition!

The Forum makes the transition to independent living so easy for the residents and their family members! Almost immediately my parents were participating in all kinds of activities and events and continue to tell me how nice everyone is. I’ve joined them for dinner and found the atmosphere and food quite enjoyable.

There is no pressure to be someone other than yourself

I have lived at The Forum at Brookside nearly five years and am pleased to offer this facility a rating of A+. The accommodations here are pleasant and well maintained by the experienced and conscientious staff. Eating in our dining room is a pleasure not only because of the excellent food choices but also because of the jovial atmosphere and conversations among fellow residents. We have fun and enjoy one another’s company. Our activity directors and professional staff are very friendly and provide many opportunities for exercise, entertainment and socializing. I am pleased that everyone’s unique temperament and interests are respected which allows each of us to be as sociable or private as she or he wishes. One activity I especially enjoy is taking frequent walks around our well-maintained 40 acre campus. It is a rare treat to be able to live on such a beautiful plot of land with a brook flowing through the property - all within the city.

I am in the Personal Care area and have a great experience. The food is so good with lots of variety. But the best is the staff- from nurses, support staff, dietary and even maintenance. Everyone is very friendly and attentive- truly have been at The Forum so long that they are like family. I heartily recommend!!!

It is a great place. It is independent living and we have been reminded of that in situations when I expected her to have some help. The meals are good. Since it is independent living, there isn't communication with the family. I recommend it if the senior can't take care of a house but is functional on their own.

Friendly, patient staff

Things have gone very well so far at The Forum at Brookside. The facility itself is well kept and clean, and I think they've done a great job working with my loved one. The staff have been very patient and kind, and really dedicated to making sure she gets settled in and comfortable.

Tips for evaluating your community options.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Kentucky regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Kentucky regulations for Assisted Living.
