THE FORUM AT TUCSON

To Maria & the Staff of the Bridge to Rediscovery Memory Care unit: On behalf of my family, I want to thank all of you for taking such good care of our Mom for the last two-plus years of her life. Even with the progression of her Alzheimer’s disease, she flourished with you. She was always such a social person, finding the most happiness with others, participating in activities, especially music & dancing. Seeing her loving life inside her “little bubble” brought us joy & relief knowing she was truly happy. From Maria, down to the unit caregivers, medical staff, housekeeping & maintenance employees, culinary staff, volunteers who came in to provide various activities, then at the end of her time, the Harmony Hospice team who helped her transition gently - you all provided exceptional care. For that, our family is eternally grateful, thank you. May each of you be abundantly blessed. Lorraine’s daughter, Joanne

The varied and interesting activities as well as Agility exercise encourages us to stay healthy, and busy. Although the Forum, like other Senior Living Facilities has had difficulty with understaffing, those who are employed here give their ALL to the residents, from the Chef, to the cooks and servers, and those who bus tables. We get prompt service from Maintenance, and the housecleaning staff is good, as well. Given the many challenges to feed us, in Independent Living, there are many others to feed and care for in Assisted Living and Memory Care. I am most grateful to all the staff here, and consider myself a lucky recipient of their many efforts to take care of us.

I work here as a Care Giver for a few residents here and I’d like to say the Front office people are always welcoming, Food service workers show great passion in getting residents their food on time cooked well. Cleaning services are top notch doing more than what is expected. All around this place is very well maintained and I love working here surrounded by these nice people.

The cost at this facility includes at least one meal. Good luck with that!!! MIL is here and dinner service is almost nonexistent. They are not hiring enough people or the right people to get the job done. Waiting time just to get anyone's attention for a glass of water can be an hour or more. Attempts to talk to the director were cut short by the director. If this were a regular restaurant the customers would get up and leave. The residents here don't have that option. It is criminal!!!! Or should be.

My mother just moved in and was previously in another independent living facility out of state. The employees here have went above and beyond in so many ways. The food is good and people are friendly, I had looked at several others and felt like it was a "warmer" place. Her apartment is nice and they offer some support when needed if I am unavailable. If you are unsure, I recommend giving The Forum a look-- I have already recommended to friends. I have worked with a lot of places as a nurse so I personally felt that this was the right choice.
