Discovery Village At The Forum

When looking for assisted living for a family member, Discovery Village at the Forum was near by to ensure we can visit our loved one. Discovery Village at the forum is clean, well maintained and the staff are extremely friendly. The absolute difference maker for this place, and what ultimately tipped the scales in favor for our loved one was Gigi. There are multitudes of options for assisted living in and around town. None of them have the heart for residents like Gigi. Gigi is relentless in her fervent passion for the residents, and their family members. To be exceedingly clear on this subject, my family member would not be at Discovery Village at the Forum without Gigi. She is a shining example of customer-oriented service and, in my opinion, should be elevated as stellar representative of the Discovery Village brand. There are many places that check similar boxes, but most of them do not have someone with a heart of gold like Gigi. If you are in the market for a facility, please do yourself and your loved one a favor: make an appointment with Gigi and take a tour of Discovery Village at the Forum with Gigi. You'll absolutely be glad you did. We are! Thank you Gigi and the Discovery Village brand for employing such a superstar!

My father is 100 yrs old and he has been here since March 2025 after he had a fall and broke his back. This is the second time he has been here. First time Dad and I both came here for three months after hurricane Ian. It was a wonderful port in the storm. We were well cared for and everyone was hospitable, kind and met our every need. Now, Dad gets wonderful attention and care. The staff, cnas, servers, medicine techs and activities directors all know him. On Forth of July they planned a hugh outdoor barbeque. As climate had it, it poured rain, thunder and lightening. All the event was brought inside. They configured the room for all the tables. They scooted the live music over in the corner to allow this extra room for tables. They went table to table to get a count of hamburgers and hot dogs. The kitchen with all the servers came out witj plates prepared for everyone. If you wanted more or another side dish it was brought. We had a fabulous time. The decorations, the music and the time together was so memorable. The activities her are thoughtful and can usually accomodate everyone. If you are thinking about a place for your loved one or even for your self, I personally reccomend Discovery Village AF. Cheryl Mayberry

I moved my mom into Discovery Village on August 18, 2025, and I would like to share my experience so far. From the very beginning, the intake process with GiGi, the leasing agent, was exceptional. She was thorough, detailed, professional, and patient in answering all my questions. She walked us through the paperwork, gave us a full tour, explained each step of the process, and made sure my expectations for my mom’s care were clearly understood. GiGi’s professionalism and genuine concern gave me the confidence that I was making the right decision. When my mom first entered Assisted Living, the staff was very welcoming. They were kind, inviting, and immediately made us feel like part of the community. I had toured other facilities before, but the warmth and attentiveness of the staff here stood out. My biggest concern was whether my mom would be treated well and truly cared for. While I did not expect anyone to love her the way I do, I needed to know she would feel comfortable and at home. The Assisted Living team was very impressive and gave me that assurance. My mom has been through a lot, including three strokes within 90 days, which left her needing a walker and help with standing and moving. At Discovery Village, I felt confident she was safe, cared for, and would not be neglected. However, just four days the care team determined she would be better supported in Memory Care. At first, I was disappointed, because both my mom and I had grown attached to the Assisted Living staff. The teams are different, and I was not sure what to expect. Now, after 11 days in Memory Care, I can say I’m not upset at all. In fact, my mom is thriving. She is even begun telling me, “I’ve got it,” when I try to help her with certain things. While the Memory Care staff seems to not be as outwardly warm or social as those in Assisted Living, the level of care they provide is excellent. They are attentive, responsive, and ensure residents are safe and well monitored. My mom tells me she feels well cared for and each time I check on her, her skin, her comfort, her mood I can see she is receiving the attention she needs. Still no rashes, no sores, nothing but thoughtful care. It has only been 18 days since she moved in, but overall, I feel at peace knowing my mom is in a safe, supportive environment. I plan to continue updating my experience as time goes on especially regarding the staff and dining experience but so far, Discovery Village at the Forum has truly earned my trust and gratitude.
