What Our Residents Say

group of seniors enjoying coffee

"My husband found Discovery Village in an online search. My mom is 92 and in good health other than some memory loss, and lived with us in our tiny house for 6 months. We were apprehensive about mom moving to her own space, but Gigi was so welcoming, accommodating, and so easy to work with. My mom has been there in assisted living for two months now, and is thriving! I can't give enough kudos to the staff for always going above and beyond for their residents. It's clean, bright, has regular activities, and outings, not to mention the delicious meals. Mom loves walking, so she walks outside each day, enjoying the beautiful grounds. Just 10 mins. from us, I highly recommend Discovery Village The Forum!"

"My wife and I have lived here for almost three years and enjoyed every day that we have been here. The community is happy and active with diversified activities and entertainment. The amenities are unsurpassed with all of daily life requirements catered to by a cheerful and respectful staff. The dining experience is diversified and delicious with many selection options. We are experienced retirement industry administrators, we knew the type of community we were looking for when we found Discovery Village and have been happy since. This is truly a five star!!!!"

Resident
"We placed my aunt here a few weeks ago and let me tell you, WHAT A RELIEF that was for her and my family. From the moment we walked in the door to do a tour to the last day I was there visiting, I was treated like family. Staff is wonderful and so caring. You can tell residents come first. Before moving in, my aunt was struggling. On her first day she saw Dr. Butler and was given the right treatment and immediately was thriving. I’m so thankful for GiGi and all that she did for us, and continues to do now that we’re all back home 8-20 hours away. All the med techs and assistants that help my aunt with her day to day needs. I’m so grateful we discovered The Forum."
