The Forum at Memorial Woods is an independent-living community that integrates targeted medical support for residents who need light clinical oversight while maintaining an active lifestyle. The staff is equipped to manage supplemental oxygen, monitor and cue diabetics who control their condition with oral medications, and accommodate adults under 60 when appropriate. While the setting is not a secured memory-care unit, team members are trained to work with individuals who have mild dementia, providing gentle reminders and structured daily routines as needed to support safety and orientation.
Additional safeguards reinforce this medical foundation. All employees undergo background checks, an activity director coordinates programming throughout the day, and 24-hour staff coverage is backed by a personal emergency response system that alerts caregivers within seconds. A dedicated therapy room allows on-site rehabilitation or wellness sessions prescribed by outside clinicians. Staff can provide standby supervision for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they assist with transfers that involve walkers, wheelchairs, or simple standby support, allowing residents to retain maximum independence while knowing help is close at hand.
Apartment options range from studios to larger layouts, each designed for privacy and comfort. Many residences include full kitchens, in-unit laundry, independent temperature controls, cable hookups, and private baths, but availability of these features varies by floor plan. Residents may personalize their space with paint or décor after management approval. Light housekeeping is completed every other week, with weekly linen service standard. Common laundry rooms are available to all, and some units also contain private washers and dryers.
The dining program offers both a set daily menu and an on-order option for greater choice. Two meals—breakfast and either lunch or dinner—are included in the monthly fee, and a private dining room can be reserved for family events. Meals are prepared to accommodate most common dietary preferences, and staff can coordinate with physicians or dietitians when special instructions accompany diabetic or other medical needs.
Community amenities support a balanced lifestyle. Residents have access to a fitness room, wellness center, pool, movie room, library, bistro, Internet throughout the building, and landscaped communal gardens. A barber and beauty shop, on-site religious services, concierge desk, and scheduled transportation simplify daily routines, while both surface parking and covered parking for a fee meet the needs of drivers. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Lease terms are typically one year with a 60-day notice required for move-out.
