The Forum at Tucson sits on landscaped grounds with palm trees, a lake, and a pond, and you'll see walkways winding past gardens and a tiered fountain, and there's a dog park for pets. The campus has independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home health, and short-term or respite care, so folks can find a living arrangement that fits as care needs change, and aging in place is possible if more support is needed later. The apartments come in several sizes like studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom plans, and include features such as patios or decks, dens, laundry rooms, and sometimes kitchenettes or full kitchens if you want to cook for yourself, though chef-prepared meals and a MyChoice Dining Program let residents pick how many meals per day they want with options for special diets, and the large dining room has neatly set tables and comfortable seating for eating together. There's a movie theater that hosts regular movie nights, both indoor and outdoor heated pools, a fitness center, and group exercise classes, plus a clubhouse, gazebo, billiards room, card and game room, a library with large bookshelves, and community computer workstations, and residents can join happy hours or use the bar and lounge. Transportation, housekeeping, basic cable, and internet come with the package, and the gated, wheelchair-accessible property has security and covered or resident parking.
The staff on site are licensed and trained to give care and support, including nurses and doctors who make house calls, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists are available. The memory care section uses the Bridge to Rediscovery program for dementia and Alzheimer's and makes sure folks get personalized care, mind-stimulating activities, and a secure environment, with both recreational and occupational therapy options. There's help with daily living, medication management, laundry service, and in-home health or hospice if someone's health changes, plus there are podiatrist and dentist visits on-site and rehab through FOX Rehabilitation. Residents can also get involved in many social activities and clubs, devotional services, group outings, educational and art classes, and volunteer work, and the activity calendar aims to keep people social and engaged, which can help make friends if someone wants to meet new people. Pets are allowed, with pet therapy offered too. Apartment and room amenities include private rooms, queen-size beds, ensuite bathrooms, leather couches, decorative pillows, and large windows, with options to decorate personal spaces. Residents can pick how independent they want to be-there are options for people who just like activities and easy living without much help, as well as assisted living for those who need more hands-on support. Monthly pricing starts around $2,900 for independent living, $2,800 for assisted living, and $4,700 for memory care, with short-term and respite stays available for folks recovering from illness or family caregivers needing a break. The Forum at Tucson focuses on helping people keep their independence as much as possible, while also providing the support and safety needed to make life comfortable and enjoyable.
