The Forum at Park Lane

The Forum at Park Lane sits across from North Park Mall and is a senior living community for people aged 55 and older, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so folks can get help if they need it or live more on their own. The building stands three stories tall and has elegant architecture, stylish decor, and cozy residences, with hallways designed to feel like friendly neighborhoods. You can find studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments in a variety of layouts between 600 and 1,500 square feet, with options like full kitchens or kitchenettes, patios, or balconies, and units can be furnished or unfurnished and come with cable, Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, emergency call systems, and private bathrooms, plus walk-in closets for added storage. The grounds have nice landscaping, a lake, walking paths, community gardens, a gazebo, and covered parking, and there's even a dog park because pets are welcome. Residents get access to both indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, and exercise classes, along with a beauty salon and barbershop featuring modern chairs and hair stations, plus a movie theater with a big TV, comfy seats, and a popcorn machine. The community also has chapels for religious services, a library, card and game rooms, an activity studio, and computer workstations so people can stay active and social, with social and recreational events like live shows, movie nights, games, and holiday parties. Meals are served in formal dining rooms with crisp table linens and chandeliers, or you can get guest meals, room service, and dietary adjustments, often through the Five Star Culinary dining program, and there's complimentary breakfast every morning. Staff handle housekeeping, laundry, linen service, and even scheduled transportation for shopping or appointments. Medical needs get covered with medication management, in-house doctor visits, nurse call pendants, on-site security around the clock, rehabilitation and therapy from FOX Rehabilitation, and skilled nursing if someone's health changes. The Forum at Park Lane welcomes short-term stays and respite care and lets people try out the community, and for those paying privately, independent living starts at about $3,600 a month while assisted living begins at around $4,100. Concierge services are available, utilities are included, and the staff has a reputation for being attentive and kind. Residents can choose from lots of programs, so there's always something to do, whether it's volunteering, joining a club, or enjoying outings, and overall, the place feels calm and friendly while offering safety, comfort, and a touch of elegance.
