The Forum at The Woodlands lets seniors pick from independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, so people can stay in one place if their needs change. The community welcomes up to 126 residents, sits on a large 23-acre wooded campus, and even includes a 3-acre lake, and you see ducks by the pond or grandchildren feeding turtles off the walking paths sometimes, which is nice. There are apartments with full kitchens or kitchenettes, some with private patios, and the campus is gated for safety. There's restaurant-style dining and a café; the Five Star Dining program runs in the main dining room and there's always a private space for small family meals or celebrations if needed, and the kitchen staff make a complimentary breakfast daily. Folks like using the outdoor pool in summer, but there's also an indoor heated pool and even a dedicated clubhouse with its own activities.
The Forum provides help with daily living activities, medication reminders, and offers different support levels, including respite stays and specialized programs for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, using things like reminiscence therapy, Montessori activities, and light therapy. There are on-site FOX Rehabilitation services, group exercise and fitness classes for all ability levels, and a spa and wellness room for when you just want to feel pampered or need some rehab. Nursing care is always available, about 12-16 hours daily, and there's a 24-hour call system. You'll also find an on-site beauty salon and barber shop, a library, billiards lounge, arts and crafts center, bar/cocktail lounge, card and game rooms, and computer workstations. They have their own church services on campus, a chapel, and devotional gatherings. The outdoor areas have community gardens, patios, a dog park, a gazebo, and walking trails, for when you want to enjoy the forest or watch birds by the lake.
There's scheduled transportation to shopping, golf, area parks, doctor's appointments and outings to spots like Brooklyn Cafe or Starbucks. The Forum keeps things busy with movie nights, music programs, group trips, clubs, volunteer events, happy hour, and activities that fill the calendar from morning to evening. You've got concierge services, housekeeping, and in-house doctor visits if that's needed. They welcome pets, run pet therapy, and have covered parking for your car. Memory care starts at $7,000, assisted living starts at $2,600, and independent living starts at $2,300. The Forum belongs to the Five Star Senior Living group, and it receives state licensing with License #307769; it meets legal standards as a limited liability company. The community's near medical offices like Family Psychiatry of The Woodlands and CVS Pharmacy. People can use fast internet, cable, satellite TV, and Wi-Fi, which helps folks stay in touch with family or play games online. Families and residents like the mix of quiet, calm surroundings with lots of activity choices, so if someone needs more care over time, they don't have to move away.
