Page 26 of Best Memory Care in Florida

Overview of Discovery Village at the Forum

Independent living, assisted living, and memory care are the three levels Discovery Village at the Forum offers in Fort Myers, FL. Its neighborhood is The Forum.

Independent living is for someone who wants the community’s services without any daily care. Dressing, bathing, and medication are what assisted living staff help with, and the apartment still belongs to the resident. Memory care is the most protected of the three, with supervision in a secured setting for a resident who might wander. A resident whose needs grow can change levels here rather than change communities.

Short respite stays are also possible, and pets are allowed. Julia M. Torres is administrator on behalf of the operator Britton (Forum) LLC.

Poolside cabanas give residents time outdoors, and there is a bistro and a movie theater as well. Dimensions Health & Fitness is the fitness program. Connections transportation handles scheduled rides for planned outings. The 150 beds are in residences with one- or two-bedroom units.
