The setting, care, and cuisine are excellent, but what sets the Forum apart from many other retirement facilities is the ability of the members through our Boards and committees to interact with our Management Staff to improve the quality of life for all who live here. Members and staff are very caring for one another to an extent that is extraordinary.

I toured The Forum at Rancho San Antonio. It's a clean facility with many amenities that I would be interested in. The staff was very knowledgeable. She knew what she was talking about, and I was impressed with her. It would be more what I was looking for in an independent living facility.

We love the great Forum staff that does so much to feed us, take care of us, and enhance our lives. Our fellow independent living residents are friendly and very accomplished. At the Forum, you can easily launch a new activity (as we've done with our piano salon) and with great staff support, make it something that everyone enjoys.

Strong sense of community; residents and staff greet each other in passing. Strong sense of ownership since we do in fact own the place as an HOA. My spouse and I have both been on the board, and we know it is well run by LCS, our contracted management. Near to urban centers in Silicon Valley, and walking distance to open space and hiking.

The Forum is unusual in that residents are shareholders in the community making all of The Forum's independent living residents owners. All told there are 259 apartments and 83 villas. Regardless if one lives in a 1 bedroom apartment or a large villa, everyone has access to the dining venues (formal dining, bistro and lounge eateries, continental breakfast and take-out meals if desired), lectures, fitness sessions, committees, interest groups, entertainment and outings. There is more than en...

The best part of life at The Forum is the sense of community. Great friendships, truly caring and long-lasting staff, and a sense that all are committed to its success because of the equity ownership model. The mission statement says it all— To be a community that embraces a culture of friendship, health, sustainability, and purpose.

We can’t be more thrilled with our decision to relocate to The Forum. There are many housing options to chose from - a 1 bedroom apartment to multi- bedroom villas. More than enough choices for you to find a situation that works best for you. The support that the team members provide gives peace of mind.

Nothing is perfect but the Forum is close to it. My husband and I have lived here for three years and have found little to complain about. It is a lovely setting, people are very friendly and staff is wonderful at responding to requests or questions. My husband was in the skilled nursing for a little while following an illness. The care he got was wonderful and knowing he was nearby and well cared for was very comforting to me.

Be prepared to know your rights AND the last day Medicare will pay for treatment - patient dumping/transfer trauma is real, and The Forum shocked and disappointed us by their callousness.

The tour at The Forum at Rancho San Antonio was excellent, but the villa was not attached to the main building. You're kind of stuck out on the road, which is if I were incapacitated and couldn't walk, that would be a negative. I'd have somebody pick me up and take me to the main building where the meals are being served and the activities are taking place. The amenities were excellent and there were a lot of activities. The staff I met were excellent.

The Forum at Rancho San Antonio is a continuing care retirement community. The facility was excellent. The only negative thing about The Forum for me was the salesperson, who is a realtor. It's a buy-in place. I thought everything was impeccable, but it was a little too upscale for me. I'm not used to all that posh; all that expensive show of wealth. For me, because of the feel of the place, it wasn't a good fit. For somebody that likes that sort of thing, it was really, really nice. The rooms ...

The Forum at Rancho San Antonio is a lovely full-service facility. It allows people to retain property ownership if that's important to them. It's an equity ownership model.

There are many reasons I love living at the Forum. One of the main things I love is the sense of community. I was asked by a friend, who does not live here, if I have someone to rely on if I need help with something. For example, would someone go to a drugstore and pick up a prescription if I didn't feel well? I realized that almost anyone who drives would do that for me. We take care of each other. It is like having an extended family that lives nearby. When I go to the dining room al...

We initially moved to The Forum for practical reasons: we needed to ensure we had a plan in place for healthcare in the event one or both of us needed additional care. We also had two relatives with happy experiences at The Forum—both in independent and assisted living. We simply could not find a similar facility on a par with The Forum in the area. It was an easy decision. However, after moving to The Forum, we had even more reasons for being happy with our decision. The camaraderie among resid...

I know The Forum at Rancho San Antonio because I have two friends there. I didn't need a regular tour there because I realized I've been there. One friend is in the assisted care facility and has been there for quite a few years. She likes it, and I think she gets good care. The other one moved in last year, and I think she likes it too. I think you get more for your money there than other places because you buy in and you have equity as a group. When you leave the place or when you die, the m...

We have lived at The Forum for eight years and love it. You do have to purchase a unit but if you live here about eight years you tend to get all your money back when sold. Meals are excellent and lots of activities. A major updating is just starting and occupancy prices will not increase as a resullt of the plan. Skilled nursing and assisted living costs for residents are 50% of the local market rate but you do pay a mothly health care fee to offset the big discount.

The Forum is a beautiful place, we have a friend who lives there, but it was not compatible with us. I felt it was not a good environment. They had a nice exercise room and a small woodworking shop (which I would find very attractive). They had a pool and various kinds of entertainment. We had dinner there and the food was delicious. The apartments were very nice as well.
