Through the years, we’ve seen residents move
away from our independent living community to assisted living or
nursing homes long before they truly needed to. Those
communities are the ideal location for those who require
continuous, around the clock care and supervision. Those
communities determine what you need, your daily activities, when
you eat and where you travel, and charge you a hefty monthly fee
for these services. The national median rate for a one bedroom
assisted living unit is $3,361 per month!
When we realized how many of our residents were moving to
assisted living but were only requiring a fraction of the
services they were being charged for, we decided then and there
to find an alternative to keep our residents in their homes and
avoid a premature move.
The solution was to become designated by the state of North
Carolina as a Multi-unit Assisted Housing with Services
community. This essentially means that we are an independent
living community where residents do not require supervision or
continuous care but may require some personal care or nursing
from an outside agency.
The Resident Care Program is the assistance you need, when you
need it. These services, both healthcare and non-healthcare,
allow you to age in place or recuperate effortlessly after a
hospital stay or surgery within the comfort of your own home.
Resident Services offered by the New Forum Property Management
team include:
• Weekly, Bi-Weekly & Monthly Housekeeping
• A la carte Housekeeping
• Emergency Response System
• Meal Plans for Daily Diners
Additionally, we’ve teamed up with leaders in our industry to
ensure our residents get nothing but the best in service.
