Our Campus: 40-Acre Scenic Setting in East Louisville

At The Forum at Brookside, we are more than just a retirement center. Our park-like campus is situated on 40 acres of rolling, scenic hills with walking trails, a creek, heated indoor pool, gracious dining, coffee shop, a bank, hair salons, a wellness clinic and a library.

Everything revolves around the Pavilion Building, our Clubhouse, where you’ll find formal dining, a Bistro coffee shop, a library, hair salons, an exercise room, and our heated pool. Between our five apartment buildings are connecting lobbies and corridors with mailboxes.

Along with our patio homes and mid-rise apartments, we also have a licensed clinic and home health agency on site.   

Our Homes: Choices of apartments or villa garden homes for retirement living

You can choose from a studio-, one- or two-bedroom apartment, all with full kitchens (dishwashers, disposals, full size stoves, refrigerators with ice makers).  Or, you may want to live in one of our villa patio homes, which range from one-bedroom/den up to two bedroom/den with a separate dining room. All have full kitchens, as well. Most villas also have either a carport or enclosed garage.  All residences have a Lifeline remote emergency call system.

Pets are welcome in your home at The Forum at Brookside!

Our New Residents

When you move to The Forum at Brookside, our move-in coordinator handles every detail down to your phone and newspaper. We even offer a down-sizing service that can assist you in choosing items to bring and items to sell before moving.

Our resident "hospitality committee," escorts and dines with all newcomers for the first few nights of residency. We also have a long-running “Newcomers Club” for residents who have lived at our retirement community less than a year. It meets monthly and has a variety of social and educational opportunities, along with tours of Louisville for residents from out of town.

New residents are introduced in the weekly newsletter, which includes their bio and interests, which allows “birds of a feather” to get together.   Friendship, connections, comfort, and the security of knowing that help is close at hand, are all benefits that residents at The Forum at Brookside enjoy.
