At The Forum at Rancho San Antonio, we recognize that wellness extends beyond physical health – it includes emotional, intellectual and spiritual well-being, too.
That’s why our Life Plan Community embraces diversity and offers a wide variety of programs that support residents in practicing their faith, connecting with cultural traditions and celebrating meaningful holidays.
At The Forum Senior Living, all are welcome. We are dedicated to cultivating a warm and inclusive atmosphere where every resident feels cherished and respected. Our community embraces individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, religions, and identities. We have carefully crafted an environment where residents can feel truly valued while celebrating their unique culture and faith. Our commitment to inclusivity ensures that The Forum is a place where everyone can feel at home, regardless of their personal background or beliefs.
Honoring Faith and Culture Through Community Programs
We’re proud to provide an environment where residents can continue their religious customs and explore new faith experiences. Here are just a few opportunities facilitated by The Forum and practiced by residents of diverse spiritual backgrounds:
Lunar New Year celebrations
Every year, residents and team members come together to celebrate the Lunar New Year with vibrant and educational events. These festivities include engaging presentations on the history and significance of the holiday, cooking demonstrations and a traditional Chinese banquet dinner. Residents also enjoy live performances of traditional Chinese music and the exciting Lion Dance, creating a joyful, immersive experience that honors cultural heritage and fosters community connection.
Jewish holiday celebrations
The Forum also hosts three major Jewish dinner celebrations throughout the year, including Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah and Passover. These events provide a meaningful way for residents to honor sacred traditions, enjoy delicious meals and share the joy of the holidays with friends and neighbors.
Resident-run outreach and faith groups
Our community is enriched by resident-led initiatives that reflect the diverse interests and backgrounds of those who call The Forum home. Two standout programs include:
ALPHA (Non-denominational, international outreach program)
Organized by residents, ALPHA offers a space for non-denominational spiritual exploration and fellowship. It’s an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and connect with others in a welcoming environment.
JCIG (Jewish Community Interest Group)
This resident-run group provides a vibrant array of programs that celebrate Jewish heritage and faith. From presentations like “The First Jews in America” to movie showings such as Yentl and A Real Pain, JCIG keeps Jewish culture thriving. Recently, they’ve also begun offering Shabbat services once a month as an opportunity for residents to gather, reflect and practice their faith together.
Holistic Wellness Rooted in Culture and Faith
By offering these and many other programs and celebrations, The Forum at Rancho San Antonio helps residents nurture their cultural connections and spiritual wellness, which is an essential part of leading a balanced and fulfilling life. Whether through worship services, cultural events or resident-led discussion groups, there are countless ways to stay connected to your faith and find a sense of belonging in our community.
