As an assisted living facility, Discovery Village At The Forum is regulated under Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) rather than the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) nursing home certification program. Because of this classification, the facility does not carry CMS Overall, Health Inspection, Staffing, or Quality Measure star ratings, which are specific to Medicare and Medicaid certified skilled nursing facilities.

Assisted living facilities in Florida generally operate under a private-pay model for residential services. Payment options typically include private funds, long-term care insurance policies, and in some cases veterans benefits programs such as Aid and Attendance. Assisted living facilities are generally not covered under traditional Medicare, which is designed to cover skilled nursing and medical services. Medicaid coverage for assisted living in Florida may be available through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program, depending on individual eligibility. Interested parties should contact the facility directly at (239) 989-0445 to confirm accepted payment sources and any associated costs. Because CMS star ratings are not applicable to assisted living facilities, a direct comparison of Discovery Village At The Forum to Florida state averages for CMS-rated nursing homes is not applicable in this context. However, Florida maintains active regulatory oversight of assisted living facilities through AHCA, which conducts routine and complaint-based inspections. Lee County is one of Florida's more populous counties along the Gulf Coast, and the Fort Myers area contains a substantial concentration of senior care facilities serving the region.
