Thorough review from current resident
reviewed on: 05/06/2019 by Sue Ellen LewisReview of Assisted Living Pacifica New Forest Estates, San Antonio, TX. I am a baby boomer who recently made the transition from independent living (IL) to assisted living (AL) at Pacifica New Forest Estates in San Antonio, Texas. It was very difficult for me to admit that I couldn’t take care of myself. As a public relations professional for more than 50 years, I have always been very independent and self supporting. I am fortunate that New Forest Estates had an opening in their assisted-living facility. I moved here early in January and now wish that I had made the move MUCH sooner. The Spanish hacienda style AL building is homey and attractively decorated. The studio apartments are small (about 400 ft.²) but well designed for those of us who need a little something extra. There are large windows, a modest Galley Kitchen, with microwave and mini fridge provided. Plenty of built in storage is handy for kitchen and other items. Luxuriate in the walk-in shower, a part of the large fully outfitted bathroom, which comes equipped with a built-in seat, hand held sprayer, and plenty of grab bars. The closet is large and easily accessible.. AL has many types of activities, such as art, music and outings using the New Forest Estates handicapped-accessible bus.. There is a cozy dining room and several living areas complete with large televisions and a baby grand piano, as well as a library and craft room. The building is secure 27/7, with a professional always on duty. I like the staff here very much. They all work to make us comfortable and happy. I feel like I am part of an extended family. AL staff members include Marlene, Cathy, illyana, Janie, Diane, Jessica P, Erica, Hannah, Valerie, Jessica A, Julie, Francis, Lisa, Vanessa, Patricia, Matthew, and Desiree. We AL residents also have access to the large IL swimming pool area as well as an in-house beauty shop. It is a pet friendly facility, allowing cats, small leash-trained dogs, and birds. All meals, Housekeeping and laundry are included as part of the reasonable rent, along with cable TV. So-o-o, what are you waiting for? Executive Director Michael Anthony Rivera handles AL admissions and would be delighted to hear from you. His phone number is 2103963162 and email address is ed.newforest@pacificaseniorliving.com Don’t miss out! – Sue Ellen Lewis

Personable staff
reviewed on: 11/17/2017 by AnonymousThe staff here is very personable and they care about their tenants. My mother is always checked on frequently in her unit. The size of her unit is wonderful, it has a good size living area, with the kitchen in the middle, a walk in closet, and other good features. There is also lot of activities offered: games, bingo, Yahtzee, there are exercise activities like a walking club, and there always five to ten things offered happening every day. There is also a hair salon on site.
