Community Reviews
A great place to call "Home!"
reviewed on: 02/22/2019 by Marlena PomelowI provide Dental Services to numerous Senior Residential homes throughout San Antonio, TX and I would definitely recommend New Forest Estates as one of the best Senior Living homes! Their staff is attentive, always friendly, and they are compassionate about their residents getting top-quality care! Many of the residents that I have seen over the years have always stated how safe and comfortable they feel at New Forest. They express their love for Executive Director, [Name removed], who has a passion for making his residents feel special and receive the best care! This "hidden gem" is a wonderful place to be, and I am confident in referring family's loved ones to New Forest Estates!
Expensive
reviewed on: 09/04/2013 by DonnaIt was expensive. It appeared to be very nice but you don't really know how it's going to be until you move in there.
Little Things I Didn't Like
reviewed on: 10/28/2013 by DaughterI was really leery of this one. It was definitely a no when I went to go see it. The apartments were all off a breeze ways sort of thing and I felt like that might be a fall risk if it rained. There were a lot of little things that I just didn't feel easy about.
Consistency
reviewed on: 04/01/2019 by AnonymousThis community is full of people who genuinely care about their residents. I see upper management there on the weekends, the nurse on site almost 7 days a week and front desk staff who drop everything to help my mother. Michael leads a wonderful team and I am happy to see the same faces over the years, management never changes! Lisa (business office) and Sunny (maintenance) have been here as long as I've known Michael. From the moment I moved my mother in I knew I would finally have peace of mind and that is something I stand by nearly 5 years later.
Great place!
reviewed on: 08/03/2017 by Ashley MartinMy mother-in-law recently stayed at Newforest Estates in Assisted Living for a respite stay. She was here for about a month after having back surgery. The care and compassion given to her was out of this world. They have several employees who have worked there for over 10 years. The facility is always Clean and there is never a bad smell. The activity director keeps activities going all the time. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for assistance for their loved one. We could not have dreamed of a better experience.
