Community Reviews
Soon to be resident of New Forest Estates
reviewed on: 08/23/2017 by AnonymousI have visited the New Forest Estates Independent Senior Living facility several times over the past 2-years. Michael Rivera assisted me every time answering my questions and guiding me in my process of selection. Michael was patient, kind, insightful, reassuring, supportive and generous with his time in answering my questions and misgivings about senior living. I've visited several independent living properties but none measured up to New Forest, especially for the price and value. Due to Michael's guidance I will soon be a resident of New Forest Estates Independent senior Living.
A Very Positive Environment
reviewed on: 03/18/2015 by AnonymousNew Forest Estates is a very warm and caring community. My Auntie is in the independent living section there and is very happy. She gets all of the attention she needs when anything arises. They do have trips and excursions available to residents. They are in the process of remodeling at this time. The food is very good and the dining room experience is well organized. They do have safety alarms in place. The only thing I might not agree with is the price they are charging residents for internet access.
No cooking or driving
reviewed on: 10/23/2015 by Patricia FitzgeraldI attended an open house our at NewForest Estates, I was not ready to move in yet when my best friend of over thirty years informed me she was moving back to San Antonio. I informed her that I had the perfect place for her to move into. She loved her new apartment and the help. When I was ready I also moved in and I have been here one year. I love to eat my meals with my friend and I am glad that we do not have to drive anywhere to see each other. I am safe here and the best part is I do not have to cook! The staff is nice and helpful. There is transportation outings if I need to get anything.
Loving Home...Away from Home....
reviewed on: 10/23/2015 by Dee MartinezI'm a current resident and former RN, I like the fact that staff cares about the welfare of the residents. I get a call everyday to check to see if I'm doing ok. I enjoy the meals a quite deal and the food is not overloaded with a lot of condiments, which helps with my diet. Staff is very attentive, courteous, and very friendly. I like that I can use New Forest transportation when my kids are unable to take me to my doctor's appointments. Also, taking advantage of activities that are offered is conducive to having great health and socialization. Parties are out of this world and brings the residents together for a good time. Entertainment is super marvelous. Tenants are friendly and have a high level of caliber. I can't praise New Forest Estates enough!!!
