Community Reviews
liked what I saw
reviewed on: 12/02/2014 by AnonymousI checked out New Forest Estates and from all I was able to observe I was very impressed and would give them a high rating. My loved one ended up staying in the hospital longer than expected and as such they never stayed at New Forest Estates so my experience was very limited, from from that limited experience I liked what I saw.
The food can be a hit or miss
reviewed on: 12/19/2017 by AnonymousThis place is doing very well with caring for my Mother-in-law. She seems to like it and is quite happy. The food can be a hit or miss; sometimes things are really good and sometimes it can be left out a little too long. It’s never been horrible, but it’s a cafeteria type environment. They do have a variety of things that you can choose from, though. The facility will take trips to various shopping locations and they’ll have groups come in during the holidays (like choirs and girl scouts) to entertain and visit. There’s a decent variety to keep everyone entertained. Overall, it’s a decent facility and she seems to be happy.
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.

reviewed on: 10/23/2015 by Diana GonzalezWe moved our mother into this community on January of this year after a tragedy at a different retirement community here in San Antonio. She has truly flourished since then and has made so many new friends. Every time I have gone to visit her, I notice management addressing her by name, kindly engaging her and making her laugh. NewForest Estates is a fun community that has genuinely embraced my mom. I hope to keep her there for many years to come.
