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.
Better deal.
reviewed on: 03/31/2019 by Cindy TurnerMom moves into NewForest Estates Independent Living soon from a very nice but different Independent Living complex so we have something to compare. Newforest offers more amenities and a bigger living space for several hundred dollars less each month. The staff is friendly, the complex and grounds are well maintained, and is located in a quiet area.
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.
You will enjoy
reviewed on: 07/22/2016 by Tony BowmanGreat home for Mom and Dad. Staff is super. Dining is great. Wish they had found it earlier. Can't say it any better Tony Bowman PS. This is an unpaid endorsement. LOL
Nice Place and Friendly
reviewed on: 02/20/2016 by RunnelsWe were looking for a home for my Mom and Dad. Michael Rivera was such a delight. He showed us the apartment and explained all the amenities of the facility. He has a wonderful way of making you feel at ease and respected. He rccommended a mover who did an excellent job. Overall Mom and Dad are very happy The only area that nas room for improvement would be the dining room and the waitress service. The food is very good, but the dining room is a mess. No supervision and very disorganized.
