Community Reviews
Excellent independent living facility for a reasonable price.
reviewed on: 02/20/2014 by C RogersNewForest has an excellent on-site director and Pacifica, the corp. owner, is constantly upgrading and repairing the facility. There is good attention to safety and awareness of resident's missing meals. Services are limited as this is an independent living facility. Meals are generally very good and there are options of delivery or pick up. The services our parents have needed most that aren't available are for someone to do laundry and for transportation to doctor/hospital after regular hours and on weekends. It is truly independent living but has many residents with outside care giver's. the service We need most is an on site services coordinator, social worker, counselor or someone familiar with services to the elderly living on just Social Security and heavily subsidized by children! We have difficulty getting help with information about services and additional help with memory care needs. NewForest is excellent as long as the family is able to stay involved on a regular basis.
Friendly Community....Loved it!
reviewed on: 10/23/2015 by Francisca F.My mom and I came by for a tour at this place. The people were really friendly and make you feel welcomed. We were offered lunch and something to drink while we were there. Lunch was good. They provide three meals a day. Throughout my visit, staff members introduced themselves to us and were very helpful. They have activities and provide transportation. This is a place that I would want my mom to live. However, we're still in the early stages of considering retirement living for my mom, but when my mother is ready to make the change this will be top choice. We looked at two other facilities, but we didn't experience the same friendliness and welcoming as New Forest Estates.
Great place
reviewed on: 08/09/2019 by Pat ForbesMy mom is very pleased with her new home at NewForest Estates. The apartment is very nice, the food is great, and the employees have been helpful to her. She is in the Independent Living area. She has a full kitchen and still enjoys cooking some, even though 3 meals a day are provided. I was really pleased that they came to check on her when she did not go to the dining room for two consecutive meals. That makes me feel that they are concerned about her welfare. We really appreciate A Place for Mom referring us to this facility.
Informative & Gracious

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.
