Community Reviews
forever
reviewed on: 10/23/2015 by Elma Norriswell new forest means its a wonderful place to be. Staff are friendly, I like the fact that its full of friendly people. You have to be a friend to make friends. I have no complaint of any department of new forest. I would like to stay here until the day I move on & I'm 86 now. Its really a home to me, not just a place to stay.
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.
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.
Review of NewForest Estates - San Antonio, TX

Coming Up on a Year
reviewed on: 10/23/2015 by L. ShattuckI was a little worried about moving into a retirement community at first. I have always been a very independent business woman but this was all new to me. The entire transition was made so simple thanks to my son Tom and Michael Rivera in marketing. My son was very thorough and Michael was very transparent and we couldn't have made a better decision. I have made many friends and I can always count on management to be there when I need them. I have been living here for almost 1 year so far. I was especially reluctant to move during the holidays but I couldn't have picked a better time due to all the activities that were going on in December.
