Community Reviews
Unsatisfied with the transportation and activities
reviewed on: 02/20/2014 by Former residentTo start with the positive this is a very nice looking community, and they always keep things very clean and well kept. The food is also decent, they serve 3 meals a day and they are generally healthy. The first problem I ran into was that the community made no effort to integrate the new residents into the community, no welcoming event or party or anything. They also just did not seem to have a lot of activities in general. The main problem was the transportation, which was one of the features they sold me on. They have one bus with 15 seats for a community of well over 100 people. It made me late to appointments more than once, and I've had to wait multiple hours to be picked up. It really was not acceptable.
Good Value
reviewed on: 04/28/2015 by AnonymousThis is an overall good community. A good value for the price. The staff is great except for the executive director, Randy. He is rude and condescending to people. I am impressed with Debra Thomas and Michael Rivera. They are excellent representatives of the community and great advocates for the residents. The food is not the greatest quality but is acceptable. The dining experience is well organized and they do have options for room service. They do have a variety in the menu. There is a pool on the property and a resident dog. The property is near shopping. They are remodeling at this time. There is plenty of parking available. They do have a van and have plenty of outings and trips to appointments within a 6 mile radius. Again a good community!
A great place to call "Home!"
reviewed on: 02/22/2019 by Marlena PomelowI provide Dental Services to numerous Senior Residential homes throughout San Antonio, TX and I would definitely recommend New Forest Estates as one of the best Senior Living homes! Their staff is attentive, always friendly, and they are compassionate about their residents getting top-quality care! Many of the residents that I have seen over the years have always stated how safe and comfortable they feel at New Forest. They express their love for Executive Director, [Name removed], who has a passion for making his residents feel special and receive the best care! This "hidden gem" is a wonderful place to be, and I am confident in referring family's loved ones to New Forest Estates!
March Move
reviewed on: 04/02/2019 by Gilbert ParraMy dad has been welcomed and taken care of when we really needed to place him quickly. [Name removed] has been great to work with during this transition. Would like to suggest transportation options be considered when vehicles are being serviced.
