Enriched Senior Living

My mother has recently made the move into this community and so far we are comfortable with the care she has been receiving. The staff have a big turn over recently so I am not to familiar with the current staff but I am hoping they stay. She has had no complaints about the meals and participates in the activities she is able too. Overall its been a decent experience and I have high hopes for my mom in this place.

Very nice. Busy feeling - which I liked. People seemed friendly and happy to be there. The activity coordinator seemed like a lot of fun. Room upgrades were nice - it felt clean and fresh - even though it was older.

This was a very nice community. I just did not feel like this was the right fit. I wanted a bigger community and this one is fairly small. One of the residents showed us there apartment and the staff was really good about answering all questions.

The staff that offered the tour at New Forest Estates were very friendly and courteous. They were able to address all of my questions and concerns. The New Forest Estates is an older community but it is very well maintained. They do a good job of keeping nice and clean.

My wife and I am doing very well at this community, we have adjusted very well to it. The community is very well-kept. They come and clean very often, and they are redoing the front of the building to look better. The staff is great, they are very helpful and kind. There are many activities for us to choose. The food is bland at times, but they do serve a well balanced meal. My Ad visor Paul was great, he was amazing with all the help. I recommend this community.

We were looking for a home for my Mom and Dad. Michael [last name removed] 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.

At New Haven Assisted Living of Kyle, LLC their food is terrible. It is just awful. That is where they really need improving. Some of the residents don't see that well and the lighting needs to be improved. It is very dim and the closets don't have lighting. The emergency pull light is the same color as the wall and it's hard for them to find it to use it. There needs to be some contrast. Other than that the people are really nice and helpful. It is a very nice facility. The rooms are big and the bathrooms are also.

We like it. It's good so far.

Nice facility

Overall we're pleased with how things are going at New Forest Estates. My loved one seems to enjoy herself here! It is a nice looking place, and the people are very friendly. However, I do wish they'd have more activities on-site at the independent living portion. Many of the activities take place across the street at the assisted living section, and my loved one doesn't like to make that walk too often.

They have been fine. It's been a rough adjustment. Everyone has been very nice to us. It's kept clean and nice, and I think they do housekeeping once a week in the room. We liked the size of it, it's only got 16 people on each side, and it kind of resembles a home.

This is an overall good community. A good value for the price. The staff is great except for the executive director, [removed]. He is rude and condescending to people. I am impressed with Debra [removed] and Michael [removed]. 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!

M husband can not take part in any activities, because of his condition, but we had a very bad time with another home. This one is way better, the staff is very nice and they make sure that you are taken care of. My husband is in a good shape here. I rated the overall experience of the facility four stars.

I havent had any problems so far. they are caring and supportive on making her feel comfortable. she is really happy so far. the staff go the extra mile to help them out which is awesome.

We toured here when we were looking around. It was awesome. We loved the homey feel they had here. We were concerned about food, we didn't get the impression that they would have enough choices, that my loved one would eat, for good diabetes control. It wasn't the right choice for us, but we loved it.

This place is awesome. I'm not positive the smaller environment will be for dad, but I'm taking him there to look around for himself.

A very lovely small facility. The rooms were great with large closets. I like the smallness of the facility which allows more intimate knowledge of each resident. I have only two negatives: first the lighting is not as bright as I would have liked since my mother has macular degeneration and needs bright lighting; also, residents are checked on in their rooms ever hour. I'm not sure I understand the need for checking so often in an assisted living facility (nursing home, yes) and I know my mother would really dislike such frequent checks.

Excellent first impression--beautiful--Walk in tub great option--Brand new--move in Aug incentive offered--8 to 1 ratio--only 16 residents--nice size rooms--friendly staff--free basic cable--great outdoor space with pond down the hill--small salon on site--20 min drive--

NewForest 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.

Good ratio of caretakers--3 + 1 Mgr for 16 people. End of life facility. Specializes in Memory care. Assists with feeding and prepares soft/puree foods. Private rooms.
