Every single person I have spoken with here has been so nice and helpful, from the director to the med techs. I can call 24 hours a day to check on my loved one and this facility is so clean. So far, we couldn't be happier with it.

Worst place ever! Bugs, pathways that elderly can fall on. Overpriced and just a gateway to their sister property … assisted living!

We've had the pleasure of attending many events at my mom's assisted living community, and I am consistently moved by the warmth and dedication of the staff. Every event is thoughtfully planned and filled with joy, and it's clear how much effort goes into making residents and families feel included and cared for.

What touches me the most is how deeply the staff cares for the residents. From the smallest gestures to the everyday support, they go above and beyond to make sure every need is met with kindness and respect. I see their dedication daily -- in the way they speak to the residents, in their patience, and in the extra moments they take to make someone smile.

I wish I could name each and every staff member, because they all deserve recognition. It truly takes a special kind of person to do this work with so much heart, and this team is full of them. Given my mom's situation, I can honestly say there's no better place she could be. We are so grateful.

The staff at this facility (especially Jessica and Misty the MedTechs) are excellent and always give great feedback regarding any issues. Choosing a good place for your loved one is never an easy thing, but Newforest Estates is really top tier. The residents get along great with the staff and are well taken care of.

Me and my wife have been living at New forest estates for a little over two months at this point. I worked closely with Susan and Michael before moving in and they were thorough, caring and committed. All of the promises they made me regarding the services they offer, the flavorful food, the friendly residents and their commitment to the residents have been kept. Michael keeps an open door all day long so I go visit with him, talk to him about anything and he never rushes me. My wife and I are thankful to Susan and her team, they make us feel cared for. a very different feeling from where we were living before that claimed to care for their veterans. Most of the men here are veterans like me and I like that because we share stories and drink at the happy hours. Best of all They let me move in with my dogs in a apartment that is a couple of steps away from the court yard. Thanks for treating us well and for keeping your word. I recommend this place to all my friends and some have already moved in here. This is home until the end.
