Great people, poor facilities.

The people have been great. The food has been bad. There are little to no organized activities. Basically Bingo and that's it. The hot water hasn't worked in weeks. There are roomer going around that the place is going bankrupt.

Bad Fit and Unresolved Issues

It seemed like the right fit at first. But there seems to be issues that cannot be resolved. My sister and my brother have spoken to staff numerous times. We are still waiting for the cable to get connected Her dishwasher has yet to be replaced Issue with her key to her door and the door sticking. And recently there was an issue with her getting served in the dining hall. My sister and brother had to intervene and finally got that resolved for the dining hall....I believe We are still waiting on the other items. She gets late notices yet my sister had writes my mother's bills and delivers the check to the front. I really don't know what to think or which way to turn. My brother ended up having to do her shelf repair in her closet because it was sagging so bad and we asked that maintenance come up and they never did. Also my brother had to add shelves in her closet in the kitchen for food storage because they never did that either.

Our tour experience

I was able to have an in person tour and it was not very interesting at all. New Forest did not really stand out, it is in a woodsy area and it just seemed like it needs a lot of repairs.

my review of New Forest Estates Independent Living,

we toured this community and the staff was very friendly. It did not fit our needs because the buildings were separate and you had to go outside to get from building to building. There also was a strong odor that we smelled in the community.
