Our Experience

My mom's overall experience at New Forest Haven Assisted Living has been good. [Name removed] is an outstanding and caring Director. The CNAs and other staff are good to great. I have found the Assisted Living building to be well cared for, comfortable and clean. Everyone has been welcoming and friendly. The food is just okay, but I think New Forest Haven is aware of this. My mom's studio apartment is nice and the level of care has been refreshing. New Forest worked to create a plan that was affordable.

Peace of mind ..

When we visited your facility everyone was helpful and knowledgeable about placing our father in an assisted living environment. We wanted a safe comfortable place where our father would feel welcomed and safe. Your staff was so friendly and answered all our questions. They showed dad around and made him feel at ease! We are so very happy with placing our father at your facility. We are thankful to all the wonderful staff that care for him..,

My Experience

I was previously a resident at New Forest Haven Assisted Living. There have been 9 of us move out because of a resident who moved in November of 2023. He has physically assaulted one person, threatened another and the police have been called numerous times by fellow residents. Management will not make him move, but have threatened.

First off, we'd like to thank you for the five star review! With that said, we are open to addressing any concerns with residents. It is not our policy to tolerate inappropriate behavior within our community, and our administration has been working with this resident for some time to rectify the situation. Sometimes, these situations take time to resolve, but we are working diligently with our executive director and regional administration to best resolve this problem. We thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any further questions, please feel free to discuss your concerns with Ashley Murphy, the Director of our community, by calling her at (512) 667-0351.

Review for New Forest Haven Assisted Living

I am not happy with what happened with Forest Heaven. I was disgusted with their service, and they took an $800 deposit off me, and never did anything for me if that's how they care about future tenants. I am glad I never moved there and I would never recommend them to anyone.

Overall a very positive experience

Housekeeping needs more staff to be able to provide weekly service consistently. Maintenance requests have to be followed up regularly by resident and/or family member to ensure work is completed in a timely manner. I supplement fresh fruit and veggies for my mom, as the dining room doesn't have a salad or fruit station. Usually just a hot veggie, apples, oranges, and bananas are provided with meals. She also likes that they have an assisted living facility on campus if needed in the future.

Thank you for your review and input. I will forward your concerns to the proper directors. The dining room has added a chef salad and fruit plate with cottage cheese as always available items. Our bistro that is open M-F 2-3 offers fresh fruit skewers and a salmon Caesar salad that your mother could try. We hope that these additions will add to her health and enjoyment.

Remodel in progress

There has been quite a turnover of staff but that can be expected from the sale of the facility right before our move. And in the process there has been updating and remodeling of the facility. They are still in the process and the main areas are nice. Apartment size is bigger than other studios. The apartments themselves have not been updated this time yet. Amenities are getting better. Pool, family room, they added a new area in the dinning room for happy hour/gatherings.

Review for New Forest Haven

For a simple individual like my father, it's a roof and it's fine.The maintenance is slow and sloppy, the meal options and service according to my dad is terrible and housekeeping is subpar.He appreciates the elevator and that's his apartment is right next to it. Facilities like this need larger bathrooms for wheelchair bound individuals.

Review for New Forest Haven

I like the floor plan of my apartment, my pets like it here (dog and cat). There's room for improvement in some areas, but there is an effective renter's association to facilitate recommendations. I like the location in relation to the VA hospital.

our families experience

I like the fact that [name removed] is in a community with people her age. Everyone is friendly, and she has made lots of friends. I like the fact there are meals for her to eat and activities like bingo and music that she can dance to. It's a great place! Oh, I also like the fact that there is someone who checks on her every day to make sure she's alright. New Forest Haven is a wonderful retirement community!

has room for improvement

I can make this easy, in the beginning when my father in law moved in it was as great place, I would give every category a 5. Then the facility went through new ownership/management and every category dropped to a 1 or 2. He has moved out.

Very happy we chose New Forest

My loved one is currently a resident at New Forest Haven in Independent Living and overall the experience has been very good for her so far. The staff and the residents are all so very nice and helpful. The move in process was easy. They do need more consistency with the housekeeping. Overall, I would recommend New Forest Haven to others. My mom's apartment is very nice.

Need for changes

During the first months. However, recently the facility was purchased by new. Company and residents report that staff have resigned and food services have declined. Lack of trained staff and supplies have caused problems with transportation and quality of meals. Patients report being served fast food type meals in boxed containers. Hopefully these problems can be resolved and residents won't have to move out.

Great value for the money

The facility is a good value. It is in need of updates but I think those are in the process. A main dryer has been down for awhile, which affects the residents. The food has its ups and downs I think. I don't think everyone can be pleased all the time. Areas for improvement: On the food, some things have been said about some wanting bigger serving sizes for meals.
