August 30, 2024Thank you for your review! We respect and care for our residents, and it's always an honor to serve the seniors in San Antonio. We are working continuously on improving aspects of our community and appreciate your feedback! Thank you again!
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.

June 12, 2024Thank you for your comments. We are pleased that you have had a good experience at New Forest Haven. Our dining services department strives to provide delicious and nutritious menus for our residents.
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..,

June 7, 2024Thank you for entrusting us to care for your father. I am so very glad that he is enjoying living with us and that it gives you peace of mind.
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.

May 31, 2024First 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.
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.

May 21, 2024We sincerely want to address your concerns, especially the deposit. We care very much about our residents and strive to provide quality services and care. Please contact me at 210-899-5656 to address the unresolved deposit.
I have a very pleasant experience with New Forest Haven Senior Living. I am pleased with the amount of amenities that this facility offers. My mother felt very comfortable right away when she first toured the facility.

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.

April 24, 2024Thank 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.
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.

April 24, 2024Thank you for your review and input. We are committed to providing an environment designed to meet the comfort, interests, and tastes of our residents at a price that they deserve.
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The staff was nice and New Forest Haven was a nice community. The price was good. We felt the drive was too far from family and medical needs for our loved one.
Helpful and professional staff members. I live far away and my observations have been limited, but I do think that iIt would be helpful to establish procedures for Amazon and other delivery services to have secure drop off facilities.

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.
