New Forest Haven Review, Good people but poor facility.
The Administrative staff has been outstanding. The maintenance and kitchen staff has been dreadful. Hot water was out for over a month!

She moved there. It's pretty good. Insist on the leasing agent to give you enough time without hurrying you, have the person considering moving there to see it for themselves in person, make sure you see the unit you will be leasing and not "one similar", TRY THE FOOD, speak to other residents and see if they are getting enough food, consult the the Care person prior to moving in so you understand all expenses, get really clear on how transportation works there.

Friendly staff
The staff is good although the activities director could be better as well as the activities. Things are slow to get fixed but eventually they get it done. The food is not good mostly but sometimes they get it right. Cleanliness is average. I have a two bedroom. I like the location of my apt except it's a little far from the laundry room for me to get my laundry there. It would be great to have a washer/dryer in my apt. I would look for a place that does but it would be more expensive and I can barely make ends meet now. Plus I have friends here.

Small community, great place to live, and exactly the amenities that I applied for.
Everything and everyone in this small community is helpful and informative about any issues you may have. Anything of concern is answered right away and my room is exactly perfect. My bedroom is for one or you can put two people. with bed, dishwasher, and stove. Washer and dryer is on site and just around the corner of my room. Three meals a day and portion meals to my dietary needs. Also included is physical therapy and a workout instructor that I use, as well.

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.

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.

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.
