New Forest Haven

Linda

My friend moved into New Forest Haven. It's an apartment-type living for senior adults. They get three meals a day. They have access to washing machines on each floor. A bus will take them a couple of times a week to different places that the residents need to go or want to go. They do provide transportation for doctor visits. The people I talked with were very helpful. I'd ask for directions because it's a very large place. I was there at the time that my friend did have lunch one day. It looked good. She's always had good things to say about the food. The facility has always been very neat and clean. If anyone has a small pet, they do allow pets, but they charge a monthly fee. They may have more than one pool, as I can see from where her room was. They do have games like bingo and some things that they offer.

I'm in New Forest Haven. They're good. They have the best location and the best price. I'm still kind of new here. I've gotten involved with some of the activities. I'm very happy with the food. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner have all been good. The walls are thick enough to where you don't have to worry that much about making too much noise or too much sound for other folks. They seem to keep the facilities clean. I'm happy with my apartment. One reason I chose it is it had all the amenities that I needed. It's got a refrigerator, a stove, plenty of cabinet space, a full cabinet, and stuff like that. As part of the cost, they have wi-fi, which meets my needs. It's not too far from the old location where I had my home, so I'm familiar with the area. I'm ex-military, so I go to the Veteran's Administration, the VA Hospital here, which is very close and there's also a VA clinic, which is very close. I'm in between both of them so I can go to doctor's appointments very quickly and very easily and don't have to go very far. They had a full apartment with everything that I needed. I was impressed when I first came based on what it was going to cost me. The staff has been courteous. The people I've interacted with the most in the beginning are the salespeople, but the past few days I've been dealing mostly with the kitchen staff. We are fed sit-down meals. The waitresses and waiters have been very good and very courteous. I have no complaints. This facility is independent living. They have a separate building for assisted living. It's made up of about nine buildings altogether, eight of which are all attached to each other. It's pretty big. It's kind of like two big squares. There's a building one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and you have to sometimes go between one building to another to do things. I'm located in Building Six. I'm close to where most of the stuff is in the main building where the cafeteria is and everything. It takes a little while to understand the layout because it's a little complex, but once you get used to it, it's easier.

New Forest Haven had 4 different buildings and to go from one building to the next, you had to go outside because there were no covered walkways. They had swimming pools and little courtyards. The meals were included, but the apartments seemed a little bit dated. They were minimally furnished with a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a stove. The staff who gave me the tour was likable.
