My family and I have been on the hunt for an independent senior community for our Dad and we fell in love with Forrest Pines. The building is kept clean and the grounds are well maintained. The apartments are new, spacious, and affordable. Lora & Shane in the office have gone above and beyond to help our Dad get settled and we appreciate it so much! He is just moving in this week but we are very confident in our choice because of their excellent level of customer service.
