I am very satisfied here and plan to make this my final home. The staff goes above and beyond to help us. Although it's an older facility, it's much more to my liking than my prior facility- Inspire.

Staff was very professional & accommodating. Went out of their way to assist and we're very thankful for their compassion and empathy. I would certainly recommend this facility to any family considering independent living options.

Mom's home

The outside of the building is pretty well maintained. On the inside, newly remodeled, everything is pretty well maintained except for the elevator (there is only one for the whole building) which has been out of service three times in the last year and is now being replaced. My 95 year old mother lives on the 3rd floor. She is in good shape and still has trouble getting up and down the stairs for doctor's appointments and other activities. The replacement of the elevator is supposed to take up to three weeks! Is this not a health and fire hazard? The washer and dryer facilities are inadequate for the number of people using them. There is always a machine or two waiting for replacement or repairs which could take months because the corporate wheels turn slowly. The food is inconsistent in quality. I am having to buy more and more food for my Mom to fix in her apartment because she can't or won't eat what is served. What's on the menu is rarely what shows up on the table.

Mom is Satisfied

First, I want to clarify that it's a 55+ Community. They allow caregivers to come in and help residents. There is no Assisted Living or Memory Care available. They do offer a "Lifeline" type of necklace for all residents, that's included. The current monthly cost my mother pays is approximately $[fee removed] for a 1 bedroom. They do have some Studio apartments that cost less and 2 bedrooms units that cost more. I give each and all categories a rating of 4 to 5. So far (it's been a year), my mother is satisfied with her accommodations. She is 93 years old and still handles her physical and mental daily activities. She does use a scooter to assist with her mobility issues. She no longer drives a car and I am her 'go-to' for anything she needs. I rely on Amazon Prime to deliver (sometimes next day) to her any items she needs. I'm about a 45 minute drive away from her. She likes me to pick her up for doctor appointments. But, they do have a small bus she could use that's free. Overall, my mother and I are pleased! They do offer residents a 'finders' fee for new guests that residents' recruit.

A 5 for all categories. It is a very nice place. My cousin is very happy there and he says the food especially is great. He has nothing but good things to say about the management and the other dwellers.

Wonderful Place with a Great Staff

The most friendly/helpful staff. They really do their best to assist every person's needs. The price is great and affordable. Activities daily. Transportation driver is awesome. He really cares about the safety of the people. My mom is in a studio. It's the perfect size for her. I may move her into a 1-bedroom apartment in the future.

Review for Holiday Columbia Pines

Staff is wonderful at Holiday Columbia. It has been a good experience for my dad since moving out his home to a senior living community. I love that he has private balcony on his apartment where he can go outside anytime. It really helps his mental health. I would recommend Holiday Columbia. The only area for improvement is the dining experience but they have new ownership that is working on resolving these issues.

Review of mother's living conditions.

My elderly mother is completely satisfied with this place. She moved in [date removed] All areas are good for her. Too many issues at the last place. The care promised and provided was not up to standard.

Good Senior Living

My loved one is currently a resident at Holiday Forest Pines and everything is going well for him at this facility so far! My loved one really likes his just enough space! He is also glad about the remodel. He would like a little bit larger portions of food for the meals. Other than that, this facility is a good fit. I would recommend Holiday Forest Pines to family and friends.

A great place for FAMILY

I really liked the fact that every person that I talked to was positive, reassuring, and excited for me and my mom. They were all welcoming. I made sure to talk to people that currently reside there. [name removed] is really nice and explained everything in detail. She was patient and answered all of my questions. The tour and brochure were very detailed. The staff, [names removed] were extremely professional and helpful. Sorry to ramble, but I truly love everything about the place. Glad that renovations are being done. The carpet in the front entrance really needs to be replaced. I would encourage anyone looking for a place for them or their aging family member to stop by for a visit. Talk to the residents. Eat the food. Take a tour. The staff is so friendly and always remembers my name and my mom's name and even her room number.

Holiday Forest Pines review

Overall experience - mildly pleased. The community is very clean. Felt that the staff was just doing their assigned job with no extra zeal. My sister has Covid at present and they have made sure she has food delivered to her room and that she is safe which was the purpose for getting her to reside in a home. As I meet other residents they all seem to agree that the food is not up to par for a tasty meal. I cannot comment on the activities as my Sister has not participated in them at present.

Overall a nice community

When it comes to the cleanliness they are currently doing renovations. The kitchen is short staffed at time and the community is pricey and has less assistance with care. However, having a private balcony from his apartment to sit on really is helping my dad's mental health. The staff is very friendly. If we have any concerns or issues they handle it quickly and professionally.

Would not recommend.

The overall experience with Holiday Forest Pines has been poor, and the community is dirty. When it comes to the friendliness of the staff, they are somewhat friendly but uncooperative at times. The quality of care is poor and well as the meals - those are very poor. The activities are not interesting for me. The value for cost is a low value.

We had a great tour with Forest Pines, I really liked this facility. It was smaller and had a very homey feeling to it. All of the staff we interacted with were so friendly.
