tour review
We had a in person tour with Whispering Pines and it seemed like it is drama with cliques that the mgt. gets involved in. It's silly. It has a lovely physical environment and the residents seemed happy, but it has gotten expensive. However it would have been our second choice but they just did not seem as flexible with helping our friend get in there financially.

Would Recommend
Our loved one was only there a week and then was hospitalized for 3 weeks...unfortunately we had to move him out of Whispering Pines and into a skilled care facility. But based on our brief experience there, Whispering Pines was great. We found that the staff treated you like family. And the accommodations were so nice. I would recommend it to other families.

Overall pleased
Overall nice place. The food is ok, but we were told it was all homemade--I do not believe that everything is-- maybe some. The menu is regulated by the corporate office in Washington DC. There are not as many fresh fruits or vegetables on a regular basis as we would like. Cleanliness is good. Staff has been nice.

Great place to live
Hello, I wanted to move my my from Florida and immediately I knew Whispering Pines was the place for her. Every person I met was friendly and enjoying life. I was very concerned about making this transition. The staff stood by me the entire way. My mom has now been living here for three months. She is now really enjoying life again. After being locked down in isolation she spent most days in her room. Now she is enjoying the activities everyday. I have had many questions along the way and the staff has always been quick to respond. They all work together and are helpful and friendly. The facility is always clean. I go over a lot lol. I could not have found a better place. Everyday I feel comforted and blessed to have moved my mom here.

Extremely pleased
We chose Whispering Pines because the price range and also the fact that they have 24 hour staff. They have live in management which was a huge plus. We were not ready for assisted living just yet, but the fact that someone is there on the premise at all times made us feel more comfortable. Everyone is extremely friendly and willing to help out in anyway that they can. They communicate with family really well which I love. I even have a couple of personal phone numbers from the staff. I would definitely recommend Whispering Pines.

Highly recommended
They rock over here, we are so satisfied. They have long term staff who have worked here a long time and they are very kind people. They have a ton of activities provided for the residents. The food is beyond amazing. On lunch they actually take your order and it is like being at a restaurant. The chef and the sous chef take their position very seriously and they ask for feedback. I really appreciate how hard they work to make the food good. I would most definitely recommend Whispering Pines to others.

Tour experience
Everyone was very friendly; reported good food. But felt more like an assisted living facility. No residents outside apartments the morning we were there. My stepdaughter particularly disliked the heating system. Motel like heater in the living room and electric floor radiator in the bedroom. And whispering Pines is only eight years old, so I consider this a cheap way by the management company to build a facility.

Highly Recommend
My sister and I spent quite a lot of time reading reviews and comparing retirement communities for our mother in order to make the right decision, so we felt it was important to take the time to write our own review for Whispering Pines Gracious Living. During the time our mother was at WP, the staff and management team could not have been more caring, kind and attentive with her. The staff checked on her regularly, encouraged her to participate in the many activities and kept in touch with us regarding any concerns on a weekly basis. In particular, I would like to thank Windy Read for going above and beyond to make mom feel at home and cared for. The facility is bright, clean and well within a reasonable cost range for the amenities offered. We would highly recommend WP and feel lucky our mom was a part of this community.

Small Community with Good Interactions with The Staff
It is a small community. It has a lot of good features. The residents and staff interactions have been good. The staff work hard to please the residents. There are three meals a day that are served in the dining room. The servers will ask the residents what they would like to eat, and bring it to the table for the residents. There is a main menu and alternatives for the residents to choose from.

Just What Our Loved One Needed
This has been a fabulous experience for our loved one who is in the community. My loved one has housekeeping services, a friendly and welcoming community, three meals a day that are provided and this makes the family and my loved one happy. The staff are great to work with if we have questions or concerns. They are eager to help in any way they can. Changing and laundry of linens, all the meals, the room, utilities, and transportation are included in the monthly rate. The only additional charge would be secure internet connection in your loved one's room. I never would have thought that we would be able to find this type of environment for my loved one in their budget.

A Place for Mom has scored Whispering Pines 9.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
