We live near one of the houses that this company uses for their assisted living. I can't say enough how impressed we are on how they keep the house so well manicured and clean. We noticed that they go to great pains to keep the street clear of cars parked at the facility. They are always in the driveways and are very friendly to us. Also, no problems with any of the residences, they look forward to seeing people on the street waving to them and stopping to chat. I have had experience with 2 of our family members living in their other facilities and very very pleased on how well they were taken

Terrible neighbor! Staff is rude. Management is not responsive. Constant problems with parking. Garbage and medical waste is regularly left the street. People in their care run away(escape) quite often without the staff even noticing their gone. Treatment of elderly patients while outside is appalling, so one can only imagine what happens inside. I would not trust these people to take care of a dog, much less an elderly family member.

Do you have a family member in need of daily living assistance? Consider one of Whispering Pines various locations. We live next door to one of their homes. The residents are well taken care of by the conscientious and capable employees and everyone is respectful to their neighbors. They are an asset to our neighborhood. Great job!!
