Key Review Excerpts

The minute he hit the doors of Whispering the nurse knew exactly what was making him so sick, she said it's the feeding. My husband had been back and forth to the hospital at the old location 30 times in one year. He came in weighing 108 lbs now he's at 150lbs.

Long-term resident's family · 2019★★★★

My Step-father was a patient at Wispering Pines for several weeks and received excellent care. The staff was very attentive and compassionate. They were very responsive and informative when we asked questions.

Long-term resident's family · 2019★★★★★

As I passed the residents looked clean, they were dressed, not at all disheveled. I also noticed how clean and "clean-smelling"

Clean record — no deficiencies

A family filed a complaint that led to findings about accident hazards and inadequate supervision, which has been corrected. The facility shows recurring problems with electrical systems and fire safety equipment across multiple surveys, including generator issues appearing three times between 2021-2025. While the facility has correction dates for all deficiencies, the pattern of repeated electrical and fire safety violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that families should inquire about during visits.
