Key Review Excerpts

The Nurses and the whole Staff are amazing and cared for my Father until his passing this Thursday. We could see the other residents involved in activities and playing BINGO. To of the CNA’s would sing his favorite song to him and he would join in.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The thing that stands out above all about Whispering Springs is the heart of the staff. This is evident from all departments, from the moment you enter the building one is welcomed with open arms as though being embraced by a long awaiting family member.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The nurses and CNAs were very attentive and they always communicated with me any updates. I always felt peace of mind when my mom was in their facility.

This facility shows consistent safety and infrastructure challenges, with recurring issues in fire safety systems, building maintenance, and emergency preparedness appearing across all three surveys. The most frequent problems involve smoke detection systems, heating/ventilation equipment, and keeping corridors clear for emergencies. While all deficiencies have been addressed through corrections or approved waivers, the pattern of repeated infrastructure violations suggests ongoing facility maintenance concerns that families should discuss during visits.
