123 reviews on Google“WhiteStone is a highly regarded Life Plan Community that receives overwhelming praise from independent living residents for its active social calendar, responsive maintenance team, and welcoming atmosphere. While many families report excellent experiences with rehab and nursing care, a small but vocal group of families has raised serious concerns regarding communication, responsiveness to basic needs, and meal quality in the care center.”

Key Review Excerpts
“The physical therapists and others in the rehabilitation area are very skilled and have helped me with a number of issues in the four years I have lived here.”
“The nursing staff became like our family- they laughed with us, cried with us, and supported us throughout the process. The memory care team is phenomenal- we feel so blessed to have had their support.”
“The place was clean and the staff was nice to your face, but they never picked up the phone, my mother when she could would call me on her cell phone complaining she didn’t have basic needs like water.”
