I would say I felt very at home and confident that my mom was being taken care of with friendly care workers and med-techs. People in the offices were very helpful and friendly and took the time with you. The activities kept my mom busy with things to do. At this time of life as you get older, it can be challenging but I feel her care here was worth the money at that time.... Read more

October 12, 2024Hello, Rhonda. Thank you for sharing how much your dad has enjoyed living at Whispering Winds of Apple Valley!
My loved one states that the staff come into their apartment at will. They sometimes knock but enter before my loved one can get to the door. To some degree I can understand this but my loved one is pretty independent and able to do most things without help. There seems to be what I would call your typical high school “pack” of friends. If you are new on the block you just can’t sit in a vacant seat because it is reserved for someone’s friend who may or may not show up for their meal. Often times those at the end of the meal line are told that “we are out of the planned meal” so they get a substitute which usually seems to be a hamburger. Please keep in mind that I have not been there at meal time but I hear my loved ones complaints. There seems to be some communication issues between staff and clients. Activities seem to get cancelled when too few clients sign up for them. It also seems that clients are unaware of activities before they happen, thus the client has no option to attend or not attend. They do have a television monitor that provides information but I think when dealing with older folks, they sometimes can’t understand or even see what is being offered. I think communication to the family member(s) could be better

October 7, 2024Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We'd like the opportunity to learn more about your loved one's experience. Please reach out to Operations Specialist, Blaine, at blyons@pegasusseniorliving.com so that we can work with you to address your concerns. We look forward to hearing from you.
From the beginning everyone was very kind and understanding of our situation. They have made the transition easy and effortless. They take great care of our mom. She started out in assisted living and as her care needs changed, they transitioned her into the memory care program. She is calm and enjoys the staff and activities and does not have the anxiety she did at the last facility she was in. It gives us peace of mind knowing she is well cared for.

October 3, 2024Andrea - Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that your mom’s transition has been smooth and that she is thriving in our memory care program. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate care and engaging activities, and we're glad to know it brings you peace of mind. If you need anything in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Whispering Winds is a new facility that looks great. But that is only surface. They refused to get my mom’s meds correct. Hospice prescribed meds repeatedly told them what her meds were and they just couldn’t get it right. Initially gave her a dose of 4xs as much. Couldn’t figure out why my mom was pass out all the time. This is just the beginning. To much to write. Reported to state. Would not recommend. Increased rate 3 times in a month and a half.

July 23, 2024Thank you for your recommendation and kind words about Whispering Winds of Apple Valley! We're pleased to hear that you had an overall positive experience with us. Your satisfaction means a lot, and we appreciate you spreading the word about our community.
I am speaking for the Memory Care part of Whispering Winds of Apple Valley, so it is a little different than Assisted Living. That has been an adjustment for my mom, as it is secured doors in the Memory Care Center. Coming from an Independent Living community, she has had a challenging time, but the care partners say she always joins in the activities and is mostly smiling and helping others, so I feel she is doing well there. They keep the residents busy doing games and other activities to help keep their minds active. The care partners there are very nice, friendly and caring. Most times you can get right in touch with them with any questions and they are working on a system that will even enhance that more for the family of residents that will be helpful. Meals seem to be good, but since they transfer from the main dining room sometimes it will get cold. They can microwave to warm it up, but that isn't always the same. All in all, it is good. You can ask for things, but in my moms situation and personality, she sometimes does not as she doesn't want to bother them... but that is just my moms character. Yes, I would recommend this community. I also like that they have events for the holidays and that includes Memory Care and Assisted Living...all together.

December 12, 2023Thank you for sharing your experience with Whispering Winds of Apple Valley's memory care. We're glad to hear your mom is actively engaged and supported by our caring team. We're continually improving communication and enhancing the dining experience. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're delighted to include all residents in our holiday events!

Caregivers are always helpful. Front desk personnel help me by answering questions and getting packages to me. I have a small dog with me and he has been accepted. The maintenance repairs anything that needs work in the apartment.

Prior to moving to a senior facility I interviewed four other facilities in the same category. Since residing here I have no reason to alter my decision. The facilities are up to date, clean and comfortable. The staff is excellent and goes beyond to be accommodated.

We toured Whispering Winds of Apple Valley when looking for a facility for our loved one. The people were snotty, not really friendly, and they didn't have transportation for the residents, so it was a no for us.

Our family had an in person tour with Whispering Winds of Apple Valley and it really looked like a great place to stay, but for our loved one we felt that it was just not going to be the correct place for her.

March 31, 2023Thank you taking the time to leave a review about your visit at our community. Please let us know if we can answer any other senior housing-related questions for you!
There's always room for improvement, but Whispering Winds is an amazing facility. We love them. The meals are pretty good, although our loved one wishes the portions were a little bigger. They have a lot of activities. The cost is high, but we did our research, and they're on par with everybody else. They're even a little lower on the assisted care level compared to other places in the area. Make sure you understand how the payment process works because we misunderstood that in the beginning - that 's on the insurance company and not on Whispering Winds. But it would be nice if Whispering Winds' orientation included those types of FAQs.
