Whispering Pines is a great community, most especially the staff. Accommodating. Nice. Kind. Helpful. My mom is happy & content.
I had seen the commercials for A Place for Mom on television, but never thought I would ever use them. My mom had been living independently, but after a hospital stay, our family decided to begin looking for alternatives for her once she was discharged. We contacted A Place for Mom and quickly set up tours. The last tour of the day was at Brier Pointe and when my brother and I walked in, we both knew immediately this would probably be "the one" - and it was. Everyone we encountered was smiling, friendly and very helpful - from the residents to the employees. After talking with Mom, sharing pictures and thoughts, she agreed with us. When she was discharged from the hospital, we took her to see Brier Pointe. My brother and I gathered her belongings from the car, turned to find her and she was already at the front door - she was that excited. Her reaction did not disappoint - we had made the right decision! She had been there a little over a month now and loves it!
The Gardens has provided a friendly atmosphere for my mom. They have looked after her and made sure she was assigned to someone who could show her around. She has enjoyed the meal choices, and all the activities that are offered such as Bible study, exercise and card games. She says people and staff have been very friendly.
