Whispering Pines Health Care Center

I visited this facility

I visited a sick friend in this facility and was underwhelmed by the attention of the staff to the residents. My friend said that they are often busy with more needy patients and I thought that they seemed understaffed. That said, the staff that was attending to the patients that I saw seemed attentive and compassionate. The d̩cor seemed a bit pieced together, as though it had been assembled from several estate sales mixed with your standard institutional furniture, but everything seemed in good repair. The smell of the facility was reasonably pleasant, but I could detect a faint scent of urine just under the surface. I was with my friend during mealtime and her food arrived hot and appeared fresh, but she said that it was bland and tasteless, which probably could not have been avoided as she was on a low sodium diet. All in all, it seemed nice enough, and while I was happy that my friend was able to return home, I thought she was well treated while she was there.
