Whispering Winds

We were not impressed with Whispering Wind at all. The outside was lovely, but the building was very depressing-looking and outdated, with low ceilings and it gave me a feeling of wanting to turn around and walk out. The lady who greeted us and her helper who took us on a tour were dressed as if they were doing some gardening, so we were not impressed. Continuing on down into the quarters, it was really depressing, and there were no apartments for us to go in, but a lovely couple let the tour guide take us into their very good-sized 1-bedroom. The place even had a higher price.

The rooms in Whispering Winds were a little bigger; they're at the point of remodeling, so a new tenant gets to pick colors, lights, and countertops. Their kitchen was bigger, the food looked a little bit more formal, and it was a little bit more expensive.

Whispering Winds would be a definite option for mom. It's a very nice and clean facility. It's basically an apartment for each of the residents, but there was 24-hour emergency care if she needed it. The staff are very helpful. They just offered a lot of things for retired people and we liked that. They do have a car service if the residents would need it. We had lunch there and the food was awesome.
