Whaler's Cove is very nice but very expensive. From what I saw, the rooms and amenities were nice. I had a meal there and enjoyed it very much. The food was good and very tasty.

Whaler's Cove looked nice and clean and everything but it was just very big. It would be hard for my father-in-law to get around this type of facility. It did have many apartments; however, the views from their windows were either looking at a stone wall or parking lot, and my father-in-law wasn't happy with that. Nevertheless, regarding activities, their schedule looked good and they also have a good list of activities for their residents.

I knew a few people that had taken up residence in Whaler's cove. It's a pretty big place and they had pretty good size rooms for the price. The residents were happy and the living environment is acceptable.

We chose Whalers Cove because of proximity, cost, and everything in it. My mother loves the food and she's got a very nice apartment. The place is huge. There are different areas where she can go without even having to leave the building, like a little garden and a good view inside. She's very pleased there. At this point, she's been very well taken care of and they've been great to the family, so I can't really complain about anything.

The facility was wonderful looking, it was very clean, well maintained, spacious with a beautiful backdrop. The rooming area was rather small needed some updating and modernizing but it did have all the safety requirements one would need for assisted living. The activities department seemed rather repetitive I would have been bored but my Grandmother seemed to appeal it especially the bingo portion. The food was nothing spectacular rather dull and boring but seemed filling as far as nutrients went though I was a little concerned with portion sizing as well as dietary guidelines. The residents seemed quite pleasant and friendly and very welcoming to the new guests. The staff was accommodating gracious and quickly answered any questions we had they also offered resolutions to some of the issues that plagued one of my family members. The laundry service seemed quick and efficient and was nice to know she would not have the burden on her shoulders.
