We chose Esprit Whispering Ridge for my parents, and they moved there. They serve three meals, they have social hours every day, and they have live music onsite. On Fridays they have Bingo-type activities. They provide church services onsite, and they have independent, assisted living, and memory care.

My mom lives at Esprit Whispering Ridge, and I would not give them a very good recommendation. They have a lot of turnover and lack of communication; some of the best staff have quit. The staff is very unfriendly, overworked, and unhappy. The food is not good. There's isn't a nutritionist on site, but the dining area is fine, and the activities are pretty good.

My mother is in one of the memory care neighborhoods at Esprit. She moved in just over a year ago, and is receiving great care. The new senior management at Esprit is fantastic! Very engaged and experienced. Really working to create the best residence for residents regardless of the extent of care needed. New Director of Nursing is highly experienced and is creating excellent programs. Communication through a recent "care conference" was perfect. Really appreciate this!!

I highly recommend Esprit. My parents moved in 3 months ago and they are so happy. The staff is so caring. It is nice for my family to know they are safe and well taken care.

Staff turned-over regularly. Care was inconsistent. Services promised were not provided, i.e.; cleaning apartment, laundry (lost it frequently), medications were mis-managed, staff was indifferent & sometimes rude. Emergency "fall necklace" went unresponded to. Eventually moved family member due to poor management, care & services.

I visited this facility
I was going to go to Esprit, but it was too expensive, and I just couldn't afford it. I had some friends there, and it was a new facility, so I liked that. But, because of the cost and the limited space, it came down to going to a different place. The staff there was great, and it was clean. I saw the room, which was very clean and new.

I have recently moved my Aunt into Esprit to their memory care. The staff is great. My aunt tends to wander in the middle of the night and the care givers will find an activity for her to do with them. They treat her like family.

Esprit Whispering Ridge was our second choice. They were nice. They had a special wing for people who needed more care than the normal amount. They had a weekly mass. The room that the mass was in was rather plain and did not look very inviting. The only staff that I saw was the salesperson. They gave us cookies; they were good.

The rooms are bright and everyone has their own room. The staff is usually great! Very understanding and work well with the patients with dementia. There's a lot of different activities for the patients to do during the week so they stay busy.
