The Pines at Whiting was very nice, and we really liked it. It seemed well managed and very clean. The rooms were medium sized. The people seemed to be happy. The dining area was nice.

I ate at the Pines, and the food was good. The atmosphere was better compared to the other places I’ve visited. The halls were wider and brighter, and had more lights in there, so it wasn’t as dim. They were playing cards, and there was a lot going on; they were very active. The rooms actually had patios at the back, which were nice. The staff was very accommodating.

We found a place for my parents called The Pines. They're going to be moving in a couple of weeks. The people were very accommodating. They showed us around. They were nice to my parents. There were older men there too, and because my father doesn't want to be held up with nothing but women, I was happy to see that. It was important to my father and I. The food was good. It wasn't like going to a great restaurant, but my father and mother liked it, and I liked it. The rooms/apartments looked clean and roomy enough. They looked inviting too. Once my parents are there, they are encouraged to get up and out, which is good because I don't want them to be shut in their room. It seems as though there is an invitation to leave the room and have breakfast or lunch downstairs among the other people, and that seems to be really good.

I visited the Pines at Whiting, and it's absolutely gorgeous, but they don’t take outside insurance. They only take specific insurance or self-pay. Everybody was wonderful. It's clean; it's a really beautiful facility. Their rooms are like hotel rooms. When we went there, they were having bingo. The cleanliness and newness of the place did stand out for me.

I like The Pines. It's very nice. I have friends who live there, both in independent and in the nursing home, and it's fine. The people I know who live there like it. The sanitation seems to be fine to me. I live in the area. They have a lot of activities. I know my friend who lives there does a lot; she keeps very busy. I went there a couple of times for picnics. It's a good place to be if you can afford it.

Upon entering the facility it was nice, open, and airy. The staff greeted us with a smile. There were many amenities including fitness classes, restaurant like dining, different game nights where everyone gets together, and everyone seemed very close, both staff and residents. Every day there was a different menu in the different restaurant sections. The residents could pick anything they wanted, from appetizer to dessert. They could also choose to eat in or take out. They organize movie nights a few times a week. They even had art classes, bingo, drama club, live bands, Wii bowling, etc. Even though this is an assisted living facility, everyone has their own freedom. Family could come and stay a night, grandchildren are welcomed. Everything was secure and clean. Whether you like to relax and have quiet time or be the life of the party, you can choose. It seemed like a great and fun atmosphere for any retiree.

Independent..assisted..nursing all different.

Independent was excellent….assisted was very good.
The staff had exceptional people in it with great caring personalities.

I went to The Pines at Whiting. I thought it was good. It was fine, which is why I'm going back. It's all in one level. Each apartment has a little patio going out to grass like screened in porch. It seemed reasonable. The big thing is I can afford it.
It looked OK. The staff who assisted me was very sweet, very nice, very pleasant, and very helpful. The facility is about average. It wasn't super big. It's probably a little bit older, but it was good enough for me. This is a first impression. We weren't there that long. The staff just talked about what they offer, how much it is, and that's about it. We saw an apartment. I really have to take another look, which we plan to do.

The first one I visited was The Pines at Whiting. I like the staff and the residents that I met there. They were all very nice, and I could live with them. The apartment was plenty spacious, and reasonably priced. The food was excellent. The only thing I didn’t like about it was their pet policy.

The Pines at Whiting is all inclusive. It starts out as independent living, moves on to assisted and then onto nursing home care if needed. It has a rehabilitation wing and a memory care unit. It's a very large facility with many activities every day. I like the employees and all the people that we met. This seems like a good fit for my mother. They do the food bank for the women. The men have different outings where they go different places, and the women may go out to lunch. They do overnight trips, go to see different shows, a choir that my mother is very interested in joining, and have the usual activities throughout the day, like memory games and crafts. There's a large variety to choose from. We met with the director of admissions, who was very good. She helped us with the finances, gave us the tour, and was extremely honest. Three of the board members and their family members live in this place, so it's recommended by even the people that work there because they have family that also live there. It is one of the least expensive places. Once you have signed on and given your contractual fee, you will remain there forever. Even if you run out of money, they don't expect you to relocate to another place. The facility was really good.
