Whisper Woods of Smithtown

My mother was in Whisper Woods of Smithtown and it was amazing. It couldn't have been better. Before I chose them I also saw six other communities. They were OK, but I can't really say that any of them actually spoke to me. When I walked through Whisper Woods' doors, I fell in love with the place. It's amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. It's brand new, clean, and the staff is out of this world when it comes to the care she received. She was in assisted living/independent living. They also have a memory care unit, although she didn't qualify for that. They had different packages that you pick according to the needs of the patient. So my mom needed nursing care to give her meds and she needed help with walking around because she's high risk for falling, so they had someone round-the-clock to help them. So even though she was independent living, there was always someone there for her. I did not find one single person that I did not like, and I wish Mom could have stayed there longer. I ate a lot and the food was delicious. The place is spotless, and it's a brand-new community, so everything is still very new and beautiful. They have everything you could think of; my mom participated in most of the activities. It was expensive, but compared to other places and what we got for our money, it was to be expected. They've provided so much compared to other communities. What I really liked about it was that they provide care through end-of-life, so my mom wouldn't have to leave there, even if she needed hospice. They would just bring hospice to her.

Whisper Woods of Smithtown is beautiful. Everything is new. The staff is very friendly and very caring. Everything is really good there. They have a one-bedroom with a living room, one bathroom, and a little kitchenette. There's no stove or oven. There's a small refrigerator, a microwave, a sink, and lots of cabinets. They have arts and crafts, exercises, entertainment coming in, musicians and choir coming in, a gardening club, a shuttle to take you to different places, doctors coming in regularly, nursing on-staff, and physical therapy. They're very accommodating. My mom was in rehab across the street, and they sent her flowers there. They're very thoughtful and caring. The dining room was open 7:00 in the morning until 7:00 at night, so there's not assigned times for meals. You can go in as many times as you want. They have coffee and tea and some snacks in the lobby, and I suggest that they also put that in the common area on each floor. Any way you go is expensive, but compared to other places, this is so much better.

Whisper Woods of Smithtown was good. The staff answered lots of my questions. It was certainly a nice and warm place. I thought everything was exceptional. The room was nice. They have card games and bingo. I didn't see a whole lot of activities. The person who gave me the tour was good at what he did.

I like the décor at Whisper Woods of Smithtown and it's a really nice place. It's new and it sits on grass, so the grounds larger than the facility, so the residents can walk around outside. It's a little bit nicer, and it's spread out, which I like. The décor was really beautiful inside. It had a really nice family room area which was beautiful, and it had a nice electrical fireplace. The people were all really nice and they have activities. The food looked and smelled pretty good. They don't have an assigned time for eating. You can order off a menu which is much larger than the other ones I saw. It seemed a little bit more free-flowing. They have a nice entrance with a baby grand right there. I also liked the fact that they have some grounds.
