    Bright roomy community with caveats

    I moved into Whispering Pines and love the bright, roomy apartment, spotless new facility, hotel-like common areas and nonstop activities (theater, bistro, outings) - staff are warm, helpful, and management is on-site 24/7 with great family communication. Meals are chef-prepared and plentiful most days, though menu consistency, portions and coffee can be hit-or-miss. Price felt fair for the amenities but can be steep and their financial policies are inflexible; there's also been some staff turnover and occasional management drama. Overall I'm very happy and would recommend Whispering Pines, just inspect the dining and ask about staffing/financial flexibility first.
