Overall experience was excellent!

Mom loves being there. The residents there seem much more lively/vibrant than other places we looked at. Activities are available for participation all day long. Management was helpful with ideas for additional resources if needed in the future. Seems very clean and the one bedroom apartment is perfect to have a private bedroom and small living room for visitors. Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a vibrant community.

Whispering Pines is a warm, welcoming community. My husband and I toured it in December when we were visiting my son and his family in Raleigh for the Christmas holiday. We especially liked the way the staff worked closely together and created a home-like atmosphere. The variety of room layouts was the most we’ve seen in our search. For the time being we are staying put in our Massachusetts home but will definitely keep this gem in mind.
