I am a client in whiting gardens. They treat me very well the staff is amazing. Food is great. Rooms are nice. Activities keep us active. They are always available for all needs
My mother recently completed a two‑week therapy stay at this rehab facility, and the experience was exceptional. From the moment she arrived, the staff treated her with real love, respect, and compassion. At 92 years old, she needed both physical support and emotional reassurance, and they provided both beautifully. The therapists were attentive, encouraging, and skilled. The nursing staff checked on her consistently and made her feel safe. She regained strength, confidence, and comfort thanks to their dedication. I highly recommend this facility to any family seeking quality care for their loved one.
My mom has been there for 2 years. The staff is wonderful, especially Joan the head nurse, she is amazing! My sister is staying there as well that has special needs and claims the food is great. My dad (Joe) goes to visit every day at different times and confirms that the care is consistent.
The only reason I gave 2 stars is because most the employees are very nice and care about your loved ones. The shape and cleanliness of this place is deplorable. Look at the air and heat vents this tells you what you and your loved ones are breathing in. The maintenance of this place is just amateur.i included a picture of a door they tried to fix and a leaking pipe that just gets band aids, look at the ceiling tile. The food I wouldnt feed to a stray cat. I said to my loved one the food can’t be that bad until I taste it. Please do your research before you send your loved ones here. My loved one we brought home because he was getting worse everyday there: I am Happy to say with bringing in a home health aide he is doing much better…
