The staff are attentive to the resident's needs. You are able to go to bed at night, and not worry about your loved one, knowing they are being taken care of. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. Chair exercises, readings, trivia questions, decorate for holidays, and more for activities for the residents to patriciate in.

When I first approached my dad with the idea of assisted living, he was more open to it than I expected. Greystone Farm gave us the tour, and they spent a lot of time explaining things. At the end, he said "Yeah, I can see myself living here." Which completely surprised me. From the day he moved in until today, almost every day he tells me how much he likes it there, or how great this or that person is. I've been very happy with them and don't feel guilty about leaving him him here. He is so much better off. He's not alone, and he is very well taken care of. He really likes the aides and especially the nurses. His only complaints have been small and center around the food. He tells me they give him too much food. And then with Covid when food is delivered to his room, his CocaCola comes as a can of generic version, whereas in the dining room, it's true fountain CocaCola. But we can easily work around those things! Other than that, he is very happy there. It has been the prefect solution for him. People are in and out checking on him all day, but he doesn't feel like he's being watched. He has his own apartment, so when people come in, it's like a mini visit, and then they go. It has been wonderful for me being close by to Dod so I can do the same, drop in for a moment as often as I want or need to. I think it's very expensive, but he's getting all of these services that are so beneficial. And his happiness and wellbeing is the most important thing to me. He doesn't do a lot of the activities, but he really enjoys when they bring in different musicians - pianists violinists, etc. It has been a really great move for him and everyone in our family.

This is nice place and where my loved one wanted to be. They are currently waving their security deposit, and they are giving this back to my loved one. The activities could be improved and have more for the residents to do.

The staff here is very good. So are the nurses. They're very busy - they're shorthanded now, I understand due to Covid. I just wish there were more staff members so they could answer the phone and respond to my calls. But overall, they've helped my loved one tremendously. I visited 10 facilities in the area, and I'm happy that I chose Whisper Woods.

The care services have been very good from what we can see, but we are a little concerned with the lack of physical activity on the memory care side. We wish they would have more of a stimulating environment. Non skilled nursing community and is expensive.

They're very accommodating and flexible. They have good transportation in taking residents to doctor appointments and that type of thing. They're very responsive. When there's any type of issue, they call me immediately. My loved one gives high praises to the food and variety offered. They have plenty of activities if you choose to participate. It seems to be a good value, especially these days with everything going on.

Benchmark is a very nice facility, this was actually our second choice. It is in a great location and they have a stellar kitchen and menu, if you are a foodie this would definitely be the place to go. We have nothing negative to say about this facility, it just came down to a gut feeling we had.

The Branches community is lovely, clean and beautiful and we liked the location best. Due to our loved ones health at the time he was not able to participate in activities but we saw plenty being offered for the residents. It is pricey like all facilities are but for what they provided and the quality of care it was worth it.

It depends on the person, but it's a great fit for my cousin. She loves the place. All she does is rave about how sweet and nice the staff are to her. And they help me so much getting her to do certain things. They know just how to handle her and have a great way with her. They're very respectful. She knows her way around - it's not too big of a community, so she doesn't get lost and it it doesn't feel overpowering. It's a great place for somebody who is low-key and laid-back. It has a home-like atmosphere, and we got to bring her own furniture and décor so it feels like home to her. The apartments are beautiful. The food is excellent. They have a lot of activities for the residents, and they encourage them to go. I feel like I'm getting a good value for what they charge. I can't say enough good things about it. Everything has worked out so well. If you're at a loss for a place to go, this is the right place.
