Ms. Alexis and Brielle. I want to thank both of you from the bottom of my heart. Your professionalism, commitment to patient care, and dedication to patients love ones made me feel that my love one is being seen, heard, most importantly understood, and her needs are being met. You both went over and above to right a wrong that Whispering Oaks did not cause. Through sheer tenacity you were able to reschedule my love one's appointment, that took 4 months to get the first time due to the nature of the procedure. Alivi Transportation no showed twice on the scheduled date and times. You made what seemed impossible, possible. Yall reschedule another appointment for Jan 29 and confirm transport with a different company, WOW. My family's mental state and my love one's metal state has a better outlook. Thank you both some much. Chavis Hall

I would not send my dad back to this facility. The residents are stacked 4 to a room with literally a 6 ft by 6 ft area for them. Night staff are loud. My dad was not getting any of his perscribed therapy minutes until I pointed it out. He fell while there and suffered a brain bleed as a result and it took 3 days of multiple family members to get them to even agree to call EMS for evaluation. Even then they did not want to send him to the hospital. This place tried to kill my dad more than once before I managed to get him out of that place.

The only reason I give it a 2 star is because all the staff isn't bad. Love one went in with only talking 1 medication for BP and when I came for her discharge there was 2 more plus more meds added to her list. There's 4 persons in the rooms which isn't good at all! When one get ill all gets I'll. When one screams out it irritates all others. The smell isn't pleasing at all however I've been to much worse places that's worse. Some of the staff is rude while on the phone until your face to face it's different. All I can say if your love ones goes there make sure you slide through those doors not only during the day go through the night as well. Also get to know the staff members who's caring for your love ones! Some will be fony in your face however different when you leave. Which happens often in many setting all over. Most of all watch how your love ones progress in there health over time of they are there to do their therapy etc.!! I've seen much much worse places then this place!

Transitioning our mom into a rehabilitation nursing home was tough—for years she's resisted the idea, mostly because of horror stories and the negativity that is placed on nursing home care. But after nearly a month at Whispering Oak, we’ve found peace knowing she’s in caring and capable hands. From the very beginning, we were struck by how attentive and genuinely caring the staff have been—not only toward our mother but to the other residents as well. Whether it’s the front desk team, the nursing staff, or even housekeeping, there’s a shared sense of compassion that makes a world of difference. You can tell that they’re not just doing a job—they care. The facility itself is clean and well-maintained. If our mom has one complaint, it’s that the temperature tends to be on the colder side—but that’s a small thing compared to how much she praises every other aspect of her care. We know Whispering Oak isn’t a high-end resort, but what it does offer—compassionate care, dignity, and respect—is worth far more. We also understand she’s not their only resident, so we stay involved and visit often, but we’re grateful for the loving support she receives day to day. Thank you, Whispering Oak team. You’ve made a difficult chapter feel a little lighter.
