Feeling discouraged from other visits to assisted ...

Feeling discouraged from other visits to assisted living facilities, my husband and I gave up the search for a few months; we just couldn t see my dad feeling comfortable in those places. When we toured Whetstone, we found it to be peaceful and inviting apartment-style living that felt more like a home than a facility. We loved the natural light on the 3rd floor, the patio in the back, and the updated decor. The bedrooms were roomy and well-equipped (bigger than many others we had seen in other locations). Its close proximity to Riverside Hospital with the capability to handle serious medical issues added an extra layer of comfort to our family.

My dad s transition has been smooth. We immediately noticed that he was more talkative, happy, and less stressed. In the 5 months he s been there, what we love best is the warmth of the staff. The nurses are friendly and let us know of any issues or health concerns, taking extra precautions to ensure my dad is safe. Residents are also provided with a call button to press when they need help. Jaclyn, the director, is cheerful and energetic, loves her residents, and knows all of their names. She is effective with communication and responds quickly to questions by e-mail or phone. Whether it is a computer question, scheduling appointments or coordinating activities, the Whetstone staff has been willing to help my dad in any way. We are thankful to have found such a great fit for our dad and would recommend Whetstone as a nurturing and safe place to live.
