My wife moved to Whispering Winds of Apple Valley. It's very clean, they have nice people, good care, and a lot of activities. She has a studio room, a private bath, a kitchenette, a refrigerator, a cooktop sink, and a nice private bathroom. They have activity rooms. They have a TV area, a library, a bistro, and a nice dining room. They have very nice outside garden walkways. The food is good. The staff was nice and very accommodating. They look out for her. She's in a wheelchair, so they do watch out for her room, take her to the meals, take her out to the different activities, and so forth.

I went to look at the Whispering Winds of Apple Valley. Their apartments are nice because their bedrooms are separate. What I liked best about the community was the way that the bedrooms were set up. They have a little privacy in their rooms. Between the two bedrooms and the door to the hallway there was a bathroom, which was very nice. I liked that part of it. They put everybody together in the same room, watching TV and doing nothing. At the door that went from the hallway out to the patio, they said there were two or three attendants, but they're just sitting in the hallway with air conditioning, talking, and not doing anything or helping anybody. They were taking their break in the hallway. Nobody attended to the people that were there. There should be some staff in the room. I didn't like that at all. The facility is nice, fairly new, and clean.

Whispering Winds of Apple Valley was a very welcoming, very relaxed, and enjoyable environment. The apartment was a nice size, clean, and efficient. We're looking at the one-bedroom, so it had a kitchen, a living room, and then a bedroom. The staff was very friendly and very willing to listen and offer ideas and willing to explain things in depth. They were in the process of remodeling. What they were doing looked very nice. They have a dining area. The gym area was not accessible because they were remodeling that area. They had a pool table area. They have a room where they do cooking classes for the residents. That all looked very nice and clean. They're not serving food to nonresidents right now.

I toured Whispering Winds of Apple Valley for my mother-in-law. They were very friendly, and they knew everybody by name. Everybody seemed to be very calm and relaxed. They had horse racing going on and that's one of the games. There were puzzles all over the place where if you wanted to solve puzzles or put a puzzle together, you could. The rooms were nice. A lot of them had already been renovated with new paint and new appliances. They had full kitchens so they could cook if they wanted to. The rooms were very nice, and very large.

My brother is at Whispering Winds of Apple Valley. It is a nice place. They are very good people. They prepare meals and whatever else you might need. We needed somebody to watch over and be protective of my brother, and they are doing that for him. The staff members are very nice and very helpful. I like the place myself. Everything is really nice. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Naturally, I have eaten some of their from time to time as I'll stay and have lunch with my brother. Their food is good. I like the place. They have different apartments. You can get a two-bedroom or a one-bedroom. It is like hotel living in a way. They do your personal washing and housekeeping once a week. It is a really nice place. I can't say anything bad about it. My last visit to the place was before COVID. I really like it. If I were to need to go in, I would be very glad to move in there. It is expensive, but it is good. I would recommend it.

We went to Whispering Winds of Apple Valley and we saw the assisted living side. It was a bigger facility. We liked it because it was right across the street and down a little bit from a shopping center with a theater, a grocery store, and all kinds of restaurants. We picked the room, and my friend's wife placed a deposit, but after they evaluated him they determined he needed too much care. However, it was impressive, large, and the rooms were nice. We talked to one guy there, he was very happy there, and he said they were great. You go in the dining room, you sit down like in a restaurant, and order off a menu. That's nice and I was impressed with that.
