Whalers Cove Assisted Living receives mixed reviews from residents and their families. Many appreciate the facility's cleanliness, spacious apartments, and variety of activities. The community is described as beautiful, with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff, contributing to a positive living experience for some residents. The facility's history as a former department store adds to its charm, and the ability to personalize living spaces is a plus for many. However, there are significant concerns about the quality of the food, with multiple reviews describing it as unsatisfactory and even causing illness among residents. The portions are often small, and the menu lacks variety and taste. Some residents and their families express dissatisfaction with the management, citing poor communication and unresponsiveness to concerns, particularly regarding medication administration and meal quality. The nursing staff receives mixed feedback, with some praising their care and others criticizing their lack of attentiveness. The executive director is mentioned negatively, with reports of staff feeling intimidated and unsupported. Despite these issues, some families have had positive experiences, noting the staff's professionalism and the facility's efforts to make transitions smooth for new residents. Overall, while Whalers Cove offers a pleasant environment and a range of activities, concerns about food quality, management, and staff responsiveness highlight areas needing improvement. Potential residents and their families should weigh these factors when considering Whalers Cove as an assisted living option.
