Review for Discovery Commons Whittier

I found the place to be nice cheery and clean. The staff was nice and friendly. The place had a very nice court yard for people to walk around in. I loved the court yard. The food was good for the most part except my father did not like the taste of the meat. I have only one minor criticism. The medical care was mediocre at best. We changed my father's family doctor for the health program at the facility. They only had s nurse practitioner that came on a few days a week and no medical doctor. My father had to have his meds changed a few times so a doctor would have been nice. Regarding the medical services there, they were ok but I expected more for all the money we paid. Everything else was great.

Doors that open into a pleasant and friendly home

Was very impressed with all that I experienced there. Felt very comfortable leaving my mother during her stay at Discovery. Starting from the receptionist, office personnel, the care givers were always friendly and helpful. Definitely would consider if I need another stay for mom, I would feel comfortable having her stay.

Whittier Place Experience

This was a positive environment. It was clean, luxurious and the staff was very nice. The food in the cafeteria was good. I like the music they played in the lobby as well as the outside courtyard. I think it is important to find a place where the residents can go outside and walk and a large courtyard is good for that.

My Family’s Experience with Whittier Place

Whittier Place has been a very good experience for my brother. The environment is clean, welcoming and attractive. The staff is friendly, accommodating and ready to help you when needed. Communication between staff and management is efficient so that when you have a request or need staff relays it to managers to get needed answers in a timely manner. Whittier Place has provided my brother with an overall safe, clean, caring residence.

Highly Recommended

I would highly recommend Whittier Place Senior Living. The place is spotless. They check the trash a few times a day where they also check the cleanliness of the room. The staff is amazing and very friendly and loving making everyone feel special. The food is appropriate. Communication is great.

Not recommended

My loved one was previously a resident at Whittier Place Senior Living. This facility was good until Watermark took over. Then it was TERRIBLE. The care went way down and the price went way up. They conveniently 'lost' my loved one's wheelchair the day that we moved him out and only when Hospice said that was the second one they "lost" and would have to reimburse them did it suddenly get "found". I would not recommend Whittier Place Senior Living to others.

Our families experienced

My aunts are very happy with the place. I haven't been able to spend a lot of time there with her since I live far away, but according to my aunts I would have to say a 4 for the overall experience. There has been a few they told me they had to remind her about somethings that were not being done and it was taken care of.

Friendly staff! Definitely would recommend it!

What we like the most about the Whittier Place Senior Living are the staff members. The staff team there is very nice and helpful. I know that our loved one is safe and she as well likes the staff team. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend the Whittier Place to other families.

Whittier Place is excellent!

My 95 year old father has been in assisted living at Whittier Place since April of 2018. We have had a good experience there overall, but especially lately. In addition to having hired a truly outstanding Activities Director, they have also given her a new and much-needed assistant, and so more and more social activities are happening. These include interactive music events, exercise classes, games, and a variety of regular social activities, which are so important for keeping the residents happy, sharp, and active. I am also very pleased with the other support staff, including the medical personnel and also the various receptionists and caregivers. These people truly take a personal interest in my dad, and this goes a long way toward his happiness there. [name removed], the new Executive Director, is really trying to up the game by making strategic improvements and seeking an enhanced experience for the residents and their families. I see good things ahead for Whittier Place.

Would recommend

Whitter Place Senior Living is a good facility. They have a nice outdoor area for those people who like to be outside. the rooms in memory care are all spacious and the floors are new. The bathroom are all very accessible. I would recommend Whittier Place to others, I have nothing bad to say about them. It is a good place overall.

Nicer than a convalescent or boarder home

My family and loved one had an average experience with the community. The biggest suggestion we have is ask lot of questions, to make sure the community is the right fit for your loved one. Some questions could be the ratio of caregivers to residents, what type of activities are available, what are meals like, and what specific care are they able to provide. The biggest thing is to make sure you are being your loved one's advocate during this process.

A very freindly atmosphere.

Whittier Place is very light and welcoming. You can look right out at the gardens, which was the first impression when I walked in. All the staff is friendly. My person likes the food. And everybody there seems happy.
