Whispering Pines Assisted Living Facility sits at 1030 Jojo Rd in Pensacola, Florida, and has served local seniors since May 2019, with the business overseen by the Northwest Florida BBB and run by Whispering Pines Assisted Living Facility LLC, where Mr. Kevin Wheatley acts as the principal contact, and while it isn't BBB accredited, it carries an A+ rating, which folks often like to know, even though that doesn't make it perfect. The facility is licensed by the state of Florida with license number 13168 and has space for up to 15 residents, offering mostly private living areas or bedrooms, some with kitchenettes, and makes an effort to help people keep their independence while also giving help when it's needed, like with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication management, and daily activities, all backed up with 24-hour supervision from staff who many find friendly, helpful, and glad to make sure things run smoothly day and night.
Whispering Pines creates a home-like place where people can feel safe, including emergency alert systems, scheduled meals cooked by chefs and meal planners who consider special diets, and a dining room set up to encourage gathering for meals, which is always a big part of the day for most folks, with the team also managing housekeeping, laundry services, and making rooms comfortable with furnishings and telephones. There are walking paths, gardens, transportation, and parking, which come in handy when folks want to get outside or need a ride, and you'll find both indoor and outdoor common areas designed for socializing, relaxing, or taking part in devotional activities that are available for spiritual support, with staff also arranging movie nights, onsite activities, and outings to keep everyone engaged physically, mentally, and emotionally.
For people who need more medical help, there are services such as incontinence care, diabetic support, and non-ambulatory care, with ancillary and healthcare staff available to coordinate with outside providers; the goal is to let each resident age in place as comfortably as possible with the right support. Whispering Pines tries to make everyone feel welcome-hence the "Welcome Home" phrase on site-while also having steady visitation policies so family and friends can stay in touch. The focus here is on safety, community, personal care, and helping residents live as independently as they can, with all the basic assisted living services you'd expect and a hands-on approach to making sure everyone feels a sense of belonging.
