    The Barrie Parkinson's Support Group has been meeting at this facility for a few months. They have provided us with a meeting room and snacks. To say they have been welcoming is a considerable understatement. Stephanie, the food service manager, has provided us with a delectable assortment of cookies and pastries along with coffee and tea. The positive attitude of all the staff at Whispering Pines has helped to contribute to the Parkinson's group feeling quite relaxed which has led to very positive meeting outcomes. We look forward to our monthly meetings.

    My mother loves her living here. All the food is great activities and all the staff are fabulous. We had a birthday party for her, and the kitchen did a beautiful charcuterie board. The Manager, Linda was a great help, with all the extra small requests. It is a great place to live, feels like home.

    Our mother moved into Whispering Pines in August 2025. It was a difficult transition as she lived in Peterborough for over 70 years. Bonnie, Susanne, Ally, Ilona, Lynda and the rest of the WP team provided mom the attention she needed to acclimatize to her new environment. Mom is now participating in activities and thoroughly enjoys the meals. Thank you for your continued support! Louise, Lorenzo and families
