What this means for your family

While the frontline staff and activity programs are praised for their dedication, the recurring reports of unprofessional management and facility maintenance issues are significant red flags. We strongly recommend scheduling an unannounced tour to personally inspect the cleanliness of the living areas and to observe interactions between management and residents.

Key Review Excerpts

All of the White Oak Estates personnel are caring, consistent and dependable. The activities director makes sure the residents are aware of the exercise classes in the morning and the entertainment each afternoon.

Memory care family member · 2017★★★★★

The staff are great, however the owner lacks people skills. If you want a nice looking entry, nice rooms, save a buck or 2, rodents, and continue to not have a ounce of love for your loved ones, this is the place to put them.
