What this means for your family

White Oaks is highly regarded for its warm, family-like atmosphere and dedicated caregivers. However, given the serious reports regarding medication management and the handling of dementia-related behavioral episodes, families should ask for specific written policies on how the facility manages medical oversight and behavioral crises before moving in.

Key Review Excerpts

They didn't take care of him like he was just a job...no they treated him like family. I was gone out of town when he passed, however, Maggie held his hand and talked to him until he was gone.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

One thing, among many, that occurred here is that she was deprived of multiple medications for significant health conditions for days and weeks at a time - with the full knowledge of administration.

Long-term resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

They called me at almost 10 pm and told me I had to pick him up and take him home (are you kidding me?!) or to the hospital because he was having an episode, which was over by the time I arrived.
