We chose Holiday White Oaks because of the atmosphere and the price. The food is also good, but sometimes not as much.

Response from Holiday White Oaks
July 11, 2023Thank you for sharing your positive experience!
We toured with White Oaks and we thought it smelled funny when we walked in. It was in the middle of being redecorated at the time. The view from the room was just a busy street. It was not the right fit for my loved one.
Everything was great other than the circumstances for being there - which was our loved one's declining health. but we found Holiday White Oaks to be extremely well managed. And the people there were very nice.
Came to stay at White Oaks for the second time after a fall. Also stayed here 3 years ago after rehab. Staying in the model suite, with furniture correct. White Oaks was the best deal around for a short term stay and includes all my meals, and my physical therapist is here on property. [name removed], the physical therapist is wonderful and has her own office on the 3rd floor. The staff is also great, and I would recommend.

Our experience at Holiday White Oaks has been wonderful. The staff are very nice. Everyone has been so easy to work with. They are also very accommodating and attentive to my mothers needs. She is really enjoying the variety of meals that they have to offer. I would highly recommend White Oaks to others.
As a geriatric care manager, I advise families and seniors to talk to the current residents in the community before they move in. It's not just about the bells and whistles when it comes to finding a good place for your loved one; it's also about the heart and soul of the place. The first day I was there I had lunch with my client and a few residents. The residents spoke highly of the attentive staff and how well they were treated by everyone. When my client moved the executive director fix the shower door himself rather than waiting for maintenance to fix it later that day. They really go above and beyond what you would expect from other facilities! The only negative feedback I have is they are doing renovations, but it is definitely something to overlook because remember- it's not about the bells and whistles this place clearly has the heart and soul for caring for residents.

You moved in a few months ago and so far so good. I am looking forward to the renovations when its done, and new spaces that will be available for socializing and activities. Staff is friendly is open to feedback. The physical therapy is wonderful, and the caregivers that work in the building are all great. Putting some thought into becoming a resident ambassador, and would like to volunteer to run a little store in the community.

People were very nice Food was not as good Less on the activities schedule Older facility Considerably cheaper, but you do not get as much Had to go to laundry room, no washer and dryer in the units
Had a very nice tour with [name removed] and was pleasantly surprised at how clean the place was even though it was being renovated. The residents seemed genuinely happy there. [name removed] was extremely helpful with my questions.

The transition was very smooth. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My loved one really likes her apartment, because it has a balcony with great views of the back.

During the sales pitch it was said that she could possibly rehab after surgery at the facility, but they do not have 24/7 nursing. It definitely is not appropriate for any type of rehab. There is caregiving for personal care on site that you can pay extra for, but other than that it is completely independent. I think that is important for other families to know.
