The staff is amazing and helpful. The food is not great and they run out often before everyone has a chance to get a meal. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.... Read more

This community is very nice and we would have went with this community but it was too far from the hospital that my loved one goes to for treatments. The tour was great it was just not the right community for my loved one.
White Oaks seemed old and needed a lot of updating. We did not even bring my dad here to tour because we knew he would not like how it looked.

February 18, 2022Thanks for reaching out. If you'd like to tell me more, you can reach me directly at Feedback@HolidaySeniorLiving.com.
This community is very old and I feel like it needs to be redone and updated.
They have been great, the people who work there are very nice and the grounds are very nice. It is just a good environment. We would recommend this facility to others, but not if their cognitive ability is far gone. Those with mild cognitive issues or none at all would be fine because you can hire care givers there to assist with any needs.

It is a decent place. The pandemic put a damper on things. My loved one is planning on staying here, and they have made friends in the community. The communication is good with the staff. There has been a change in administration during the pandemic. The food compared to the brochure, is only mediocre. The quality of salads should be green and not white lettuce.

We chose White Oaks because it was all inclusive. The studio I saw was a good size for one person. The food was pretty good, they have a daily menu with choices. My favorite part about this community would be the staff members, they are attentive and they know all of the residents. I would recommend.

We do have to pay extra for the care service, and she has never used them so we don't know how good the care services are. Before COVID they had bingo, and exercise classes. She likes the food at this community. Prior to COVID they were getting three meals a day in the dining room which allowed them to socialize. Now the food is being delivered to their rooms and the quality of the food has gone way down. All the residents are on lock down so its like living in a prison. The rooms however at White Oaks are pretty average in size.

They are always cleaning the community. The staff is all very helpful and will go the extra mile for you. Very nice people. During the Covid-19 pandemic, most of the activities have been cancelled, however previous to that, they were pretty good. We feel White Oaks is a good value!

Very honest community. It is a good value for the price. People are very friendly. I was in a time crunch to find a place due to rehab discharge date and they were able to work with my timeline. The food here is disgusting, it is one step up from a high school cafeteria. I have food allergies to fish and cucumbers. When they were serving in the dining room they were able to work with my food allergies now that the food is being brought to our rooms they do not accommodate anyone's food needs.

Nice place - helpful sales associates. Seemed like there was a great deal of common space and activities for seniors to engage in. Bedroom / unit size was larger than others we looked at. Although we visited during dinner time, we were not invited to eat dinner there, so I cannot comment on the food. But residents generally looked happy and engaged with others.

The staff was amazing. The grounds were beautiful. The decor, music and activities were all outstanding and the food was very good. Everyone from the executive director to the cleaning people were great. My grandmother only spent 3 weeks here until she died, and we were so sad she couldn’t have stayed for longer. She loved it, and it was the perfect place for her final days, while her family took care of her.

Although a nice welcoming group and nice room cleaning staff (who do a great job), the lunch and dinner meals are a big disappointment. That is the one thing that gets our senior reliably out of his room and should satisfy his dietary needs and pleasure. The food is low quality and limited in choice. Maybe a well assorted and stocked buffet would be a better idea, with an option of walking along it with a server helper. Based on the monthly rates, the quality and assortment of food should be much better.

This is an outstanding community for my mom. She is happy here and likes the staff. The community is clean with a good environment. The menu has a lot of choices of good healthy meals.

My grandmother has had a rough time with her transition here but the staff and management have been very flexible and accommodating with her. My grandmother is not much on going to the dining room she does do breakfast there every morning and the one thing she really loves is having her hair done every week. This community is just beautiful the staff is friendly and caring and I have already recommended it to several of my friends.

My mother is doing great with her move to this community. It has been a rough transition, but we do feel she is in good in community. At this community the residents are able to still keep their independence, and have access too help if they needed. The staff is fabulous, they are very kind, and friendly. They do a good job with the cleanliness around the community. We are pleased with all they have done for us, this is a facility I would recommend, the experience is going well our family.

this is a nice place for both my parents. The staff is nice and were wonderful with the new adjustment from them moving in. There are a lot of changes. They are not haveing management available 24/7, This has been a big change in the community. This is an impact for everyone. We knew that this was going to happen when we moved into the community. The are working on improving the meals with a new chef. The community is clean. There are not staff members at night. They do offer an emergency way to reach out to 911. The residents are having to adjust to this. The staff is great and the manager goes out of his way. I would highly recommend this to all families for great care and value.
