I am really thankful to White Oaks Memory Care for taking care of my mother during her golden years. The staff was always friendly and helpful, and their atmosphere was very calming. The residents were happy and engaged in activities, which made me feel relieved that my mom was in a safe and comfortable environment. While my mom has sadly passed, this place had an intimate feel to it that allowed my mother (and the rest of us) a peaceful place for her final years. A special thank you to the caregivers as you will never know how much you did for our family.
