She answered all my concerns, reassured me, and gave me lots of hugs! She followed up with us even after my husband returned.

The director knows how to hire staff. While it might take longer to be fully staffed the person they bring in fits in very well While each staff is unique with skills and talents they share same core work ethic.

I would give all 8 of them, a 5. Top to bottom, that facility is wonderful. Everyone was very easy to work with. Great communication! Also, the residents always looked clean and well attended to. Even the more challenging residents were attended to in a manner that helped satisfy them. They were not left to be off in a corner and "we will get back to them." Excellent staff!!

Yes, this place is for DEMENTIA AND ALZHEIMER’S. BIT IT IS NOT FOR SENTIENT COGNIZANT SANE PEOPLE. MY SON, [name removed] PLACED ME HERE SO:HE COULD SAY “DAD IS INEPT” and he took over as POWER OF ATTORNEY and proceeded to empty my Chase Bank of $[removed] then he wouldn’t let me receive any mail, nor a cell phone. I had no knowledge of my condo my finances. TOTAL CUSTODIAL CARE AND IT IS REFLECTED IN THE HIGH RENT. When revoked [name removed] POA, DIRECTOR TOLD ME I HAVE POA or. GUARDIAN. EVERYONE IN WOMC HAS A POA or GUARDIAN. Whenever WOMC gets a SENTIENT RESIDENT they SHOWCASE them by appointing them FAMILY AMBASSADORS.

What we like the most about White Oaks are the activities and the activities staff. It is a clean facility with friendly front office staff. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.

White oaks felt more comfortable and lost similar to apartment living which is what my dad was used to. There are a lot of bright windows and large hallways and don't feel cramped.

We picked this community because, it was small all on one floor, friendly, clean, and a lot of activities for my mom to do. What I say is if the place wasn't wonderful, my mother would not be there.

Re meals: my wife requires assistance at meals. The food arrives warm, but quickly gets cold long before the meal is complete. They need a readily available microwave to reheat the meal. It's a Catch-22. They don't have the staff to give this cohort the time and attention they need. Increasing staff would increase costs. I've seen meals not eaten at all because the resident is asked if they're "done". If they say yes, it's over, even though that is the least accurate way to determine if they want to continue eating. Re activities: the current population of the facility is composed of late stage patients incapable of engaging in any group or organized activity. They would benefit from one on one attention, but again, they lack the staff. In the afternoon and evening, the residents are often simply lined up in front of a television. More staff would mean higher costs. On the positive side, the staff consistently try to maintain the resident's dignity in any and all interactions.

They were very caring and took the time to get to know his needs. Very important. The support group was great. Only attended once, before he passed. Food looked great, they took the time to feed him, which I had him somewhere else and he had lost weight there. Great place

My husband did not belong there since his memory was not nearly bad enough at that time. However they just wanted to fill a space so it didn't matter to them. My husband is now in assisted living and doing very well. So much happier.

The facility, and more importantly, the staff and managers are great. The staff is very caring and understanding. The activities director and staff does a wonderful job keeping the residents engaged and they go out of their way to accommodate interests. The housekeeping is fine. There is a portal you sign up for that comments on daily activities, such as visits from pets or even a miniature pony or visits to a diner for a slice of pie and ice cream including pics. They truly do a great job .The food is very good quality with variety. I would definitely recommend White Oaks McHenry, without any reservations. My mom has recently passed, but I believe they made her time with them as comfortable and pleasant as possible. They could anticipate what was ahead, and made me, as her advocate, feel I was doing right by her. The place has very good management and nursing staff are very caring and compassionate. Go in with your eyes open, follow up with frequent visits at various times of the day including weekends and especially at meal time. I think you will be comfortable with what you see.

We all have ideas on how best to help our loved ones keep a semblance of quality and meaning to their lives as they progress toward the inevitable. I have a sample size of only one upon which to draw, so my comments are rather specific to what I've observed on a daily basis in the care provided for my wife. Overall, White Oaks does most things well. Having been a single primary caregiver for a person afflicted with Dementia for many years, I know it requires a lot of individual attention. Sometimes that effort can be meaningful to the patient, and sometimes not. You can't have 100 staff people per shift, but you do well with what you have. If I had to cite a negative, it would be the large amounts of "down time" I observe in most resident's daily routine. Keeping a Dementia patient engaged in anything is the real challenge. Thanks for asking for my thoughts.

The staff is caring, compassionate, and professional. They know the names and needs of each resident. They make sure each resident is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

We were very worried about my father going into a memory care facility. We thought he would be very resistant. We also thought he might have trouble fitting in. The staff was able to help us through this difficult process and put our minds at ease. Dad is now happy to be there and has made friends with many at the community. this is a great facility, and the staff are incredible.

The love and care of the staff at White Oaks was unsurpassed. Both of my parents lived there, and part of that time was during covid. They kept them engaged, offered wonderful support. I was able to enjoy my parents in their final years. As the end drew near for both of my parents (at different times), they assisted our entire family. This facility is a treasure of care.
