A New Concept in Memory Care

The White Oak Cottages differ from other assisted living options in its architecture, its philosophy of care, and its unique staffing model.

Architectural scale and features of a home.

The first difference you notice about Wh5ite Oak Cottages is that it is a family home with typical communal areas and twelve private bedrooms. Depending on the time of day, someone arriving at the home may smell dinner cooking in the oven, dishes being done, laundry folded, or Residents engaged in various activities.

Excellence, respect and compassion.

White Oak's philosophy of care emphasizes compassionate personalized attention, individual autonomy and respect for staff and residents alike.

The staff work as a team and run all aspects of the home.

The certified nursing aides, called Shahbazim, are selected for their warmth and interest in the elderly. They must work as a team because they provide personal care, cook the meals, do the laundry and participate in activities with the Residents. This multi-faceted engagement between the staff and Residents leads to strong bonds and a deep understanding of each Resident. The presence of a nurse 24 hours a day assures that all health issues are monitored and addressed in a timely fashion.
