White Oak Manor - Tryon

Lis

I have taken a tour of White Oak Village twice. We live in the same town, so it's a familiar place to us. It's very well run and very care oriented. They had lots of activities including a fitness center. The people were extremely friendly. They had lots of long-term staff members who have been there for ten to 20 years, which speaks for the facility. If we decided to go there it would be a very community-oriented and very caring place. It's different looking at it and visiting and living there though. I imagine that there are things that you can't see as a visitor, but I think it's overall a very good facility. We know quite a few people who live there. They offer transportation, and they do and plan activities. They have housekeeping in the apartment, a washer and dryer in each apartment, and meals in very nice dining rooms. It feels like a very nice and warm facility. They also have a skilled nursing facility and an assisted living component, which is small, and they are expanding, and they have a rehab center. It's a truly caring community. The connections that some of the staff develop with residents feels almost like a family situation, and that's what you're looking for when you're a senior. You don't want to be isolated. You want to be part of the community or part of a family.

One thing I like about White Oak is that it is in the community that I am used to. I have lived here in several homes of my own and the only reason I wanted to move was because I got tired of cooking and, since they provide a meal, it is the perfect answer. They have an activity bus, but I am still driving so I haven’t done much with it, but it is there when I need it. I have transportation to appointments and a nurse on call, and they check at night to make sure that you are alive and well. We have a wellness center and have travel logs, various speakers, and wine for dinner on Sundays, so it is hard to beat. They have a limited library and our quarters are exceptionally nice. We have crown molding and nice carpet; it is a two-bedroom, two-bath. The food is very good.

We visited White Oak Manor. It was very positive. It did not seem to be terribly expensive. However, we were there on a weekend, and we only met very few people. We did not get a good tour of the building. The staff was good.

this is a five star facility which has had two years of deficiency free surveys by the state of NC. The residents and their families seem to be happy with the services provided. For those who can, there are a number of activities morning and afteroon. There are two dining rooms, one for those who do not need assistance and one for those who do. Meals are also served in rooms if necessary. there is a very large patio in which residents are encourage to use as well as a comfortable front porch. There is a very nice family atmosphere that prevails in this facility and one which others could learn from.

I found that they have a lot of different types of care including: Assisted living, short term rehabilitation, senior apartments, nursing homes and Alzheimer's care. The place inside and out looked really clean and very well cared for. Most of every one there seemed to have nice things to say about their over all experience. It was within a relatively short range from the main hospital center which is always a good thing for these kinds of places. I noticed that the staff and other nurses are pretty friendly and up beat. I liked that about the place. Over all, I felt a positive vibe when I was there and I think it would be a place I could recommend to my grandmother, should she ever need a place like that, or even an elderly friend.

The staff appear to be friendly and considerate. Although they were friendly it seems that White Oak needs more CNA to keep up with the needs of their residents. The rooms were small and seemed kind of cluttered. Some rooms had two or three occupants in them. They offer both assisted living and regular apartments for residents who can be more self sufficient. I also noticed that there was a rather unpleasant odor coming from the building. It appears that they don't keep it as clean as they should. They have a nice eating area where residents can come or they may be served in their room if they wish. I think this could be a great nursing home but it definitely needs some improvements done to it. There is an area for them to have activities as well and it appeared that many of the residents were taking part in this.
