Tiana S.

Resident Care Assistant

“The best part about working at White Oaks is getting to know the residents and their families. Doing activities with the residents in the memory care program is especially fun. The residents love playing Uno, which is my favorite too. I’ve worked at White Oaks for 5 years now…it’s a great place to work.”

Nancy A.

Resident Care Assistant

“Working here allows me to meet so many new people. I enjoy hearing the stories from the residents because they have so many interesting things to talk about. I’ve heard about everything from outhouses to regular plumbing. Just the other day Margie was telling me about riding her horse 8 miles to school. Each resident is unique and I come to work every day wanting to know more about them. By knowing their history and stories, I can meet their needs so much better.”

Pat W.

Resident Care Assistant

“We’re like a family. Sometimes we have our ups and downs, but at the end of the day it’s always a good feeling. I enjoy talking to the residents individually and learning about them. And I love to see their feisty side. I was only going to work here 6 months…that was in 2004!”

Linda Sue D.

Cook and Dietary Aide

“For 14 years I have worked at White Oaks, and it has been so enjoyable. I love to hear the stories from the residents and getting to know their personalities. I have heard so many great stories from great people. I also enjoy cooking meals for the residents, and of course, I love all the hugs I get from them too.”

Rocky S.

Maintenance

“I’ve worked at other places and I’ve never felt so much freedom to express my ideas as I do here. When I started working here in 2007, I learned from Victor to say hello to each resident. At that time I was surprised that he knew each resident by name. Now I not only know each resident but their stories too. Give them five minutes and you can learn a lifetime.”

Michelle D.

Visiting Professional, Hospice Care of Southwest Michigan

"I have worked closely with the White Oaks staff as a hospice nurse for the past 5 years and have found that they successfully balance professionalism with creating a caring family-like atmosphere. Their residents' well-being is very important to everyone at White Oaks and it shows in the care they provide."
