We did our homework for 2 years before deciding on the Oaks at Whitaker Glen. Checked out so many places, none came near on any of the boxes we needed checked. By far, the nicest, most genuine staff and administrators around. REAL people, quick to address concerns. Low key, low pressure. We anxiously await their call telling us "your space is ready". Tick, tock

I can say that the kitchen staff and dining room manager and food is great!! The Oaks at Whitaker Glen is a family felt environment. The administration is great. And we love the new executive director.
