Caring for an aging loved one can become overwhelming as health needs increase. The stress of managing day-to-day activities, medical appointments, and personal care may begin to weigh heavily on families. Concerns about safety, proper nutrition, and constant supervision can create anxiety.

The need for a short-term break or continuous help can make families reconsider how best to support aging family members. This stage of life calls for understanding the support that can ensure their loved ones thrive.

At White Oak Villages, we have been dedicated to serving the Howard County community and surrounding areas with exceptional assisted living and respite care services. Our journey began with a clear mission: to foster a supportive and nurturing environment for seniors.

Our approach is centered around the belief that we are more than just a service provider; we are a family. This unique philosophy includes not only our residents but also their families and our compassionate staff, working together to offer personalized care and attention.

“I am so happy I found White Oak Villages. My mom lived her for 6 years. I did not want to put her in a “nursing home” and this is not that. Although they provide all of the services you want for your loved one, you don’t feel like you are in a clinical setting. It’s a beautiful home with stunning yard. The interior of the house is warm and inviting. Catherine and the exceptional staff create a family-like atmosphere and provide the best care for your loved one. I never had to worry or lose sleeping knowing my mom was there. She was in the best hands and I’m grateful her final years were spent in such a special place with people who loved her.”

“I was really surprised at the easy way that I acclimated myself to respite living. The accomadations were more than I expected.. I fell in love with the ease of being able to use the shower.”

“When my family member needed immediate around-the-clock care, I had a choice of several facilities. As soon as I saw White Oak Villages and met Catherine (owner) in person, I knew this was the place for him. The residence is clean and feels like “home,” and the comfort care was continuous during his stay. I loved that the home was in no way “institutional” and the grounds were well-kept with many large trees. I quickly noticed that the care providers and on-call nurses knew all the residents quite well.

Every resident had a recliner chair in the “community” area, and dinner was served in the dining room. I could often smell the aromas of their home-made dinners cooking in the kitchen in the afternoons. The owner and staff at White Oak Villages are kind and compassionate. They offer a very high level of care, and I can’t thank Catherine and the staff enough for the empathetic care they took of my loved one. I will always be grateful.”
