Review

White Oak Manor, located in North Carolina, has received mixed reviews from visitors and family members of residents. One reviewer had a positive experience, praising the staff members they encountered during the admission process. They specifically mentioned Katie, Melissa, and the nursing staff as being helpful and kind. The therapy staff and administrator Stacey were also commended. Overall, this individual would recommend White Oak Manor to others.

However, another reviewer expressed deep anger and frustration regarding their experience with the facility during the COVID-19 pandemic. They lamented that due to safety measures, their daughter-in-law was unable to visit her mother who was a resident there. Unfortunately, their mother contracted COVID-19 and ultimately passed away from it. The reviewer questions the effectiveness of safety measures if an employee exposed their loved one to the virus. Additionally, they are upset that there has been no communication or explanation from the nursing home about their loved one's death.

Another review comes from a family member whose mother has been residing at White Oak Manor for two years. They appreciate that their mother has made friends and enjoys participating in activities provided by the facility. As a flight attendant, they feel at ease knowing that their mom is well taken care of while they are away. However, they have had issues with lost laundry items and lack of reimbursement for them. Despite this problem, they still recommend White Oak Manor and commend the communication between staff members and themselves.

A visitor who evaluated White Oak Manor noted that the beds were spacious and rooms were updated compared to other facilities in Gastonia. However, they mention that there is only one driver available to transport residents for appointments. Another individual shares that White Oak Manor caters to those with dementia and provides meals, bathing assistance, snacks, and daily activities for residents.

Finally, a disappointed family member reveals several concerning issues with White Oak Manor's care standards. They express regret for not being aware earlier that minimal care would be provided unless they visited twice a day. They criticize the facility for forcing their loved one with edema and heart issues to sit up late at night and not addressing bathing concerns for a resident with dementia. Additionally, they discovered that urine was left on the floor until it dried if no one raised the issue. The reviewer believes these problems stem from understaffing, lack of employee training, and ineffective management.

In conclusion, White Oak Manor has received both positive and negative feedback. While some individuals had positive experiences with attentive staff and engaging activities, others expressed frustration over communication issues, lost items, lapses in care, and safety concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic. Potential residents and their families should carefully consider these reviews before making a decision about this nursing home.
