Living at White Oak Villages
Our residents feel “at home” while living with us because they are at home. Programs are based on each resident’s individual needs and allow the most flexibility for your loved ones. When your loved one joins our family, we take the time to get to know them. We incorporate their favorite foods into the menu and play music from their favorite musicians. Our objective is to make our residents comfortable in their new home.

“My Dad lived at Normandy for four (4) AMAZING years…The staff and owner took care of my Dad like he was a member of their own family…I will be forever grateful to the ‘angels on earth’ at Normandy for taking such loving care of my Dad.” ~LISA GRESHAM
“White Oak Villages at Rosemar is a lovely home. When I first found it as a place for my mother, I thought it was almost too good to be true. You feel like you are walking into a loving family home. The residents gather in the dining room for meals, do puzzles, listen to music, or watch tv in comfortable recliners. If it is nice outside, they can sit on the beautiful front porch overlooking a well-kept yard full of flowers. The home is always extremely clean, and they decorate for every holiday and celebrate every birthday. The residents are served delicious meals. I came by once to find them eating shrimp scampi for dinner and it looked amazing. I can’t praise the staff members enough. They love each resident as if they were their own parent. They are really in-tuned to the needs of your loved one. My mother is non-verbal, but the staff members can always tell when she has something going on. I sleep well knowing Catherine and her team are caring for my mother.” ~HEATHER PACE
