We recently located my father to White Lake, in the middle of the Covid Pandemic. My dad was not being properly taken care of at the previous facility he was at. With Covid brought more challenges to Nursing Homes, and unfortunately his quality of life diminished at his previous location. However, an opportunity arose for us to give White Lake a try. I can't say enough good things about this HOME. My dad is young for being in longterm care, and he already looks years younger. He is happy. Not many people can say their loved ones are happy in a nursing home. This facility strives on homelike quality and family values. We are so thrilled to know our dad will not be spending the rest of his days being forgotten about or left in bed all day. It feels so good knowing he is in the best care possible for his unique needs.
