White Oak Charleston was a savior to me. I am only 56 but I had a bad fall and needed physical therapy and occupational therapy. White Oak provided excellent services for these, but it was also a nursing home. I am a disabled vet so the va sent me here for treatment. The pt/ot staff was amazing, all if them, but my two were outstanding. The medical staff were all polite, very nice, and extremely professional. I've learned to be quiet and watch and listen and I walked that place many times and never heard a bad word spoken to a resident. They have an activities director that had things for everyone to do from parties to Bible studies. The administrators were approachable and extremely helpful. The main administrator i already considered a friend by the third day, and as a bonus he played football in college. So, I highly recommend White Oak Charleston for you or your loved ones to rehabilitate or rest.

I did not have a good experience except for the 2 young women who gave me 30 minutes of Physical Therapy once a day. I was sent to Rehab because I had an infection in my bladder so needed Physical Therapy as well as medical care for the Foley catheter. Many of the staff—- nurses, doctors, medical technicians did not wear uniforms or visible ID, nor did they introduce themselves when they entered my room. I never knew who was treating me or why. There was no communication between nurses at shift change, so the night nurse did not know how I was that day and the day nurse did not know how I was during the night. One night the on duty nurseSimple thing….the white board was not filled in letting me know what day it was or the name of my nurse for the day. I was given new Rx without explanation. When I asked why I was getting the drug, I was often told “I don’t know but it has your name on it.” One day the recliner chair I was sitting on actually fell over on top of me. .i couldn’t reach the call button so I managed to get out from under on my own. Then I called for help, explained what happened. I was then listed as a fall risk and told to call for help if I needed to get up. That night I had stomach cramps so called but no one came. I got up, went to the bathroom. 10 minutes later cramping returned,.. Again I called for help but again no one came so I got up and went to the bathroom. Then I had a panic attack. I called for help but no one came. I was out of control and kept ringing for help……after 45 minutes a nurse came in and just started screaming at me….calling me a selfish baby because I was calling so much. She had NO idea about my medical condition. I tried to explain but she did not want to hear. It wasn’t until I said I was calling911 that she listened to me and brought me Rx to calm me down and put me to sleep. When a doctor came in the next morning I asked if she heard what happened the night before. Of course she had not. When I told her she said that nurse would not be assigned to me again.It was a very difficult time for me. Because of it I experienced several panic attacks….never had one before and have not had one since I am home. The food was terrible. However when the dietician noticed that I was not eating, she came in and asked why. We agreed that I could tolerate oatmeal for breakfast and green salads for lunch and dinner, along with chocolate or vanilla Ensure. Would I recommend white Oak Manor. If all you need is Physical/Occupational Therapy, then yes. However if you need medical care as well, find

My mother has been at White Oak for close to a year and a half. We have found the staff to be kind and very accommodating. They have lots of activities for the residents to take part in. As well as opportunities for the residents to share concerns or ask questions of the staff. I appreciate all they do for my mother and my family.

White oak is a bit of an older facility, but my Dad has been in this rehab for several weeks now. Everything seems to be going well. The staff (nurses, cna's as well as therapists) seems to be supportive and kind. His rehab was going really well until he had symptoms that sent him over to the hospital. After being stuck in the hospital for some time we've had to start from square one with rehab, but I'm confident that the team at White oak Manor will get him strong again.
