U.S. News & World Report has recognized White Oaks of McHenry as being among the best in the nation for memory care.
The memory care community is located at 4605 W. Crystal Lake Road in McHenry, Illinois and is specially designed to serve older adults with Alzheimer’s or related dementia.
The U.S. News designation of 2022-23 Best in Assisted Living was awarded only to the communities that earn the highest possible rating on consumer satisfaction surveys of residents and family member of residents. The surveys were administered between March 2021 and February 2022 and reflect the viewpoints of more than 200,000 residents and family members in thousands of senior living, assisted living, and memory care communities nationwide.
The community is managed by Gardant Management Solutions, Inc., which is based in Bourbonnais, Illinois. More than 20 Gardant-managed communities were recognized by U.S. News with Best in Assisted Living and Best in Memory Care designations.
“We are honored that White Oaks of McHenry was among the communities recognized by U.S News as being among the best in the nation,” says Rod Burkett, Gardant CEO. “Our focus in memory care is to provide opportunities residents to maintain a sense of purpose in all seasons of dementia. We are committed to our mission of enriching the lives of the residents we serve by providing them with the Love, Compassion, and Dignity they deserve in addition to the personal assistance and support services they need.”
This year marked the U.S. News inaugural Best Senior Living ratings. Ratings were provided for Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care and Continuing Care Retirement Communities based on consumer satisfaction data collected from nearly 2,500 communities nationwide. For assisted living and memory care, factors that were evaluated by U.S. News included value and the quality of care, activities, management, staff, food, maintenance, and housekeeping.
The White Oaks of McHenry memory care community was awarded a 2021 Bronze Quality Award from the American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living.
