Lisle Villages forms new alliance with White Oak

Lisle Villages have recently formed a new alliance with White Oak Home Care Services, to become its preferred home care service provider.

Since 1998 White Oak have been providing flexible, practical, high quality and economical services for seniors including:

• Personal Care
• Domestic Assistance
• Nursing
• Meal Preparation
• Shopping
• Transport
• Garden, Home Maintenance & Modification

White Oak are ISO accredited and an approved provider of government funded programs, including Home Care Packages and Veterans Home Care. 

Lisle Villages General Manager Mandy Green said the agreement would also help clear up questions for her residents.

“Home care packages really are a minefield and to be able to have a trusted provider such as the White Oak team to refer our residents to will really help give them peace of mind,” Mandy said.

“White Oak and Hall & Prior are a family business and that resonates with us; this agreement will really help our residents navigate the system and get the help they need.

“I look forward to working with the White Oak team.”

White Oak General Manager Treasa Lonergan said the new cooperation agreement gives residents a range of options and makes sense.

“This is about empowering Lisle Village’s residents to get the home care help they need, while also taking the stress out of the process,” Treasa said.

“It’s also a great opportunity for White Oak to become more well known in these communities and really help the residents enjoy their retirement by helping them navigate the often confusing home care system.”

As part of the agreement, White Oak will host morning teas with residents to field any enquiries, run information sessions, provide free advice on home care and have a dedicated coordinator available at the Villages.
