Our History

White Oak Management, Inc. was founded by Oliver Kent Cecil in 1964. Together with his wife Bettye, they created a family of dynamic and inviting homes for the aging population. White Oak of Spartanburg was the first location in what has expanded into an operation of 15 healthcare facilities in North and South Carolina. Each have Skilled Nursing Centers and provide Short-Term Rehabilitation. Four locations also have Independent Living Apartments, two have Assisted Living buildings, and one has a dedicated Memory Care unit. 

White Oak joined the National HealthCare Corporation (NHC) family in 2024 and together we continue to strive to serve our residents and staff with excellence. For more information on NHC, please visit their website.
