Welcome to The HomePlace Special Care at Oak Harbor!

The area offers residents and visitors top attractions for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and history buffs. For unmatched natural beauty visit Deception Pass State Park, South Whidbey Island, or tour the San Juan Islands by plane. Stop at local wineries for a picturesque lunch. Tour the historic lighthouses and the Pacific Northwest Naval Air museum for a bit of history. There’s a lot to do and see in Oak Harbor and surrounding areas.
At HomePlace Special Care at Oak Harbor, we take great pride in the reputation that our team has earned for delivering highly personalized, compassionate Memory Care services designed to meet our residents’ physical, emotional and spiritual needs. We have created a safe and secure home-like atmosphere where residents thrive.
Before a resident moves into our property, customized assessments are completed so individual care plans can be created. These care plans are updated routinely or when a health condition arises. In addition to the Medical Director, our community is staffed by highly trained LPN’s and HCA’s who are hired not only for their professional skills but also for their compassionate and warm personalities.

One gorgeous fall day residents picked apples. Their harvest was used to make apple pies that residents also helped make.
