Description

So it's 5:30, and you have just finished watching the evening news, and you decide that you want to catch up with the latest happenings with your neighbors today. So you head down to the kitchen, where there are people talking and laughing, and giving Chef Joe pointers on the best way to make tonight's meal. You sit down at the counter and chat with everyone as chef puts the final touches on your evening meal. It's a great experience that as been tailored to you and your neighbors. And tomorrow at breakfast, you get to do it all over again.

This is just one aspect of the home model that has been created by Loe Hornbuckle with Sage Oak Denton. Their unique model of creating a campus of small residential homes has blended the best of both worlds in senior living - the focused care and support of the residential model, and the efficiencies of a large community. They operate off of a simple philosophy: great care, great food, great communication. And in this episode of TFT, Aaron & Loe take a deeper look at the uniqueness of the model, how food plays a critical role, and how this could be the answer for seniors looking for a different living option.

Loe Hornbuckle is the CEO and founder of Sage Oak Assisted Living and Memory Care. Founded in 2015, Sage Oak isn’t just another assisted living company, Sage Oak is “the boutique assisted living company” with 5 locations in Dallas and a total of 40 beds. Sage Oak provides small, intimate, home settings that allow those who need a little extra care to receive the love and dignity that they deserve. Sage Oak also has two ground up boutique assisted living/memory care developments now open in Texas and Louisiana totaling just under 300 beds.
