  • Whispering Oaks Description

    Whispering Oaks showcases the rural beauty of the Shenango Valley. This Hermitage senior living community is 30 minutes from Youngstown and near Sharon Regional and U.P.M.C Health Systems and Grove City Outlets. Don’t miss Buhl Community Park, Fellows Riverside Gardens, and The Butler Institute of American Art.

    Wake up at Whispering Oaks to a staff that cares. We are a Holiday Retirement senior living community in Hermitage, PA.

    Residents appreciate the freedom and flexibility our independent living communities offer as needs around personal care and medical assistance change. Choosing a la carte from third-party health care and personal care providers* -- many with offices right inside the community -- gives them the power to choose their providers and obtain similar services as they would in a higher level of care like assisted living, but without giving up the independence, warm community of friends, and fun-loving atmosphere they enjoy so much.
