Meet Taylor Haynes, Manager of Oak Wood Estates

Taylor previously served as the Admissions, Social Service, and Psychosocial Director at Oak Lane. She joined the team in 2017, starting her journey as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) before progressing to the Activity Director position in 2019.

In 2022, Taylor assumed the role of Admissions Director. People often referred to me as a “jack of all trades!” Recently,

Taylor said she applied for the manager position at Oak Wood and was thrilled to be chosen and to embark on this new adventure.

Taylor is married and lives in Oquawka with her husband, Brody, and their son, Kage. Their family includes three dogs: Drake, Elly, and Lulu.

Taylor grew up in the Rozetta/Oquawka area and currently reside in the very home where she spent part of my childhood.

Taylor’s husband works as a Sheet metal Journeyman in the Union, and five-year-old Kage, is in Pre-School, transitioning to Kindergarten next school year.

Taylor cherishes moments with her family, particularly enjoying outdoor activities like camping and relaxing by the river. Florida is a favorite vacation spot, and Kage often asks when they can see the palm trees.

Although Taylor considers herself somewhat introverted, she says, her role at Oak Lane has encouraged her to step out of her comfort zone. Regularly interacting with families, the community, and the wonderful residents has brought her great joy.

“I am eager to begin this new position and can’t wait to connect with the staff and residents at Oak Wood.”

Stop by and say hello. Taylor looks forward to meeting you.
