Overview of The Oaks by Windham

The Oaks by Windham is a 54-bed assisted living facility located at 6191 Peake Road in Macon, Georgia. Managed by Spencer J. Windham, the community belongs to the WindCorp network of care facilities operating across Middle Georgia. The property provides personal care services in an environment designed for residents who require varying levels of daily assistance.

Records from the Georgia Department of Community Health indicate a stable start for this community following its licensure in September 2025. During a change of ownership inspection conducted on October 10, 2025, the facility achieved a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. Currently, there are no documented complaint investigations, fines, or enforcement actions in the available public record, reflecting compliance with state health and safety requirements.

The facility benefits from its association with an established regional healthcare network, which provides operational continuity for residents transitioning between different care settings. While the Macon location is considered car-dependent with a Walk Score of zero, the campus is designed as a standalone personal care option within a larger middle Georgia service area. Because the site is recently licensed, its regulatory history is limited but shows initial adherence to mandatory licensing standards.

Individuals seeking a new assisted living option in the Macon area may find this facility’s clean initial record and regional corporate backing beneficial. This environment is suitable for those looking for a small-scale community where they can establish care as the facility expands its operations.

Georgia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Georgia) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
