Founded in 2005, Spring Oak Senior Living is a second generation, family-owned senior living business. David Sebbag launched the company with a simple goal: to create a living community for seniors centered on care and integrity. Today, under his sons’ leadership — Joseph Sebbag (CEO & President) and Samuel Sebbag (CFO & Executive Vice President) — alongside Frank Evegan (COO), that mission continues to shape communities across New Jersey, Virginia and South Carolina, where residents are cared for with warmth and respect.

Meet Spring Oak Senior Living
We sat down with the Sebbag family to learn more about their values-driven company and how they are maintaining a culture committed to patient care and integrity amid a period of exciting growth.
What role does Spring Oak play in the senior living industry?
Spring Oak sets a higher standard for what assisted living and memory care should be: personal, connected and full of life. As the company continues to grow, each new community is approached with the intention of creating places where residents feel supported, valued and truly at home. With a focus on hands-on leadership, compassionate care and genuine relationships, we’re helping redefine senior living — one community, one family and one connection at a time.
In one word, what sets Spring Oak apart?
Heart.
It’s the center of everything we do. From our leadership to our team members, we lead with genuine care and humanity. Families often tell us that walking into a Spring Oak community feels different — it feels like home. That culture of heart and hospitality has become our hallmark and the foundation of our motto, “Welcome to the Family.”
What impact has having the right banking partner had on your business?
Our partnership with Customers Bank has given us the flexibility and confidence to continue growing while staying true to our mission. Their team brings both financial expertise and a genuine understanding of who we are: a family-owned company built on trust, care and community.
What advice do you have for fellow business owners?
More often than not, companies in an industry claim to be unique in the same ways. The key is identifying what makes you unique in a different way — an impactful way.
Our true differentiator is our values. We’re a senior living company where everyone — residents, families and staff — should feel like family. We always try to stand by that value and prove that we’re a group of real people who understand the real-life challenges that people face. It’s not just messaging; it’s something people should actually feel when they interact with us.
