Ok i hope the psyche ward tyoe lockdown stuffs over. They accommodated my diet fairly well and no creepy crawlers around so far. They have been more accommodating with some things considering other places usual habits. Theres a wound care nurse here who should have her pay doubled. 4 years of what i called toe rot from hell, not a single doctor or nurse could tell me anything about it until this nurse told me it was two things. and correct scientific latin names Thank you. As to other things like doctors ignoring things i believe a new medical student would know. But after all This Is Oakland, A city different from most so called American cities, what would you expect from an Oakland nursing home. thats why i live here

I did a short while ago however it's not here or unavailable. Be back soon. The ending results are a death that should not have happened. Their Personal Choice. By the way? Who and where is the Doctor? I could not locate nor speak with him at all. I tried numerous times face to face and by phone. I got NO callbacks and when I walked in I was told that he wasn't in the times I had came in to find. Dr. Hugo E. Altamorina. We didn't get to meet and now my brother is no longer alive. Some data in the record didn't add up either.Not all just an important factor that wasn't true and it matters. The reason for being that I'm told was reported. I tried to contact the source God is Able

This establishment is truly exceptional for your beloved family member. I am a regular visitor to this establishment. I highly praise the committed staff who look after the individuals residing in this establishment. Some individuals may have impractical hopes when it comes to healthcare facilities, particularly nursing homes. The notion that everything should always go smoothly in a nursing home is a mirage. A nursing home serves as a sanctuary for our loved ones when we are unable to provide care ourselves. I am grateful for the compassion they show when I am unable to be there. The work they do is undoubtedly challenging. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Fruitvale for their dedication.

if you have family members who need nursing care outside the home, DO NOT SEND TO THIS PLACE!! Staff is rude and will not tell the truth. Communication sucks. Have called several times placed on hold for over 15 minutes on calls no one came back to say anything that could not reach the requested person or to take a message. Administrative staff is terrible. (need to reevaluate who's in charge at the site. I would not send my dog, cat or bird to this place for help.

DO NOT SEND YOUR FAMILY TO THIS PLACE!!! The administration is RUDE and doesn't care about what you say. I have never been so disgusted about how people in this line of work talk to family members. They removed my family member, never CALLED anyone and now wants to LIE and say they called. I have pictures of how this place looked when they moved into place. Clothes gone missing. They went missing for days and no one called to let us know this. Once they did - told us to make a police report. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE‼️ How do you remove someone and don't call family

My mother is in this facility. We have popped up there many times without them knowing we was coming and my mom was laying in bed diaper had not been changed we bought my mom several new clothes each time we go her clothes are missing and has been mixed in with other people clothes that stay there and we have a sign stating that family will wash clothes. The staff is very rude and is only there for a paycheck. I have threatened to call the state on there facility. Everytime i call to speak to my mom the staff will answer than have me on hold for 15 minutes acting like they cant find the phone. It is overall a horrible place to put your family.
