I had such a great experience at this facility. My mom needed PT and OT due to a fall while gardening. This facility was patient yet motivating towards her recovery. Gratefully, after 3 weeks, she was able to discharge home and do transitional rehab. As I watch her, get better and better, I needed to take the time to show Oakland Heights some love. Thank you for taking great care of my mom.

Clean facility and attentive staff. What more can you ask for? A lot of facilities have an odor as soon as you walk in, but not at Oakland Heights Nursing & Rehab. That should say a lot already. I was experiencing some issues at first, but they addressed it and fixed it, and I can respect that. Thank you Oakland Heights for taking care of me!

My family member fell and broke their hip and needed skilled nursing before going home. Oakland Heights came highly recommended by the hospitals. It's a very charming gated community tucked away up the hill from Highland Hospital. It gives a great sense of community and security upon entering the gate. We toured with Tamara the admissions assistant and the rooms are spacious and has a lot of natural light which is culturally important for my loved one. They have Cantonese and Mandarin speaking staff so language barrier isn't an issue. The cozy and friendly atmosphere is important for healing and that's exactly what this beautiful facility provides. We ended up choosing their sister facility due to proximity to where my family lives but I highly recommend this hidden gem!

My Father was transferred here for rehab. No one seems to know where he is. His phone goes straight to voicemail, meaning that it is not near him or not charged(he is 93) when I call they don't even know where he is. DO NIT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE!

I'm currently here at Oakland Heights. The rehab people are top notch and are compassionate and excellent at their jobs. The CNAs have been caring as well. They ask about how I'm doing and scold me if I'm not eating. The real issue comes during the night. There are not enough people to service this place. I have gotten the story that they have enough people mandated by the state. Well, that's not enough. Right now, as I write this, I have been waiting 45 minutes after pressing my call button. That's reprehensible and dangerous. It is 5:33 in the morning. I pressed the button at 4:45. I reset the button and pressed it again, hoping to get someone's attention, but no luck. While I'm fortunate that my needs do not rise to an emergency level, I shudder to imagine that future. This is not the first time that this has happened. I brought my concerns to a manager, who told me the line about having the mandated amount. That time, I was waiting for pain medication, which took about twenty minutes to answer my call. I could not recommend this place in good conscience to someone who is not fully mobile. The risk is not worth it. Daytime, I would give this place four stars, after hours, clearly zero. I'm finishing this at 5:40 and no one has come by to check on me.

Oakland Heights Senior Living Was a Lifesaver for My Family When my father’s caregiver was suddenly hospitalized, I had to find immediate care for him. He’s in the middle stages of dementia and couldn’t be left alone. I was referred to Best Life Ever, who connected me to Oakland Heights in Oakland, CA—and from that point on, I felt supported. Amy, the intake coordinator, was compassionate and responsive. Incredibly, she helped place my father within 48 hours. The first night was tough, but Uma and the care team got him through it with patience and empathy. By day two, my father had settled in and even told me he liked the facility—a huge relief. Though his stay was just six days of respite care, the peace of mind it gave me was priceless. I also appreciated the kindness and professionalism of the facility director, who stayed engaged throughout the process. I wholeheartedly recommend Oakland Heights to anyone seeking short- or long-term care for a loved one. Their team truly cares.

Oakland Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation has been a blessing for our family. From the moment we toured the facility, we were met with professionalism and warmth. The nurses are responsive, and the therapists go above and beyond in helping residents recover and thrive. We’ve seen so much improvement in our father's condition since his stay here.

Our experience with Oakland Heights has been excellent. The staff made a difficult transition so much easier with their patience and understanding. They treat residents with dignity and respect, and it shows in how happy and cared-for everyone looks. The activities and therapy programs are also well thought out and engaging.

It was my least favorite of the places I visited. I did not like that place. The hallways were cluttered with all kinds of equipment and things. I was not impressed with the staff. The two people that I ran into, they were both new and seemed a little disorganized. I did not like the facility because you have to get up to their skilled nursing part, so you have to take an elevator. That concerns me because we live in an earthquake area. So I'm wondering if there's an earthquake, how would they evacuate the people with the one elevator and people in wheelchairs? I didn't like the way it smelled. Some of the patients were sitting in the halls, and I just didn't like the way that staff people kind of walk past them without any kind of interaction. They seem to be invisible. They showed me a room, but they only have one single room (which was occupied). I didn't really care for the place. I wasn't impressed with that at all. They have a nice outside part, but I didn't like the idea that they have to transport all these patients with this one elevator. I saw one lady eating out in the hallway. I don't know why she was eating in the hallway. It seemed like a good meal, and she seemed to be enjoying it.
