The staff was friendly and attentive to the needs of the residents. The facilities were clean. The overall feel of the place was friendly and welcoming, but there was an overall pall throughout the place. I think it was all the senile old people. When you get down to it, Alzheimer's patients are really depressing to be around, as they are all breathing reminders of our own impending mortality. Care facilites seem aimed mostly at relatives coming to visit, and less at the actual residents themselves. I'm sure this can't be helped, as the residents are mostly unaware of their surroundings, but the whole affair remains unsettling. I don't like spending time there.

I visited this facility
I really enjoyed my visit with my client in Oak Creek Center. He had a progressive case of Alzheimer's that was causing him to forget nearly everything - including the name of his relatives. Oak Creek put him on a green veggie diet to help his symptoms - and it seemed to do a lot for him.
I'm sure that the area here also helped him - as the air comes in very clean off of the San Fransisco bay in Castro Valley. He seemed to be doing much better after a month here than he ever has since I have worked with him.
I would most definitely recommend this facility for Alzheimer's care for anyone in the Hayward / SF / Castro Valley area.
