Oakland Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation

Helen

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.
