Oakland Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center Oakland, NJ

We recently brought mom for sub acute rehab at Oakland. We choose Oakland due to its CNS 5 star rating and also through referrals from our family and friends. This place is extremely neat and clean. The staff is top notch. They really take care of people with integrity, honesty and warm hearts. They understand mom’s condition and are very creative in administering therapy. We have seen some results in just 3 days. We give this place a 5 star ourselves and would recommend this place to anyone who demands the best for their loved one.

My mother is in Oakland Rehab Center. It's wonderful and has a great staff. It's not the fanciest of centers, however, the staff is wonderful and the rehab is some of the best in New Jersey. It's great, it doesn't smell, and it's good. They have some five-star ratings for what they have there. My mom has to be mostly fed there since she's learning to eat again and she's in a diaper. She also has to be transferred and dressed. The food is not overly fancy, but it's fine and it's a very clean place. The dining room is also very fancy, and the food looks very good, but I haven't eaten there. My mom had creamed parmesan and spinach, and orzo pasta today. The staff is very friendly and they take the time to talk to the family about what's going on. They're not short with you. They've been very patient with my mother, even when she was ornery and going through Sundowners. They have a huge board for each month in the dining room and the residents can make choices about what they want to do. They have things to do and a sitting room where the residents can play pool, cards, or watch TV. It's a great big lounge room for them. And then there's an outside patio where she was sitting outside today, so that's really nice. What would make this place better is if it were newer. She's on the side of the community that's just rehab, and the people are pretty severe on her side. We haven't gone to the other side yet where the longer-term patients are.

My mother was brought here after cardiac ICU at Valley Hospital. Looked ok at first but she hated it! Called me at work every hour asking to get out. I moved her to Woodcliff Lake, NJ rehab - much, much better.

If you care about your loved one(s) do not let them live here!!! These people allowed a patient with dimentia wander into my grandma's room in the middle of the night, while she was sleeping, and push her out of bed. They downplayed my grandma's injuries to my uncle, telling him that she broke her leg and she would be ok. In fact, she shattered her pelvis, and died in route to the hospital before my uncle could get to her. While the staff was helping my grandma, the patient was able to wander into someone else's room and push her out of bed as well. If there was a no star option for rating, that's what they would've gotten from me.
