Oakland Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation

My grandmother stayed here recently after a fall and fractured her hip. I have to say after visiting with her at this facility to make sure she was being taken care, the staff was super helpful with all of her needs, and rehab was on point. Nursing care was top notch, and everyone I came to talk with was super friendly and supportive. Will definitely recommend this facility to anyone who needs this level of care. Kudos to the staff and this hidden gem in Oakland!

This is the absolute best rehab facility, highly recommend for your loved ones! It’s clean, the staff is friendly, and they truly care about your needs. The rehab team is top notch, with a special shout out to Olivia, Susan, and Denise! Thank you all for your hard work, you all are a huge help to making my loved one comfortable & feel at home.

My elderly MIL was referred to this facility for PT & OT. The staff/therapists here were exceptional and performed their duties with the utmost respect and patience. In particular, the director, Dr. Singer made sure that all of our needs were met and my MIL received the care that she needed to improve her mobility. Highly recommend!

My stay at this facility was a bit of a challenge. However Veronica made me feel confident and comfortable. She took awesome care of me. She calmed me down when I was at my peak of losing it. When I was hungry, she fed me. When I was thirsty she gave me water to drink. She also gave me a shoulder to lean on. I truly appreciate her dearly.

I have been a patient for almost 4 weeks now at Oakland Heights. My physical therapy is going slow but everyone is so patient and encouraging. Julius is my best cheerleader. And Cheryl, Susan, Rico and Celine are awesome Julius is always ready to help with all sorts of therapy. The CNA’s are the best. The nurses are great and the Doctor is super easy to talk to. I feel like everyone is a part of my family. I can really feel the love and hope that they can help me. I will walk again. !

My 95 year old mother was transferred to Oakland Heights for rehab after discharged from Summit Med Center due to a spinal compression fracture. We visited her everyday for the past 5-6 weeks, all I want to say is this facility truly has a great management team. Everyone has been courteous, respectful and professional from the physicians, directors, RNs, CNAs, to the OTs/PTs, front desk and activity team. At the beginning, the nursing director Andrew and social services director Marissa talked to us about the program for my mother’s stay. The patients here have 4 physician visits every week. We discussed the pain medications with Nick, the surgical wound and bed sores were closely monitored and treated. The CNAs provided the most direct care to the patients, they worked very hard and special thanks to Karen for her great smile and wonderful personality. This facility has a strong team of OTs/PTs, especially Celine, Aaron, Rico and Susan, they helped my mother to strengthen her core muscle and leg muscle to regain her mobility. My mother got her medications at the right time, Lydia and Allan were very knowledgeable and caring. The facility is very clean, spacious and the housekeepers come several times a day to keep the place smell nice. My mother enjoyed the meal provided and the bingo and blackjack games hosted by Hannah. Thank you to everyone at Oakland Heights for all your help and support in mother’s recovery. We would highly recommend this facility for anyone in need.

My mother was a resident at the Oakland Heights facility for just over 11 years after suffering a stroke that prevented her from walking, dressing and generally caring for herself. The first several years were under the auspices of the Salem Lutheran Home, which was a nonprofit organization that had managed the property for decades. It was a very caring, high quality institution. Salem could not afford to maintain the facility and it was sold, in part to an assisted living operator. The nursing and rehabilitation portion was leased on a very long term basis to Aspen Healthcare, which is a for profit company that continues to run the facility today. I was concerned that the quality of care might suffer as a result of this change, but that was not the case. The level of concern and attention paid to residents at Oakland Heights is just outstanding. Staff turnover is pretty low--and certainly this place shines in comparison to other facilities I've seen in the area when visiting residents there. I don't recommend having a loved one reside in a skilled nursing facility for 10+ years. It is less than ideal in most respects. However, I believe that Oakland Heights is a place that can manage that well. and would not hesitate to use it. I recommend it highly.

I had a family member that was admitted here for some rehab services. It was the best decision for my aunt. She was skeptical to go to a nursing home after having surgery because she has a bad experience at another nursing home. I met Nancy the facility representative at the hospital who encouraged us to come and visit for a tour. Everything she mentioned about this place was true. Oakland Heights is by far the best nursing home I’ve ever visited. The facility, the people and the care you receive here is top notch. The facility is beautiful and halls are spacious. I’m very impressed with the place looking so impeccably clean. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the managers there during my visit. Karen the Rehab Director is very knowledgeable about the specific treatments designed for my aunt. Susan a nurse manager was also very helpful and answered our nursing concerns. Everyone I had a pleasure meeting was very kind and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to place their loved one in a nursing home.
