Thank you for making my days wonderful! Stephanie, thank you for helping me so much. Kurt from rehab was with me until the very last minute, he made sure my wheelchair was perfect before I went home and that I was able to transfer safely one last time.

\"\"“I know I have to go home but I don’t want to. This place could be my new home. The nurses were amazing. My favorite aide was Maria because she was very patient with me. The food was delicious. Therapy was so good that I am leaving sooner than I wanted to. Really, I don’t want to leave my best friend Daphne. She is my best friend in the whole wide world, and I will come back to visit her.”<\/p>\n

\"\"“When I first came to Oakland, I was in really bad shape. I couldn’t even turn on my bed. After some much-needed rehab, I am now able to walk on my own! I would like to thank the Oakland staff for their care. To my nurse, Shay: I thank you for always having a positive attitude and constantly having a smile on your face. To my aides, Mrs. Elaine & Verona: I thank Elaine for her care and calmness every day that kept me from getting worked up. She pushed me to be independent. Thank you both for making sure I was always clean and ready for bed at night. To Kathy, the unit clerk: Thank you for being diligent in scheduling my appointments and transportation. That was one thing off my wife’s plate. To Sam in therapy: Since the first time you sat me up and my body was slumped to the day you got me back to “Dance Mode”…you have been amazing. I am now ready for my daughter\u2019s wedding, and I am now strong enough for our Father\/Daughter dance. To Dr. Bamdas, wound doctor and Marybeth, nurse concierge: I had an unstageable sacral wound that required a wound vac. Because of your attention to detail, I am 95% healed. To the Dietician and the Kitchen: Thank you for making sure that I stayed within my limits of my diet that I needed to heal. I lost so much weight and went down to 149lbs. I am leaving Oakland at 170lbs strong and healthy. I recommend Oakland to anyone who needs the help, the care and most importantly, the compassion for their loved ones. I am grateful and I look forward to coming to visit as I keep improving at home.”<\/p>\n

\"\"“Thank you for everything that you guys did for me. Therapy was amazing and patient with me. They helped me gain my strength, and in turn I gain confidence. I am going home and doing it on my own. I ordered my motorized wheelchair and I can\u2019t wait to use it. Thank you to the Oakland team (Kyla, Lisa, Cindy, and the unit nurse) for always being supportive and helpful. Elaine, the CNA, is hands down the best. So happy I came to Oakland.”<\/p>\n

– Todd Ward<\/em><\/div>\n

\"\"“Thank you for being helpful in my recovery. All of the staff from rehab were super good. Thank you to Kathy and Katelyn for always helping me with the little things. Everyone is pleasant and is always wishing me well in my therapy and care. I’ve been to many nursing homes and Oakland Rehab has been the best by far. Lastly, when my husband was here, Oakland took care of him exactly how they took care of me. My choice will always be Oakland Rehab.”<\/p>\n

\"\"“I really feel good being home and it\u2019s all thanks to the team in Oakland. The therapy sessions were awesome. Michael from PT knew how to push me because he knew how hyper I was about recovery and going home. Thank you for the best care and rehab experience, the aides, especially Caroline, she was God sent. Thank you to the admissions team for always checking on me, answering my calls, and getting me the right people for my needs. I\u2019ve retired my dancing shoes for now, but Oakland is the best place to get yourself back into your dancing shoes.”<\/p>\n

\"\"“I am so grateful to the staff at Oakland for all the care and rehab I received. Everyone was so encouraging and made me feel confident I would do well at home. I came for a visit today to say thank you and share good news. I got married this year and was strong enough to walk down the aisle because of all you did for me. I hoped for this but didn\u2019t know it would happen. Thank you to everyone, especially therapy.”<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"I love this place. You know… The rehab was good. The nurses are so sweet and gave me so much attention. The room was so spacious too! I’m leaving only because there is no place like home. I also miss my wife. So, if I need more care or if anyone needs this type of care, it would be at Oakland Rehab.<\/p>\n

– Mikhail Medvedskiy<\/em><\/div>\n
\n

\"\"I would choose Oakland every time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The staff at Oakland took care of me like I was family. The rooms and facility was clean, the staff was friendly, available, and attentive. The rehab program was efficient and effective especially in the cardiac and pulmonary programs. I would personally recommend Oakland to my family and friends. I hope I never have to come back but if I did, I would choose Oakland every time.<\/p>\n

\"\"Oakland was amazing! Thank you for all you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think what you guys do here is amazing and so humbling! The time and effort that you put in my care and all the residents has been nothing but a blessing. The nurse takes the care very seriously and in turn, you see the results are also serious. I couldn\u2019t move after my fall and now I was able to manage to get in and out of your amazing little car successfully. I\u2019m leaving with so much confidence and I will keep working through it.<\/p>\n

\"\"“THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!<\/strong>
\nfor the one-hour visit with my Mom on her 98th birthday. When I told her how old she was, she said \u201cNo, I was born on August 22, 1923, I can\u2019t be 98 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was always like this. She never believed how old she became. I brought clothing for her and also gave her a small stuffed dog, which she loved. Again, thank you so much for your help in coordinating my visit.<\/p>\n

I know you are swamped with things to do, and going the extra mile for me is and was greatly appreciated!!!”<\/p>\n

\"\"You Brought Me Back To Life!<\/strong>
\n“Is this really a nursing home? I have been brought to you for a reason and that reason is for you to bring me back to life.

Oakland Rehab is like family!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I came to Oakland Rehab & Healthcare after I lost the use of my leg. I knew it would be a difficult road to recovery but with the assistance of the amazing staff, it was a very pleasant experience. As a former teacher, I like to know the plan, and at Oakland the staff really made me feel like I was part of a team. I knew what would be happening every step of the way.<\/p>\n

At rehab, when I achieved 45 hops I started crying from joy and the staff held me and cheered with me like they were my family! I really appreciate the entire staff, to name a few: Joe, Catherine, Maria, Evie, Eleanor, Jack, Margie, Andrew, Ella, Pam and anyone else I may be forgetting. It\u2019s been up and up from the beginning of my stay, I can\u2019t imagine why anyone would go anywhere else!<\/p>\n

The Rehab Here is Absolutely Outstanding!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"“Overall it was a wonderful experience! The staff is very friendly and attentive. They took excellent care of my mother. They are definitely worth the five stars! My mom was in here after her knee replacement surgery. The rehab here is absolutely outstanding! I highly recommend Matt and his staff. All of the nurses were amazing. Christina in the admissions department really made it very easy for us. She is very attentive and professional!! Linda is an asset to the nursing home. I even got to meet Mr. Gottlieb.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend this facility for any of your loved ones.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Latwasha Nelson is a stand-up caregiver and I would like to thank her for her kindness and compassion. We love Latwasha as much as our mother loves her, and are so grateful for this beautiful place.

I had the physical therapy and it was marvelous. Every therapist here is the best, I cannot say one is better than the other one! My main purpose was the physical therapy and I had a great time here.”<\/p>\n

– Vera Nachtigall<\/em><\/div>\n
\n

\"\"“From the moment I arrived at Oakland Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center, the service was 5-Star. I hear a lot of facilities say they care, but here the care and attention is really genuine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gene, Maria, and Monika really stood out for me. All the nursing staff and PT staff are so friendly \u2013 no one ever gives anything less than 100%. The cleanliness and brightness of the facility is always perfect! There is really nothing but positive things to say about this facility.”<\/p>\n

\nI would trust no other place for my complex cardiac needs!<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

THE ADMINISTRATION IS TO BE COMMENDED FOR BRINGING IN ENTERTAINMENT REGULARLY, & CONCERTS FOR A SPECIAL TREAT!<\/strong><\/p>\n

TO THE ADMINISTRATION & STAFF AT OAKLAND CARE CENTER,
\nI want to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone for the care given to my wife, Mary during her stay in the past eight months. The nurses and aides in 2D were caring, compassionate, professional, and friendly. If I do not mention them by name it is because I am old and forgetful. But I cannot forget Diane, Elizabeth, Beatrice, Sharon, and Rosie. It was not in their nature to be cold and impersonal in their duties. They tolerated my daily visits and consoled Mary when she begged me to take her home and I had to leave.<\/p>\n

The dining room staff always found a chair for me so I could sit beside Mary at lunchtime. I considered Stephanie to be another \u201cgranddaughter\u201d, such a cheerful presence. When it came time for activities, the dynamic Beverly seemed to be everywhere, coaxing all who were able to join in. The administration is to be commended for bringing in entertainment regularly, and concerts for a special treat.<\/p>\n

A special thanks to Lisa in the Business Office and to Frankie for their advice and help. Whenever I signed in at the reception desk, I was greeted with a smile, and a \u201cHello Mr. Dent\u201d by first Linda and then when she left for other duties, Jessica by day, then Pat.<\/p>\n

The rehab personnel, the janitorial staff, the laundry people, the personnel from all the other sections never failed to say hello when we met in the halls and elevator.<\/p>\n

AGAIN, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF MY WIFE MARY AND MYSELF,
\n– George Dent<\/em><\/div>\n
\n

\"\"“What can I say? This team is full of stars. I needed rehab after being sent home from the hospital, and the Admissions Team worked their magic and got me in under my insurance benefit. The nurses and rehab team are superior. I couldn\u2019t ask for more. Plus, they gave me my deck of cards so I can keep being the card shark that I am.”<\/p>\n

– Phillip Angelo<\/em><\/div>\n
\n

\"\"“Everyone at Oakland is great! They are all hardworking individuals who go above and beyond. The room accommodations worked out nicely for me to move around freely. One of the highlights of my stay was that I could enjoy my meals out in the gazebo and enjoy the beautiful weather and surroundings.
\nI will definitely recommend Oakland Rehab!!<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"“It was a wonderful stay, the best part for me was the rehab. They were just wonderful and friendly. If you felt tired they didn\u2019t push you, but they knew how much you could do, and to me that was important. They opened my life to a whole new me. I would recommend Oakland to anybody I know that has to come to rehab. It is a beautiful area and Oakland Rehab is just excellent.”<\/p>\n

\"Anne“What stands out the most, as I remember my three week stay at Oakland Rehabilitation following double knee replacement surgery, is the people. From the very first few difficult days when I depended so much on the caring, thoughtful staff to assist me with the activities of daily life, to the day I walked out knowing I could comfortably return home, I always felt their focus was on me getting well. The Physical and Occupational Therapists were exceptional, and I attribute my speedier-than-normal recovery to their mindful, professional treatment. Every day, I was impressed with how the nurses, aides, food service, maintenance, and support folks always kept things running smoothly. Most notable in my eyes, however, was Maria Alicea, whose genuine, kindhearted assistance made my recovery easier more times than I can remember. I am forever grateful to her, and all those who helped me at Oakland Rehabilitation.”<\/p>\n

\"Anne“No medical facility is fun, but Oakland Rehab was a real pleasure! I have nothing but good things to say, I could not have been in a better place. My Aides Latisha and Zelalem were extremely sweet and overly caring. The Rehab Therapists were wonderful to work with as well. Today is a Happy-Sad day. I\u2019m sad that I\u2019m leaving, but happy I\u2019ve made this progress to continue on to the next level. I\u2019ll miss everyone dearly.”<\/p>\n

\"Nancy“I\u2019ve been to Oakland before and the difference this time around is tremendous. The care here is wonderful. Everybody has a job and they do it on time and without any fuss. I especially like the way therapy is run and appreciate how seamless the sessions are. The food has been tremendous, I have an appetite like a truck driver, so I have a clean plate all the time; I\u2019m sure the chef loves me. The doctor regularly makes his rounds and always stops in, and the aides here exhibit knowledge of their job and do it well.”<\/p>\n

It was a pleasure being here, everyone is so pleasant. They couldn\u2019t do enough for you and they\u2019re so pleasant about everything.

\"\"THE NURSES WERE AMAZING & ALWAYS WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY FOR ME.<\/strong>
\n\u201cI rehabbed at Oakland Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center after being diagnosed with a devastating respiratory illness. My husband and daughter toured the center before my admission and assured me it would be a great choice. I immediately felt comfortable with everyone at Oakland. The entire staff was pleasant. I even had a wonderful nurse aide who I plan on keeping in touch with once I head home. My rehabilitation has been a lot of work but I\u2019m so proud of myself that I\u2019ve done it!<\/p>\n

My therapist Nicole loves her job here and you can tell. Seeing the other patients succeed in the therapy gym was a source of inspiration to me. I watched one of my peers take their first steps \u2013 I will never forget that! What a sight to see.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe all of the hard work I did and all of the gains I\u2019ve made with the help of my respiratory therapist, Parul. I came to Oakland on hi-flow oxygen after being diagnosed with \u201cacute ARDS\u201d and I\u2019m leaving here to go to the airport and head home to Florida. There were times when I never thought that was possible! Thank you, Team Oakland!\u201d<\/p>\n

All of the staff seem happy \u2013 they\u2019re genuinely nice people and treat all their patients with kindness, and at my mom\u2019s age, that\u2019s what she needs. The nurses were all phenomenal. The housekeeping staff was great. I\u2019d 100% return to Oakland if my mom ever needed to rehab again.

\nI toured Oakland Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center before my reconstructive orthopedic surgery and the Admissions Director was able to answer all of my questions (and I had a lot of them!). The facility was extremely clean and every staff member I passed was smiling and courteous. After the amazing tour I decided to pre-book my rehab stay at Oakland and I\u2019m so glad I did! I stayed in a beautiful private suite which had a couch and plenty of peace and quiet. Oakland\u2019s nurses are really compassionate and jumped on any issues or questions I had. The entire Oakland staff is outstanding \u2013 and the food was surprisingly good. If I had to rate the facility between 1 and 10 \u2013 I\u2019d give this place a 15!<\/p>\n

\u201cWE COULDN\u2019T HAVE PICKED A BETTER REHAB!\u201d<\/strong>
\nI had a pretty terrible experience at another rehabilitation facility so my husband was petrified when faced with having to choose a rehab for after his hospitalization. We were blown away from the minute we arrived at Oakland Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center! You could mistake the facility for a hotel and literally eat off of the floors! The entire Oakland staff made us feel like we were a part of their families. The nursing care was phenomenal and the therapy was topnotch. All of Oakland\u2019s staff made us feel warm and welcomed. We have mixed emotions about discharging home because we made such unforgettable relationships at Oakland. Simply put \u2013 we couldn\u2019t have picked a better rehab and are so happy we chose Oakland!<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cOften when you think you\u2019re at the end of something, you\u2019re at the beginning of something else.\u201d \u2013Mr. Rogers<\/em>
\nJune 2017 \u2013 \u201cMiss Triple A Personality\u201d who worked seven days a week and thrived on craziness and instant gratification, had been shut down with a stroke which affected my entire right side.
\nMy beloved manager and dear friend Patti Tahan, who after knee surgery spent weeks in this 5-star rated Oakland Rehabilitation Center, said to me \u201cYou have to go there \u2013 they get it.\u201d I was welcomed by the management team, Josh, Cindy, Co-Co & Chris. The nurses’ station outside my room was manned 24 hours a day by professional and kind nurses, doctors, nurses aides, dieticians and other staff members, and no request or need went unanswered.
\nThe newly launched state-of-the-art rehabilitation facility under the direction of Shanaz Martin, Rehab Director, and Dr. Lyn is unparalleled. The teaching gym also includes a staircase, full bedroom, full bath, full kitchen and a real car parked in the middle of the room to teach entering and exiting a vehicle! It included a kind, wonderful, patient and caring team of physical, occupational therapists and aides (strangers that I had to trust) to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
\nNow three months later, I grow stronger each day as I continue to completely recover. My gratitude and love to all!<\/p>\n

\"\"I have had a very positive 11 days here at Oakland Rehabilitation. I came here to recover from a knee replacement. Throughout my stay, the aides were helpful and pleasant. The in-house physical therapy was helpful and convenient as well. Josh, one of the physical therapists, took the time to explain how each exercise helped my recovery. Lisa, another physical therapist, showed me how to get in and out of my bed without an aide just days after my surgery. Overall, everyone at the center really cares about the patients. Thank you!<\/p>\n

\"clara-dinner\"“My second stay at Oakland Rehab Center reaffirmed my good opinion of the great center this is! After being on the observation unit at Valley Hospital, I didn\u2019t meet criteria for Medicare Coverage. However, thanks to Oakland and their Urgent SNF\u2122 Program I was still able to receive skilled services. My road to recovery was speedy and worthy of high praise. This physical therapy was great and helped me become independent once more. The staff here is helpful and compassionate. I couldn\u2019t have asked for anything more. The surroundings are lovely and the place is kept clean and hygienic. Kudos to all who are associated with Oakland!”<\/p>\n

\"john-vasquez\"“I came to Oakland and I’m highly satisfied with the results. I came almost helpless from a hip injury from Massachusetts, I was put into the hands of the therapists here. One special therapist was Evelina, who worked at all times to get me to use my legs and through her efforts I got to the point where I could leave able to walk with a cane, I am also able to walk up and down stairs. I was amazed how all the therapists worked with the residents\/patients with great devotion, it was great to see them in action. Thanks & love to all.”<\/p>\n

\"linda-clark\"“After being told I was in need of a bilateral hip replacement, my biggest concern was walking again. My surgeon, Dr. Robert Kayal, recommended Oakland Rehabilitation for my post surgical rehabilitation. Before making a final decision I decided to check Oakland out myself. The tour experience convinced me that Oakland was exactly where I needed to rehab and recover. The entire staff was very nurturing and caring, and the Physical Therapy Department exceeded all my expectations. They are an amazing group of people who focused on all of my needs. I was up and running in no time! This was the best decision of my life and I’m so glad I made the right one! Thank you Oakland for giving me my life back!”<\/p>\n
