Reviews
My sister and I toured Oakland Heights Senior Living this week as we begin exploring options for our 88-year-old mother, who has mentioned it might be time to downsize from her house. A neighbor recommended Oakland Heights; her mother had lived there and had a positive experience. We’re looking for a place that lets us live closer to Mom, offers support and care should she need it, and provides a socially rich environment. The staff were engaging and very pleasant. The residents seemed happy and active: we saw an exercise class, people walking outdoors (one with their dog), residents eating at the café, and small groups chatting in the common sitting areas. As we passed by, one resident told us, “Oakland Heights is a nice place to live,” which was lovely to hear. We toured a couple of independent and assisted living apartments, and they were all really nice. Some were newly renovated, and all had lots of natural light and views of the courtyard and gardens that surround the 5-acre gated.

Review for Oakland Heights Senior Living
The staff were patient, understanding of our situation, clear about the services they proved. They provide a large variety of activities, including excursions to the local areas for shopping, movies, etc. The entire property is gated and sits on 1/2 acre (pretty sure that's right) ad consists of independent living cottages and one large building for those needing extra care, which is where our friend was. The main building is a beautiful home, with a small worship area (open room), a dining room, a cafeteria, a library and a gym. Each resident has their own room, studio sized and up. The reception area is lovely and residents come and go as they please. Residents can go on group walks around the grounds, which is like one big garden with trails. And, finally, of the places we toured and called about, this was the most affordable.

Verified(name removed) was great! She showed us the facilities, answered all our questions, and gave us much information. the residents we met were all very friendly, as was the lady at the front desk. The campus is exceptionally well kept, the gated community offers security, and I love it! Looking forward to spending time there. Thank you

VerifiedBeautiful facility on beautiful grounds. The facility is clean, very roomy, with many activities available to the residents. Shannon was exceptional: clear, patient, professional, and welcoming. The studio our friend will live in, while not large, has a window, view, lots of light, and has a private bathroom.

VerifiedHappy Client
A place for Mom really opened up our eyes to other options that were out there. We couldn't be more happy with where our mom ended up. It was a great find at a very reasonable price. We greatly appreciate all the help from a place for Mom. I would recommend your service to other people. Not sure if I have anything to add about Oakland heights outside of so far we're very impressed and we like it

VerifiedI recently toured Oakland Heights Senior Living while exploring memory care options for my mom. Overall, I had a very positive experience. The staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions. One of the highlights for me was the spacious, open patio area dedicated to the memory care residents. It felt secure while still providing a pleasant outdoor space where residents could enjoy fresh air and move around comfortably. The community itself was clean, well-maintained, and offered nice amenities. Overall, I left with a favorable impression and would definitely consider it for a loved one.

Friendly staff, pretty surroundings. The studio was very comfortable and sunny. Cleaning and laundry are done once a week, but it took a while to get on a regular schedule, and was not always done because they were short staffed. The food was good and service was fine.

VerifiedThe facility has a very homey feel, warm, comforting. The receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. I liked that we saw both assisted living accommodations and independent living arrangements as well. My husband, daughter and I will need to visit other facilities as well and make comparisons. The tour was very thorough and we saw the whole facility.

They have all been very friendly. My one complaint is that when I tried to call at around 11pm to have someone check on my dad no one answered and it is supposed to be 24 hours.

VerifiedOur Family's experience
Cozy lovely old complex with flowering gardens. Gated community Staff are friendly and responsive but busy. Food is good. It's more rustic than the high rise places, If you prefer the hotel ambiance this might not be what you want. This is relaxed, more homey with colorful pictures and decor. The buildings are Calif stucco with red tile roofs - charming.

VerifiedBeautiful 100 year old building located behind iron gates in the Oakland hills. Secure memory care unit where residents are allowed to roam freely and participate in activities or not. Private rooms but shared bathroom. Very clean space. Food smelled good! Price is very competitive! Lovely tour provided of facility. Sales associate (name removed) is very compassionate and easy to talk to.

The food is awful. Setting up payment schemes when the loved one has long-term care can be challenging.
