This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 37% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
OAK KNOLL SKILLED NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER receives polarized feedback, with recent reviews highlighting a clean, odor-free environment and long-tenured, caring staff. However, older reviews raise serious concerns regarding administrative responsiveness, hygiene standards, and allegations of theft and poor communication during health crises.

Key Review Excerpts
“My sister has been living here for 5 years and they really do a great job the staff really do care and take good care of the residents. Most of the staff have been working here for a long time which I think speaks volumes.”
“The administrator was unconcerned, rude and disrespectful. They had staff stealing from residents and did nothing about it.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
