What this means for your family
While Oakhill Healthcare has a dedicated therapy team that has helped some residents return to independent living, the facility has persistent reports of hygiene issues and neglect. Families should conduct an unannounced visit to inspect room cleanliness and observe staff responsiveness before committing, and specifically ask about the availability of safety equipment like bed rails for rehab patients.

“The staff especially PT and OT were outstanding and made the difference between my mom being bed ridden for the rest of her life and once again being able to walk.”
“My Mother is on the C Unit and all of the staff on that unit are phenomenal. She just got back to Oakhill after having a difficult 9 months and she was so excited to see Wendy & De”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has concerning patterns with families filing complaints about failure to notify them of resident injuries or health changes, which occurred multiple times. The most recurring issues involve care planning and assessment problems, medication management deficiencies, and resident rights violations. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated problems with family communication and the persistence of care planning issues across multiple surveys suggest ongoing operational challenges that warrant careful consideration during your visit.
