What this means for your family
While Oakview has a strong reputation for rehabilitation services and helpful administrative staff, the recent reports of staff rudeness and facility odors are significant red flags. We strongly recommend visiting during a weekend or evening to observe staff-resident interactions firsthand and verify the facility's cleanliness for yourself.

Key Review Excerpts
“Being greeted by the administrator upon entering the building for the first time. Pt and Ot helping mom out of the car. Even the maintenance director offering to help move items into mom's beautiful room.”
“We had a family member in the rehab portion of OakView. The nursing, PT, OT other staff were excellent. The place is clean, up to date, and meals were good.”
“If I were you, go ahead and put your loved one in a different home! My experience when I first came in.. a bigger boned cna was walking with a resident and when the resident asked to sit, the cna was rude and rolling her eyes.”
