Review

Oak Creek is a senior living community that offers care for individuals with Alzheimer's and dementia. Visitors noted that the tour guide was knowledgeable and provided them with helpful information about the facility. Although they didn't find anything outstanding about Oak Creek, they mentioned that it was clean and well-maintained, and the residents appeared to be well-cared for.

During their visit, the reviewers observed a small group of residents engaged in an activity, including some individuals in wheelchairs. They acknowledged that each person's journey with Alzheimer's is unique and praised the staff for accommodating residents at different levels of cognitive decline. The community has a capacity of 24 residents, mostly in shared rooms. While the accommodations were considered satisfactory, nothing particularly stood out to the reviewers.

One positive aspect mentioned was the nice small outdoor area available to residents. The staff received praise for their friendliness and willingness to help with any inquiries made by visitors. However, one reviewer expressed that their mother did not like the feel or environment of Oak Creek compared to other places they had visited personally. They described it as an older building and mentioned concerns about it feeling too closed-in.

The cost of this community was mentioned as higher than other options in the area. Despite this, one reviewer stated having had a friend who enjoyed their experience at Oak Creek. They also praised the staff for being nice and doing a great job while emphasizing that residents receive plenty of attention. Additionally, these reviewers commended Oak Creek's effective plan to battle COVID-19.

Another review expressed gratitude towards the caregivers working at Oak Creek for taking care of their loved one named Conchita affectionately referred to as "a little shell." The reviewer thanked each member of staff individually for their excellent care.

In another personal account shared on the website, an individual named Erin described her grandmother's stay at Oak Creek due to Alzheimer's disease. Erin highlighted how caring and respectful the caregivers were but specifically mentioned one caregiver, Ashley, as the standout. Ashley's genuine care for residents, including Erin's grandmother, left a lasting impression. Erin recommended Oak Creek as a suitable home for family members in need of memory care.

One reviewer had a somewhat mixed experience during their visit to Oak Creek. They commended the friendly and attentive staff and praised the cleanliness of the facilities. However, they noted an overall sense of sadness due to the nature of Alzheimer's and dementia among the residents. They expressed discomfort with being around individuals who serve as reminders of mortality and questioned the focus of care facilities on visitations rather than the residents themselves.

The final review discussed a client's experience at Oak Creek who had Alzheimer's. The individual experienced significant memory loss, even forgetting his relatives' names. However, his symptoms seemed to improve after being placed on a green veggie diet by Oak Creek. The reviewer also mentioned that the clean air from the San Francisco Bay area in Castro Valley appeared to positively impact their client's well-being.

In conclusion, Oak Creek received generally positive reviews regarding its knowledgeable tour guide, cleanliness, attentive staff, and effective care plans for Alzheimer's residents. However, some reviewers expressed reservations about the environment or personal discomfort surrounding Alzheimer's patients or mortality reminders. Overall, Oak Creek seems to provide caring and respectful services for individuals with Alzheimer's and dementia in the Hayward/San Francisco/Castro Valley region.
