Fruitvale Healthcare Center sits at 3020 E 15th St in Oakland and serves as a nursing home with a focus on health care services for different needs, whether long-term or short-term. The center works under licensing from California Health and Human Services but isn't BBB accredited. You'll find that staff provide 24/7 skilled nursing care and support for residents who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or eating, and they offer restorative nursing and rehabilitation, such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy, which you know comes in handy for folks recovering from illness or injury. Fruitvale Healthcare Center sees to residents' social, emotional, and spiritual needs too, with social services and activities made to fit different interests and keep people engaged, plus there's a registered dietitian who prepares nutritious meals by doctor's direction, which helps many stay healthy.
The center uses a flexible staffing system that lets their nurses and nursing assistants pick shifts, which makes sure there are always enough staff for the various care programs across ER, ICU, med-surg, and long-term units-so there's also care for those with urgent or specialized medical needs. Families and residents find the staff professional, attentive, and kind, and many notice the improvements made to both the care and the facility itself. There's a dedicated COVID unit, and on-site diagnostic testing adds peace of mind. With supportive resources for caregivers and educational material, the place tries to keep everyone involved and informed. The staff include RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, supported by practitioners in medicine, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and dental care, so a wide array of needs get met throughout the day and night. Mental health and pain management services, psychological support, wound care, IV and enteral therapies, plus preventive and primary care, all fit into what's offered here, and you find a focus on comfort, family-like respect, and quality of life. The center sticks to official guidelines, especially for visits, to keep residents safe. Fruitvale Healthcare Center sees its role as serving the Oakland community with care choices and services meant to help people live as well as they can, but reviews average about 2.5 out of 5, so there's room to check and see what works best for each person.
