Our read on Oakland Heights

Oakland Heights is city-owned, which is unusual, and it runs on 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average. Weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 46.8%, essentially the national rate, meaning you'll likely see new faces over a long stay. The inspection record is the strong part: three deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in June 2025. Quality measures are where it lags, scoring 2 of 5 stars, worth asking what specifically is dragging that down before you decide.
