Belmar Oakland

In general it is a fairly good community and I am pleased. The staff communication is fairly well. The residents receive 3 meals a day, they have a general set menu for residents to choose. The community offers activities for the residents like live music.

The staff treat the clients like family. They are very open and communicative with the family and that really helps. They have a lot of good activities, my loved ones does a lot of painting and arts and crafts that she likes to participate in these activities.

We chose Belmar Oakland because I was hard pressed to find a place quickly and they had availability when we needed it. Overall, we have had a good experience so far and would recommend.

Best senior living community around! Very friend staff, happy residents, lots to do in the community. I would highly recommend Belmar Oakland to any of my family of friends..... they go above and beyond.

The community was fine for my loved one and the family.

I would want others to know that this is an unethical and corrupt facility. The director here was horrendous. They kept telling me how bad my dad was, but talking to my dad on the phone and running tests on him, he seemed to be doing very well. The staff members were lying and telling me to sever ties with him and that this would be his life in here. He is now living independently and just bought a house, so he is doing great.

Do not put a loved one in this facility that can not speak up and/or take care of themselves. Our experience with Belmar started off well then went quickly downhill. We found out after signing paperwork, this facility is not staffed to take care of Hospice or terminally ill residents. I visited my brother (who had stage 4 lung and brain cancer) after I received a call from a concerned nurse. When I got to Belmar, I found him on the floor of his room badly bruised. Bruises and scrapes all over his face, head and hands. The room was filthy and dirty dishes were everywhere. There were only 3 caretakers staffed in the facility that weekend and the local authorities were returning a resident that had wandered 2 miles down the road. This is all true. Find me on face book and I'll share our experience. Keep in mind this is facility is cooperate owned. I suspect some reviews are fake. We filed reports and moved him as quickly as possible out of Belmar. Do your research. I recommend calling hospice care centers for the best housing recommendations.

A Place for Mom was wonderful to work with. Very caring and great at following up! The home we chose, Belmar Oakland Troy has had a couple "surprises" we weren't expecting financially. There is a $2500 "move in" fee that has to be paid along with the first month's rent. The second, was when we discovered they don't supply incontinence needs (briefs/pad/wipes etc). This new world of Covid makes it very difficult to handle the "day to day" stuff (visits especially), being able to see Staff "face to face" (or our loved one). It's difficult to establish any "trust" with the facility and staff members which doesn't help any of us. At first they were very easy to get a hold of to answer our many, many questions & address our concerns about the care our loved one is getting. Then it changed after about 6 weeks. We're happy we moved him from where he was...just not completely confident that we moved him to the right place/fit for him. DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE BREAKDOWN OF THE STAR RATING - WE'VE NEVER BEEN INSIDE - AND HE'S ONLY BEEN A RESIDENT DURING COVID

Even though Govenor Whitmer eased restrictions on visits to nursing homes weeks ago Belmar is not allowing anyone to visit with their family members that are there. I was told that they do not have staff to allow visits. Seriously, you pay thousands of dollars for care and can not see them. They also stopped all activities for the residents. This was the only thing many had to look forward to. You can still social distance. It appears Belmar is taking advantage during this virus. Who knows what goes on at the facility since family is not allowed in. I have spoke to some of the staff and they say things are really bad there.

I would recommend them. I was very involved. I believe that you need to be involved to make sure they know you and your expectations. The food was good. Room sizes and layout of the community were good. He had a good location, his room was close to everything.

Belmar of Oakland my mother's been there for some time now excellent excellent service very caring good meals activities what else can you ask for

I can't thank Belmar Oakland enough for every thing that they have done for my family and my dad. I think dad is the happiest he has ever been now that he is at Belmar Oakland getting all the care he truly needs around the clock.
