Denise Hood

The staff at Baldwin House Oakland are very experienced in making seniors lives better. A great place for our family member to enjoy her independence in a safe environment.

My mother and uncle have really enjoyed Baldwin House. It has been a perfect place with great care and staff. Sherry is such a bright light keeping the residents engaged. Evelyn is lovely and helpful. Since my mother was wheel chair bound, the ACE caregivers (Theresa, Anita, and many more) gave her great care, attentive and caring. My mother and uncle are happy with the quality of food, the apartments, happy hours, and fun activities. Thank you so much for everything that you have done for my mother and continue to do for the residents of Baldwin House!

My parents lived at American House Oakland for eight years from 2012-2020. My mother for the first four years and my father for the entire eight years. They loved everything about American House Oakland: their apartment, the staff, the meals and the social interaction with new friends. They had their ups and downs emotionally like everyone does especially those in a more restrictive setting like a senior living community. But, overall, their lives were greatly enriched during their final years of life by living at American House Oakland. My family and I spent a lot of time at American House Oakland with my parents and for various family events. We, too, thought American House Oakland was an excellent environment for my parents during their final years of life (both lived over 90 years). We can highly recommend American House Oakland to anyone looking for a new residence for their loved ones.

I realize that it's just a competition between the communities, of the American houses, its really not about the need or affordability of the residents or the actual care, its about the Money. It's the same as the Nursing homes when I was in that position. Not to mention the community fee, that can be either waived or reduced pending on how bad they want that room/apartment filled by you or your love one. And that depends on the area! Demographic area, basically just like the car insurance companies, you know how they red line you, depending on you zip code or city you live in. Some offer tax credit apartments, but there's a waiting list, si they claim so you're have to pay Market Price first( a higher price that most cannot afford if they need a tax credit apartment. ( low income) Their corporate office in Southfield is horrible no one's returns any of your calls, you can leave voicemail messages. (go figure) Care is provided by unlicensed third party company that rents space inside the building. None are licensed to care for your love one. Not to mention the cost for them to provide what care is needed by the residents is ridiculous costly. Let me sum it up, its all just a racket......like most of these places for our elderly are . It's all about the money! Most of the administrators running the building have no people skills. Its all about the money, Then there's the admissions/marketers they're tell you anything to get you there fill you with alot of fake promises.
