I wish there was a ZERO for this place. I'm a discharge planner for a local hospital. I was trying to discharge a resident back to her home on Easter Sunday. Not only could I not find anyone to answer a phone, when I finally got the on call person, they said they would call back and never did! COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL!!

MOMS REVIEW LIFE SPIRE:It's taken me a VERY LONG time to put this review in...On the outside this seemed like a well equipped place to put mom who was suffering dementia. I wanna first start with staff, there were good people who really cared for their patience, but upper management seemed to limit them. Hostile work environment and high turn over. Then the problems began...mom was aggressive from the disease and some staff understood and some just had no patience for it. I'm gonna just put facts in this review and limit my emotions into it. Mom had several falls here, now I know some will say that's what happens..however it was so excessive that the State was investigating instances and my mom was one their cases...she had fallen, broke 4 ribs and was hospitalized several times and some of the staff did not acknowledge her pain it was a family member who did. We had SEVERAL discussions about the lack of cleanliness in her room...and how staff was instructed to not speak to family about what happens within the building...leaving mom on the floor for hours, and not until a angel of a staff member took upon herself to rectify the situation..and then was in trouble for telling me. Management disputes the fall...needless to say we began the process of removing mom from LifeSpire, Oakland and on that day discovered mom was again in pain...we had her removed by ambulance to hospital and discovered the reason for her pain was a medication given to her by in house doctor that DID NOT NOTIFY FAMILY, PRIMARY DOCTOR that it was being given and was shutting down her kidneys...We NEVER WENT BACK and found another placement for her...but by that time she had digressed to being able to speak, walk and being a semi-functional person to non verbal, 2 person hold patient. She passed October 8, 2018. This establishment does not put family first and keeps information from the family when an open door policy is what you want from the place you are sending your loved one. That CLEARLY DID NOT HAPPEN in moms case!! Be very aware and cautious!!!

My mother spent her last year and a half at Life Spire. The staff was very loving and caring with my mom. They loved her and she loved them. The food was good and accommodating to people's tastes. They had activities such as chair yoga on Wednesday and Water coloring every other week or so. My mom was happy there. I will say that sometimes I thought they were a little short staffed, but all in all we were very happy with this facility. When my mom passed, many of the staff cried with us and some even came to her funeral. Thank you Life Spire.
