Overview of Bellaken Garden

Belinda Leung serves as the administrator for Bellaken Garden, an established 58-bed nursing home run by Bellaken Health Group, Inc., on 26th Avenue in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood. The building has been open for 26 years and is full. Resident stays average 325 days, showing that the daily operation handles a mix of permanent long-term care and temporary rehab for people transitioning back home after a hospital stay. To clear care bills, the front office accepts private funds, Medicare, and Medicaid.

The facility sits in a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with a walk score of 95 out of 100, so visiting relatives can run quick errands on foot or take local public transit. Inside the building, residents receive an average of 3 hours and 58 minutes of hands-on attention every day. This direct care is split among a 24-hour team of registered nurses, practical nurses, and assistants who focus on short-term physical therapy and structured restorative care programs.

Government health inspectors keep tabs on the property through routine compliance audits to make sure clinical staffing and building safety stay up to code.

Prospective residents can call the main office to see how the waiting list works for incoming patients, ask about the admissions process, or coordinate a good afternoon to walk through the therapy areas.

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Nurse Aide is +5% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	35m per day	▼ 9% State avg: 39m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	43m per day	▼ 41% State avg: 1h 13m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 47m per day	▲ 5% State avg: 2h 39m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 43m per day	▼ 9% State avg: 4h 5m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	5m per day	■ Avg State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	12m per day	▼ 60% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 29m per day
