Alameda Hospital

The City of Alameda Health Care District announces that Alameda Hospital will be expanding its current capacity to provide skilled nursing care to the community. Alameda Hospital owns the building adjacent to its parking lot (625 Willow Street), and since 1981, has leased the building to independent operators, who currently run the South Shore Convalescent – more... Hospital. Alameda Hospital has valued and enjoyed its long relationship with the convalescent hospital, but as part of its strategic direction to enhance the continuum of care and services provided, especially to seniors, Alameda Hospital gave notice in February 2008 that it would assume direct responsibility for operation of the convalescent hospital effective approximately August 17, 2008. As the largest health care provider or services to senior on the island and Alameda's aging population, refining this continuum of care is essential to meeting the changing need of the community.

Alameda Hospital plans to maintain the long tradition of high quality care provided to the residents of South Shore. It is the Hospital's intent to use its resources to improve the overall resident experience by enhancing the facility and scope of services available. Current employees of South Shore have provided quality care for many years and have the opportunity to continue to do so. Due to the Hospital's status as a District Hospital, and in accordance with hospital policy, Alameda Hospital has a defined process of posting all available positions. Available positions have been posted and current employees of South Shore were urged to apply for employment as an employee of Alameda Hospital. Alameda Hospital looks forward to working with many of the health care providers who have cared for South Shore patients over the years. It is also the Hospital's plan to maintain and, in many cases, improve the wages and benefits South Shore employees currently enjoy.

Special meetings were held for South Shore employees, residents and their families with hospital management to discuss this transition and to answer questions that they had.

In addition to it's full range of acute care services, Alameda Hospital currently offers a unique 35-bed subacute inpatient program for seriously ill patients who require, often long term, specialized services. Many residents are ventilator dependent. The care is generally more intensive than skilled nursing care and less than acute hospital care and is one of only a handful of subacute care programs in the East bay. An increase in skilled nursing capabilities will provide our patients with greater access to specialized care.

Alameda Hospital is excited about this opportunity and is committed to the continuation of providing high quality and compassionate care to the community. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
