Excell Health Care Center

Excell Health Care Center is a skilled nursing facility located at 3025 High Street in Oakland, California, nestled in the Laurel District — one of the East Bay's most beloved neighborhood commercial corridors. Owned and operated by David and Frank Johnson, Excell reflects a family-oriented ownership approach where individual accountability and personal involvement in care quality remain central to the facility's culture. Family-owned skilled nursing facilities often provide a more personalized level of attention, with owners who maintain close relationships with both staff and residents. The High Street location is a defining advantage for Excell. The Laurel District, which stretches along MacArthur Boulevard near the High Street intersection, is celebrated for its walkable, small-business-driven character — featuring independent restaurants, coffee shops, wine bars, and neighborhood markets that give visiting family members a genuinely pleasant environment to spend time before or after visits. Spots like the Laurel district's local bakeries and family-owned eateries contribute to an unhurried, community-centered atmosphere. Dimond Park is one of the nearest major parks to the facility, providing a well-maintained green space along Fruitvale Avenue with picnic areas, tennis courts, and walking paths that can serve as a destination for residents on short supervised outings. The park reflects the kind of accessible outdoor space that families and residents appreciate having close to a skilled nursing facility. For hospital access, Highland Hospital on East 31st Street serves as the primary acute care resource for East Oakland residents, while the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center campus in Oakland provides additional hospital-level care options. Excell's High Street address also benefits from strong AC Transit bus connections, supporting family members who rely on public transportation. Excell Health Care Center's skilled nursing team delivers 24-hour clinical care, post-acute rehabilitation, and long-term nursing support, creating individualized care environments for every resident.
