Wesley Clutchett was released from prison at age 75. Having no place to live and no income, he moved from one temporary situation to another. Then he was connected to Oak Days, a former motel that was repurposed to house medically frail people and families in Alameda County.
“This place saved my life,” he said.
He means it literally. Not only did Oak Days put a roof over his head and provide a bed to sleep in, but as a requirement of admission he was sent for a medical workup. Doctors diagnosed him with advanced esophageal cancer. Thirty-three radiation treatments and six chemo sessions later, he’s lost more than 70 pounds and now weighs just 136 pounds. But he’s alive.
