Why we like it

Mercy Retirement & Care Center is a 160-bed assisted living community in Oakland, operated as a Catholic nonprofit with over 27 years of continuous licensing. It combines faith-based mission with a long operational track record and an excellent safety record — a combination that's hard to find.

  • Excellent safety record

    FYI Safety Score of 9.4 out of 9.9 — among the best in the East Bay. Reflects consistently clean inspections over many years.

  • Catholic nonprofit mission

    Faith-based nonprofit operation means resident care is the mission, not a profit center. This often translates to better staffing ratios and more investment in resident services.

  • 27+ years licensed

    Decades of continuous operation is a strong signal of stability. Communities that have lasted this long have weathered industry changes and maintained standards.

  • Oakland accessibility

    Located in Oakland with access to BART and major freeways, making it convenient for families across the Bay Area to visit regularly.

  • Premium pricing

    Positioned at the higher end of the East Bay market. The combination of nonprofit mission, safety record, and longevity commands a premium that may not fit every family's budget.
