Overview of Dimond Care

Dimond Care is a 6-bed assisted living community in Oakland, California, operated by Dimond Care under administrator John F. Blain. Licensed in Alameda County as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly since 2011, the small residential-scale home has operated for 20 years in Oakland’s Foothill neighborhood, with 15 full-time staff members serving a maximum of six residents.

The community’s care services extend beyond standard assisted living to include Alzheimer’s and dementia care, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis care, diabetes management, and podiatric care. Three home-cooked meals are prepared daily with attention to individual dietary needs and special diets.

Inspected under California’s assisted living residence standards, Dimond Care has recorded zero citations across four official inspections since 2022, earning a score of 90 out of 100 against a California benchmark of 76. The only findings in the most recent inspection were two minor deficiencies, a screen repair and a complaint poster size, with no enforcement actions or harm-level citations in the record through December 2025.
Programming includes weekly art workshops, cooking classes, music sessions, and vegetable garden tending alongside recurring social activities.

Dimond Care suits older adults in Alameda County seeking small-scale, home-style assisted living with specialized clinical care in Oakland.
