Merrill Gardens at Rockridge offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Oakland, CA. Independent living means private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment.
Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering. The community has 150 beds and is administered by Niare Dawn Feaster. A resident whose needs grow over time may find the range of care levels useful, since moving to a different level of care can happen within the same community. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in. A Walk Score of 96 places the area in the walker’s paradise band, meaning daily errands do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives can still complete them independently.
