Overview of Mercy Retirement and Care Center

In Oakland, CA, Mercy Retirement and Care Center is a nursing home that also runs skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care. Its 160 beds are in the Saint Elizabeth neighborhood.

Licensed nursing never goes off duty in the nursing home and skilled nursing. Assisted living residents get help with baths, dressing, and medication, and memory care keeps residents at risk of wandering supervised in secured surroundings. With those levels together, needs can change over the years while the resident stays in one community.

At 92, Walk Score calls the area a walker’s paradise, so everyday errands need no car. Without driving, a resident can still get out independently.

Medicare pays for brief skilled care after hospitalization, but not long-term living. Medicaid is there once savings run thin during a lengthy stay, and paying privately is also accepted.

Daily nursing for each resident totals 4 hours and 59 minutes. Kathleen McCarron heads the center as its administrator, and Mercy Ret & Care Ctr and Elder Care Alliance operates it.
