City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Visits or investigations linked to complaints, as counted in the state record (may differ from routine annual surveys).
Count of California state "Type A" citations — the state's most serious citation category (immediate or serious harm to residents), from California state inspection data.
Number of years the company has been in operation.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.

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 42 minutes. Kathleen McCarron heads the center as its administrator, and Mercy Ret & Care Ctr and Elder Care Alliance operates it.

Starting Price $5,720/Month
