What do you consider when deciding to live in a senior community? Is it the environment, cost and services/people in the community of assisted living, nursing home, memory care, care home, and caregiving service.
We believe in connecting with the larger East Bay and bay area community by supporting local causes, learning about the culture and needs of our neighborhood and supporting local merchants.
We should connect with other service oriented groups serving seniors within our community such as Emeryville Center for the Arts, The Bread Project, the Emeryville Chamber of Commerce and the Alzheimer’s Services of the East Bay.
