As part of Elder Care Alliance, Mercy Retirement & Care Center is dedicated to the mission and philosophy of our sponsors.
Mission:
Elder Care Alliance is a nonprofit organization committed to serving and enriching
the physical and emotional well-being of older adults through a network
of professional, faith-centered care communities and services.
Philosophy:
Committed to the spiritual traditions of its sponsors, at Elder Care Alliance
we believe in:
- Respecting and celebrating the dignity and inherent worth of each person
- Providing care for the elderly regardless of cultural background, religious orientation, or economic means
- Maintaining excellent service through teams of dedicated sponsors, board members, staff, and volunteers
- Furthering our mission by the careful stewardship of resources
- Collaborating with organizations that share our values to better benefit each community we serve.
Promoting the highest quality of life through exceptional care and services is our top priority. Our trained and committed caregivers work with healthcare professionals to create a personal care plan for each resident. Our goal is to provide residents with high quality care and service in positive environments so that they can maintain as independent a lifestyle as possible. Individuals and couples alike find companionship, fellowship, and friendship by joining other residents in a wide range of activities, social events, and spiritual retreats.
| Our approach reflects a tradition of service and dedication that goes all the way back to the creation of the Sisters of Mercy in Dublin, Ireland. By 1872, the Sisters of Mercy were well established in San Francisco, caring for the needs of the homeless and providing geriatric care at St. Mary's Hospital. The facility moved to the East Bay after the 1906 earthquake caused major damage at the San Francisco site. Today, Mercy Retirement & Care Center is thriving and continues the mission of its founders. |

The Mercy staff members feel that Mercy is more than a building--it is a community. Each member of our staff is fully committed to providing thoughtful, personalized care and service. We celebrate the individuality of each person. We honor the inherent worth of each person. In all we do, we strive for excellence. This is demonstrated in the daily interaction among residents, family members and staff. It is common to see a resident visiting with a caregiver on the way to Mass, a waiter enjoying a smile when he brings a resident an extra big piece of his favorite dessert, or a housekeeper taking the time to help a resident hang a photo of the grandchildren. Mercy truly is a community.
Mercy Retirement & Care Center is part of Elder Care Alliance, which also includes Salem Lutheran Home, in Oakland, California, AlmaVia of Camarillo, AlmaVia of San Francisco, AlmaVia of Union City, and AlmaVia of San Rafael at Faith Center
