Emeryville, CA, is a northern suburb of the larger Bay Area city of Oakland, where 11,700 people live just south of Berkeley. About 13 percent of Emeryville's residents are seniors aged 65 and over, many of them living with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Seniors with dementia, whose conditions require full-time care from trained staff, have 23 memory care facilities within Emeryville, with many more in the surrounding communities. Memory care, skilled nursing and assisted living properties are all regulated as long-term residential care facilities in the state of California, and all are licensed through the California Department of Social Services Adult Care Licensing Program.
