Piedmont Gardens

Piedmont Gardens is a nonprofit Life Plan Community in Oakland, part of the HumanGood network of senior communities. It offers independent living apartments, assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing and short-stay rehabilitation, so residents can move between levels of care on one campus if their needs change.

Residents have a weekly concert series, lectures, art classes, exercise classes like tai chi and yoga, and a resident-run GEAR small-group program. The community sits on Piedmont Avenue, a short walk from restaurants, cafes, bookstores and a cinema, and close to UC Berkeley. Prospective residents can take an online quiz to see which living option might fit, and sales questions can go to the sales office.
