Services at AgeSong Lake Merritt

A Holistic and Integrative Approach to Living

We all benefit from being engaged in the world. AgeSong at Lake Merritt integrates our inner community with our outer surroundings and supports lifelong learning and development of the mind, body, and spirit. By integrating our inner community with our outer surroundings, and by offering residents encouragement, support, and opportunities for growth, AgeSong at Lake Merritt’s community programs counter loneliness and isolation, and encourage learning and community involvement.

Three elements define our approach to creating
caring elder communities:

Learning Campus. Regardless of age, we all have the capacity to learn and benefit from new experiences. AgeSong at Lake Merritt offers a variety of educational, cultural, and social programs, in addition to a fitness room, library, computer stations, conference room, and generous community spaces. We provide additional programs through our AgeSong Academy, including workshops and guest lecturers, scholars, and community members interested in sharing social, political, and historical views and perspectives. We encourage residents, their families, staff, and members of the community to participate.

A Vibrant Environment. AgeSong at Lake Merritt is a beautiful Mediterranean Art Deco residential community located right on Lake Merritt, the crown jewel of downtown Oakland. Here, you’re at the heart of the city — close to all of the activities the lake has to offer, including walking and bike paths, public gardens, the nation’s first bird sanctuary, numerous events, sailing — even gondola rides. AgeSong at Lake Merritt’s location in Oakland’s “Gold Coast” district places you at the center of city life, including museums, shopping, dining, bookstores, art galleries, and the library — with convenient access to the entire Bay Area via BART, buses, and freeways.

Integrative Care. At AgeSong at Lake Merritt, we are continually adapting to residents’ newfound needs. Our care coordination accommodates challenges with activities of daily living, allowing residents to feel secure — regardless of any future needs that might arise.
