We all want to be purposeful. Stay connected to family and friends. Continue to learn and grow.
We’re here to help you make that happen.
We’re HumanGood, the nonprofit owner of two of Oakland’s most established and vibrant senior living communities.
Piedmont Gardens is an Oakland senior living community with a one-of-a-kind location just off the eclectic Piedmont Avenue, with its shops, cafes, restaurants and more. Our accomplished, active residents reflect the diversity of the Bay Area and are artists, musicians, professors and business leaders.
Our Life Plan Community (also known as a continuing care retirement community or CCRC) also has a fresh new look, from our newly redesigned lobby and reception area to our updated art studio and recreation room. At our unique, urban community, you can live your life with freedom and independence—just as you always have—with the peace of mind that comes with knowing a solid plan is in place should the need for future assistance arise.
Piedmont Gardens offers beautifully designed, maintenance-free apartment homes with a variety of floor plans and entrance fees to suit many budgets. Learn more about pricing today.
“As an author and musician, I appreciate the fact that my neighbors here have so many rich experiences to share—especially experiences related to music, art and literature. There are a lot of reasons to choose Piedmont Gardens—the amenities, the future security, the proximity to The Avenue. But the people are the most outstanding aspect of living here. They massage the soul!”

Grand Lake Gardens is a senior living community with a boutique feel just steps away from all of the cultural amenities of Oakland’s rejuvenated Lake Merritt District. Our urban setting is met with an unexpected twist—extensive interior gardens, featuring a Zen garden and community vegetable garden.
We offer apartment homes with a flexible dining plan, wellness programs and other amenities on a rental basis, with no long-term lease or entrance fee.
“I only see beautiful at Grand Lake Gardens, the view of the Zen Garden from my balcony is wonderful! It was the people that first attracted me to Grand Lake Gardens. The residents are welcoming, they make you feel at home immediately. And the staff is so kind.”

Beautifully designed, maintenance-free apartment homes are just steps away from the energy, opportunity and services of our vibrant community.
Help with tasks of daily living, as needed, allows you to continue to enjoy your independence and our life-enriching services and amenities.
Highly rated long-term skilled nursing care and short-term rehab therapies are available, if ever needed, on site in a welcoming, homelike environment from well-trained, friendly professionals.
Our innovative care program takes a highly personalized approach to help residents with Alzheimer's or other dementias live positive, enriched lives.
