About us
Center for Elders’ Independence PACE offers comprehensive community-based medical and social care all in one bundle. We serve East Bay seniors who are over 55 years of age and who who need nursing home care - but we keep them living at home! CEI personal care teams coordinate and integrate whatever care a senior participant needs - home care, activities, transportation or medical care - everything from a hospital stay to an Oakland A's Game with other participants. Though CEI does not provide housing, we coordinate with senior housing, residential care facilities, hospitals and the family caregivers through any circumstances. Services offered: • Primary Care/Nursing Care • Hospital Services • Emergency Services • Nutrition and Hot Meals • Social Services • Home Health Care • Recreational & Social Activities • PACE Day Center • Medications • Transportation • Medical Specialists (cardiologists, podiatrists, etc.) • Rehabilitation Therapies • Dental Care PACE is associated with lower nursing home visits and admissions, fewer hospitalizations, a higher probability of receiving ambulatory care, greater survival, and increased number of days in the community, better health, better quality of life and better functional status.

This October, we proudly celebrate Filipino American History Month at the Center for Elders' Independence! It's a time to honor the rich heritage and contributions of Filipino-Americans. Since the 1960s, Filipinos have made a significant impact as nurses and healthcare workers. Today, it’s no surprise that many members of our CEI team are Filipino, reflecting the diversity of the communities we serve. Filipinos are represented in nearly every department, contributing to the strength of our team. This month, we celebrate the Filipino value of "Kapwa"—which goes beyond the idea of community. Kapwa represents the integration of self and community as one, reminding us of our shared connection. It emphasizes compassion and empathy, values we see reflected in the work we do every day. Let’s learn from this beautiful concept and continue building stronger, more inclusive communities!

Center for Elders' Independence hosted a successful Voters Education event, in cooperation with the League of Women Voters at the Downtown Oakland Center yesterday. Anna Mathai from LWV led an engaging session with the seniors to help them understand the voting process and State ballot measures up for vote. Transportation was provided to the participants from other centers, and translations services were available for non-English speakers - making the event accessible for all. With Californians aged 55+ making up 50% of likely voters, CEI is dedicated to equipping seniors with the tools they need to make their voices heard this upcoming election!

Huge shoutouts to the community leaders, government officials, influencers, sponsors and CEI team members who came out to support the 2nd Annual Tri-Valley Texas Hold'em Tournament over the weekend.

This will directly contribute to promoting health equity for seniors and ensuring they remain active, healthy and empowered in their communities, while living independently at home. [In photos] Special mention goes out to: CEO and President Maria E. Zamora, MBA, Contra Costa County Supervisor Ken Carlson, Councilwoman Marisol R. Rubio and Falck for sponsoring the sweet giveaways for the evening. The Tri-Valley Texas Hold'em was also sponsored by Skyline Construction, Raymond Fox & Associates and Falck.

#NationalCentenarianDay was celebrated last Sept 22, and we had the privilege of speaking to Connie Myers, who is 100 years old! Her story of working as a real life "Rosie Riveter" - part of the league of women who joined the workforce through WW2 is truly inspiring. We are honored to have her as a participant at the Berkeley center. #Lifeat100 #CentenarianCelebration #InspiringStories #NeverTooOld #CEICommunity
