Center for Elders Independence - PACE East Oakland

History

It all started in 1982 when Center for Elders' Independence welcomed vulnerable seniors to Alameda Country's first Adult Day Health Care Center within Oakland's Highland General Hospital. Now in 2022, we celebrate our 40th year serving older adults in the San Francisco East Bay. Throughout the years, CEI made a difference for over 5,000 seniors plus countless family members, caregivers and staff. We've grown from a small section of a large hospital to five full-service PACE centers, one ADHC, close to 400 people on staff and a fleet of nearly 50 vans and buses providing medical, social and physical care to near 1,100 seniors today.
