Elmwood Care Center

Elmwood Care Center brings professional skilled nursing services to one of Berkeley's most beloved residential neighborhoods. Located at 2829 Shattuck Avenue, the facility sits within the charming Elmwood District — a community celebrated for its tree-lined streets, locally owned businesses, and the kind of unhurried, neighborly atmosphere that contributes meaningfully to the healing and comfort of residents and their families. The immediate surroundings offer an exceptional quality of life for those visiting loved ones. College Avenue's vibrant stretch of independent restaurants, coffee shops, and specialty retailers is steps away, giving family members a welcoming environment to unwind before or after visits. The historic Elmwood Theatre on College Avenue adds a touch of cultural nostalgia to the neighborhood. A short distance down Shattuck Avenue leads to the Ashby BART station and the broader Ashby corridor, where Alta Bates Summit Medical Center — a leading East Bay hospital — provides nearby acute care and specialty services. For nature lovers, Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve and Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve in the nearby Berkeley Hills offer striking natural landscapes, while Willard Park provides a close-by green space for family walks. The UC Berkeley campus is just north, bringing academic energy, public events, and a sense of civic pride that permeates daily life throughout Berkeley. Elmwood Care Center is managed by Hycare, Inc., a care organization with operational expertise across skilled nursing settings. Hycare's management approach emphasizes clinical consistency, staff development, and resident-centered programming. The skilled nursing team at Elmwood Care Center develops individualized care plans for each resident, whether they are recovering from a hospitalization, managing a chronic illness, or receiving long-term nursing support. Families can expect transparent communication, professional nursing oversight, and a genuine commitment to resident dignity throughout every stage of care.
