Kyakameena Care Center

Kyakameena Care Center provides dedicated skilled nursing services from its location at 2131 Carleton Street in Berkeley, California — a setting that combines the energy of one of the Bay Area's most intellectually dynamic cities with a residential neighborhood quiet enough to support genuine healing and rest. Managed by Hycare, Inc., the facility reflects a professional approach to skilled nursing that prioritizes clinical quality and individualized resident care. Carleton Street runs through a mid-Berkeley neighborhood well-positioned between the Telegraph Avenue corridor to the east and the bustling Shattuck Avenue to the west. Residents and visiting families have convenient access to Telegraph Avenue's famous stretch of bookstores, cafés, and independent businesses — a cultural touchstone that has defined Berkeley for generations. The Elmwood District's dining options on College Avenue are also within easy reach, offering everything from neighborhood bistros to the acclaimed Cheese Board Collective. For grocery needs, Berkeley Bowl and its sister location Berkeley Bowl West are Bay Area institutions offering exceptional fresh produce. Medically, the facility benefits from Berkeley's robust healthcare infrastructure. Alta Bates Summit Medical Center on Ashby Avenue is one of the closest major acute care hospitals, providing emergency, cardiac, and surgical services. Kaiser Permanente's extensive East Bay network and Highland Hospital in Oakland round out the region's healthcare safety net. Nearby green spaces include People's Park and Willard Park for accessible outdoor time, while Tilden Regional Park in the Berkeley Hills offers scenic trails and picnic areas for family outings. The UC Berkeley campus — with its majestic grounds, sports facilities, and year-round public events — is just blocks away, contributing to the area's sense of intellectual vibrancy and community belonging. Hycare, Inc. brings structured operational management to Kyakameena Care Center, ensuring that nursing protocols, care plan development, and family communication meet consistent professional standards. Whether residents are here for short-term post-acute recovery or long-term skilled nursing care, the team is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive environment.
