WE CARE ABOUT OUR RESIDENTS AND OUR TEAM MEMBERS

Expressing our faith heritage, Elder Care Alliance is an integrated system committed to serving and enriching the holistic wellness of older adults and those who care for them. ECA is distinguished regionally and locally for delivering excellent care for our residents, creating a supportive work environment for our employees, and advocating for the wellbeing of seniors through our community outreach efforts. Elder Care Alliance owns and operates one age-restricted community: The Villa of San Mateo, three Senior Living Communities: Alma Via of San Rafael, Alma Via of San Francisco, and Alma Via of Camarillo; and one Continuing Care Retirement Community: Mercy Retirement & Care Center.

Elder Care Alliance is so much more than housing for seniors. We work together, eat side by side, laugh with one another, and share a special camaraderie. We value every team member's contribution, every resident's perspective and every care partner's insight. A people-centric approach guides our leadership. We achieve that through building trust, setting clear goals, communicating openly and holding people accountable. When leaders foster a culture where team members feel genuinely valued, involved in decisions and supported to achieve their full potential, it translates into a better experience for our team members and residents.
