Who we are, why we built Eria Cares, and how it actually works
Eria Cares is a free service that helps families and older adults find senior care in the San Francisco Bay Area: care homes, home care and retirement living. We cover the nine Bay Area counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma.
Finding care usually means weeks of phone calls and guesswork. We bring each provider’s care, published prices and official inspection results into one place, where they exist, in plain words, so you spend less time digging and more time deciding. Eria Cares is part of the ERIA family, based in Sausalito.
Eria Cares helps in three ways, all free for care seekers.
Find every licensed provider near you, from nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, home care, hospice and adult day care, across the nine Bay Area counties. No more jumping between websites.
Each provider page shows whether it is licensed and, where records exist, what state inspectors found on their visits and its Medicare star rating. That helps you spot which places deserve a closer look before you visit.
Answer a few questions about the care you need and where you need it, and get a free shortlist of providers that fit, in minutes.
It's the first question most families face. Here's how the options differ.
A residential setting where someone lives full-time, either for a short stay or permanently. In California that means nursing homes, assisted living and memory care, suited to those who need round-the-clock support, whether that's with day-to-day tasks, medication, mobility, or specialized care like dementia and nursing.
Support is delivered in someone's own home. That might be a caregiver who visits a few times a week, a few times a day, or a live-in caregiver who's there full time. Great for those who'd prefer to stay in familiar surroundings but need a hand with day-to-day life.
Communities for older adults who want to live independently, with dining, activities and other services on site. Many also provide care if it's needed later. On Eria Cares, retirement communities that offer assisted living are listed under assisted living.

Yes. Searching, comparing providers and getting a shortlist cost you nothing.
For now, the nine counties of the San Francisco Bay Area: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma.
Eria Cares lists every state-licensed provider in the counties we cover. A provider that opened recently, changed its name or sits outside those counties may not show up yet. If you think one is missing or out of date, let us know.
No. Eria Cares helps you find and compare providers. For questions about health, Medicare or Medi-Cal, talk to a doctor, the provider or a benefits counselor.
