Park Merced in Merced, California, operates as an assisted living community where daily personal care, medication reminders, and scheduled health monitoring form the core of its service model. The assisted living program is designed to help residents maintain independence while ensuring that trained caregivers are available for support with bathing, dressing, mobility, and other routine needs.

Beyond standard assisted living, the community maintains a 24-hour emergency call system that links residents to staff at any time of day or night. On-site medical oversight is available for memory care needs, diabetic management, and other chronic conditions, giving residents and families access to targeted clinical attention without leaving the property. Regular laundry and dry-cleaning services help residents manage personal items and linens efficiently.

Accommodations range from private studios to shared apartments, with housekeeping and utilities included in the monthly fee. Many units offer cable TV, access to landscaped outdoor areas, and proximity to the library and computer lounge, though not every residence contains every listed feature. The grounds include walking paths and a garden area, and the community is pet friendly.

Dining services provide three daily meals planned by nutritional staff who can prepare low-sodium, kosher, vegetarian, and gluten- or allergen-free options as needed. Healthy snacks are available between meals, and portion control is monitored to support individual dietary plans.

Residents have access to an activity center where scheduled events such as bingo, arts and crafts sessions, and club meetings take place. Organized social outings extend engagement beyond the campus, encouraging community involvement and regular interaction among residents.
