No.

We need plants which produce oxygen to survive. The oxygen in our atmosphere is entirely created by plants (originally phytoplankton in the oceans) so for us to survive on another planet there would have to be some sort of oxygen producing organisms. It's unlikely that a non-carbon based life would produce oxygen as oxygen is a by product of photosynthesis - turning carbon dioxide to carbon and oxygen. If the lifeform was not carbon based it would have no use for creating carbon.

We'd also need the percentage of oxygen to be fairly close to that on Earth (around 20%) and the rest of the atmosphere to be composed of inert gasses (ideally nitrogen as on Earth). This would imply a balance between oxygen producing organisms and oxygen consuming organisms.

We'd need there to be liquid surface water and some sort of plant like organisms which produce something we could eat (or to plant our own plants there to eat.

The temperature would need to be fairly close to Earth, partly for there to be liquid surface water and partly just so we could survive - we can survive in a wide range of temperatures but not higher than about 40 degrees centigrade and not lower than about -20 degrees.

Is there a another planet that all living things can live?

There is no habitable planet besides Earth that all living things can survive on. If scientists found another planet with water humans could probably survive on other planets but we would need food supplies brought regularly. Plants survive on a certain type of environment, so unless we could create an environment on another planet exactly the same as where the plant came from it would be impossible. Animals are like humans, if they have food supplied regularly enough and a fresh water supply they could live on another planet.
