A board and care home is a small assisted living home, usually a regular house in a residential neighborhood, licensed by the California Department of Social Services as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE). These homes have 6 or fewer residents and provide meals, supervision, and help with bathing, dressing, and medications.

It depends on the home and the care needed. Small homes often have fewer amenities than large communities, but more one-on-one attention.

Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver isn't offered in San Luis Obispo County, so families usually pay privately or with SSI/SSP, VA benefits, or long-term care insurance.

Look the home up by name or license number in the California Community Care Licensing Division's public facility search, which shows the license status, capacity, and any inspection reports or citations. Chapter shows each home's state license number on its listing.
