What is a board and care home?
A board and care home is a small assisted living home, usually an ordinary house on a residential street. In California it's licensed by the Department of Social Services as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE), the same license as large assisted living communities, but with 6 or fewer residents.
Caregivers provide meals, housekeeping, supervision, and help with bathing, dressing, and medications. With so few residents, care tends to be more personal and staff get to know each resident well. Large communities usually offer more activities and amenities. Some small homes also hold hospice or dementia care waivers. Ask each home what care it can provide.
