Licensed homes only
Listings come from the California Department of Social Services’s licensing records. A home that loses its licence leaves the directory at the next update.
Openings, from the homes
Homes will post and update their own open beds. Until a home does, its page says so plainly: we never guess.
No one pays to rank
Results are in alphabetical order, always. We do not recommend homes or take a fee when someone moves in. How we list.
Residential care for the elderly (RCFE)
Assisted living and board-and-care homes for people 60 and over who need help with daily activities but not 24-hour nursing. Often called “assisted living” or “board and care”.
Adult residential facilities (ARF)
Homes for adults 18 to 59 with physical, developmental or mental-health needs who need care and supervision. Often called “board and care” or “adult residential”.
