Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in Albany?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Albany's 4 licensed homes, 2 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 1 is a mid-size home licensed for 7–15, and 1 is a larger assisted-living community licensed for 16 or more (CDSS license-capacity records, refreshed September 13, 2026). All hold the same state RCFE license.
Does Medi-Cal help pay for assisted living in Albany?
Possibly, but not in Albany itself: no Albany home appears on the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant list, checked September 13, 2026. The waiver — Medi-Cal's program that pays for assisted-living care services, not room and board — does operate in Alameda County, where 19 licensed homes participate. The county Medi-Cal page below lists every one.
