Which care homes are licensed in Carlsbad?

As of September 27, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 28 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Carlsbad (San Diego County). Each appears in the full alphabetical list above with its licensed capacity, license status, state-recorded care clearances, and a link to its complete state record on this site.

Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in Carlsbad?

The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Carlsbad's 28 licensed homes, 17 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 2 are mid-size homes licensed for 7–15, and 9 are larger assisted-living communities licensed for 16 or more (CDSS license-capacity records, refreshed September 27, 2026). All hold the same state RCFE license.

Does Medi-Cal help pay for assisted living in Carlsbad?

Yes — at participating homes, through Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW), which pays for care services, not room and board. 2 of Carlsbad's 28 licensed homes appear on the DHCS ALW participant list, checked September 27, 2026; San Diego County has 88 participating homes in all. Participating homes carry a “Medi-Cal ALW” marker in the list above.
