Read the local overview
Carmel has 9 state-licensed residential care homes for the elderly on the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) licensing record, last refreshed September 13, 2026: 6 small board-and-care homes (licensed for 6 or fewer residents), 1 mid-size home (7–15), and 2 larger assisted-living communities (16 or more). None appear on Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver participant list (DHCS, checked September 13, 2026). For county-level context, assisted living in Monterey County typically runs $6,000–$9,000/mo and small board-and-care homes $5,000–$8,000/mo (market research compiled June 2026 — ranges, not quotes); California's 2026 SSI/SSP payment standard is $1,626.07/month, of which $1,444.07 is the room-and-board portion paid to the home.

Which care homes are licensed in Carmel?
As of September 13, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 9 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Carmel (Monterey 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 Carmel?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Carmel's 9 licensed homes, 6 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 1 is a mid-size home licensed for 7–15, and 2 are larger assisted-living communities 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 Carmel?
Not through the Assisted Living Waiver here. The ALW — Medi-Cal's program that pays for assisted-living care services, not room and board — operates in a limited set of California counties, and no Monterey County home appears on the DHCS participant list, checked September 13, 2026. The statewide Medi-Cal page lists every participating county and home.

We publish each home's documents on its own page — dated and verbatim, never scored or summarized. Open any home in the list above to read its record.
