Which care homes are licensed in Downey?

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 Downey?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Downey's 14 licensed homes, 9 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 1 is a home licensed for 7–15, and 4 are larger assisted-living communities licensed for 16 or more (CDSS license-capacity records, refreshed October 26, 2026). All hold the same state RCFE license.
Does Medi-Cal help pay for assisted living in Downey?
Yes — at participating homes, through Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW), which pays for care services, not room and board. 4 of Downey's 14 licensed homes appear on the DHCS ALW participant list, checked October 26, 2026; Los Angeles County has 336 participating homes in all. Participating homes carry a “Medi-Cal ALW” marker in the list above.
