Which care homes are licensed in Encinitas?

As of September 27, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 8 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Encinitas (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 Encinitas?

The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Encinitas's 8 licensed homes, 3 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 0 are mid-size homes licensed for 7–15, and 5 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 Encinitas?

Possibly, but not in Encinitas itself: no Encinitas home appears on the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant list, checked September 27, 2026. The waiver — Medi-Cal's program that pays for assisted-living care services, not room and board — does operate in San Diego County, where 88 licensed homes participate. The county Medi-Cal page below lists every one.
