Which care homes are licensed in Fortuna?

As of September 13, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 3 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Fortuna (Humboldt 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 Fortuna?

The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Fortuna's 3 licensed homes, 1 is a small board-and-care home 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 Fortuna?

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 Humboldt County home appears on the DHCS participant list, checked September 13, 2026. The statewide Medi-Cal page lists every participating county and home.
