About these results

Most info first counts what we have on file for each home: a price the home listed, photos, its website, the languages spoken, an opening it reported, its tour hours and details it added to its page. Homes with more of these come first. Homes with the same number go nearest first.

The search area includes nearby places. Counts describe records, not openings. Care and costs still need confirmation with each home.

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

The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Hercules's 4 licensed homes, 3 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 1 is a home licensed for 7–15, and 0 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 Hercules?

Possibly, but not in Hercules itself: no Hercules home appears on the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant list, checked October 26, 2026. The waiver — Medi-Cal's program that pays for assisted-living care services, not room and board — does operate in Contra Costa County, where 27 licensed homes participate. The county Medi-Cal page below lists every one.
