Which care homes are licensed in Lemon Grove?
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 Lemon Grove (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 Lemon Grove?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Lemon Grove's 8 licensed homes, 5 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 27, 2026). All hold the same state RCFE license.
Does Medi-Cal help pay for assisted living in Lemon Grove?
Yes — at participating homes, through Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW), which pays for care services, not room and board. 1 of Lemon Grove's 8 licensed homes appear on the DHCS ALW participant list, checked September 27, 2026; San Diego County has 88 participating homes in all. Participating homes carry a “Medi-Cal ALW” marker in the list above.
