Which care homes are licensed in Los Banos?
As of September 13, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 5 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Los Banos (Merced 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 Los Banos?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Los Banos's 5 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 2 are larger assisted-living communities 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 Los Banos?
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 Merced County home appears on the DHCS participant list, checked September 13, 2026. The statewide Medi-Cal page lists every participating county and home.
What do state records show for care homes in Los Banos?
Recency, not ratings: state inspectors filed 26 inspection and complaint-investigation documents dated in the past 12 months, covering 5 of Los Banos's 5 licensed homes (CDSS facility records, retrieved September 13, 2026). We publish each home's documents on its own page — dated and verbatim, never scored or summarized. Open any home in the list above to read its record.
