Read the county overview
Merced County has 24 state-licensed residential care homes for the elderly (RCFEs) on the California Department of Social Services licensing record, last refreshed September 13, 2026: 19 small board-and-care homes (licensed for 6 or fewer residents), 1 mid-size (7–15), and 4 larger assisted-living communities (16 or more). None appear on Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver participant list (DHCS as of September 23, 2026). Countywide, assisted living typically runs $3,500–$5,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $3,000–$5,000/mo (market ranges compiled June 2026); California's 2026 SSI/SSP payment standard is $1,626.07/month, of which $1,444.07 is the room-and-board portion paid to the home.
Which cities in Merced County have licensed care homes?
As of September 13, 2026, CDSS licensing records place Merced County's 24 licensed residential care homes across 5 cities and communities. The 3 cities with three or more licensed homes are linked below with home counts — each city page lists every licensed home free, with capacity, care clearances, and inspection history. Every home in the smaller communities is named further down, with its address and a link to its state record.
Smaller communities in Merced County
Hilmar (1 licensed home) — Christina's Home Care, 8397 Kimberly Way
Livingston (1 licensed home) — Seva Care Home, 1072 Dallas Drive
Which kinds of care are licensed in Merced County?
Each page below lists every licensed Merced County home that matches that care type. CDSS licensing records, refreshed September 13, 2026; homes are listed alphabetically, never ranked. A care approval that is not on file is not a "no" — the record simply holds nothing today.
Does Merced County have homes that take Medi-Cal?
Not through the Assisted Living Waiver here. The ALW — the Medi-Cal program that pays for assisted-living care services, though not room and board — has licensed participating homes in 15 California counties, and DHCS enrollment records as of September 23, 2026 list none in Merced County. The statewide Medi-Cal page linked below names every participating county and home, free.

What does assisted living cost in Merced County?
California's state record carries no per-home prices, so we publish county-level market context only: assisted living in Merced County typically runs $3,500–$5,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $3,000–$5,000/mo (market ranges compiled June 2026 — planning bands, not quotes; confirm pricing with each home). For SSI recipients, California's 2026 SSI/SSP payment standard is $1,626.07 per month — $1,444.07 of it is the room-and-board portion paid to the home, and $182 stays with the resident as a personal-needs allowance.
What do state inspections show for Merced County care homes?
Recency, not ratings: state inspectors filed 60 inspection and complaint-investigation documents dated in the past 12 months, covering 22 of Merced County's 24 licensed homes (CDSS facility records, retrieved September 13, 2026). We publish each home's documents on its own page — dated and verbatim, never scored — so open any home in the list above to read its record.
