Which care homes are licensed in National City?
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 National City (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 National City?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of National City's 8 licensed homes, 4 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 0 are mid-size homes licensed for 7–15, and 4 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 National City?
Possibly, but not in National City itself: no National City home appears on the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant list, checked September 27, 2026. The waiver — Medi-Cal's program that pays for assisted-living care services, not room and board — does operate in San Diego County, where 88 licensed homes participate. The county Medi-Cal page below lists every one.
