Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in National City?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of National City's 9 licensed homes, 5 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 0 are homes licensed for 7–15, and 4 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 National City?
Possibly, but not in National City itself: no National City 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 San Diego County, where 87 licensed homes participate. The county Medi-Cal page below lists every one.
