Read the local overview

Novato has 11 state-licensed residential care homes for the elderly on the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) licensing record, last refreshed September 13, 2026: 6 small board-and-care homes (licensed for 6 or fewer residents), 1 mid-size home (7–15), and 4 larger assisted-living communities (16 or more). None appear on Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver participant list (DHCS, checked September 13, 2026). For county-level context, assisted living in Marin County typically runs $6,000–$9,000/mo and small board-and-care homes $5,000–$8,000/mo (market research compiled June 2026 — ranges, not quotes); 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 care homes are licensed in Novato?

As of September 13, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 11 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Novato (Marin 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 Novato?

The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Novato's 11 licensed homes, 6 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 1 is a mid-size home licensed for 7–15, and 4 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 Novato?

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 Marin County home appears on the DHCS participant list, checked September 13, 2026. The statewide Medi-Cal page lists every participating county and home.
