Which care homes are licensed in Pacific Grove?

As of September 13, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 3 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Pacific Grove (Monterey County).

Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in Pacific Grove?

The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Pacific Grove's 3 licensed homes, 0 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 0 are mid-size homes licensed for 7–15, and 3 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 Pacific Grove?

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