Which care homes are licensed in Porterville?
As of September 13, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 20 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Porterville (Tulare 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 Porterville?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Porterville's 20 licensed homes, 20 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 0 are mid-size homes licensed for 7–15, and 0 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 Porterville?
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 Tulare County home appears on the DHCS participant list, checked September 13, 2026. The statewide Medi-Cal page lists every participating county and home.
What do state records show for care homes in Porterville?
Recency, not ratings: state inspectors filed 20 inspection and complaint-investigation documents dated in the past 12 months, covering 15 of Porterville's 20 licensed homes (CDSS facility records, retrieved September 13, 2026). We publish each home's documents on its own page — dated and verbatim, never scored or summarized. Open any home in the list above to read its record.
