Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in Redwood City?

The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Redwood City's 28 licensed homes, 18 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 2 are mid-size homes licensed for 7–15, and 8 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 Redwood City?

Yes — at participating homes, through Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW), which pays for care services, not room and board. 1 of Redwood City's 28 licensed homes appear on the DHCS ALW participant list, checked September 13, 2026; San Mateo County has 4 participating homes in all. Participating homes carry a “Medi-Cal ALW” marker in the list above.
