Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in San Carlos?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of San Carlos's 7 licensed homes, 4 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 1 is a home licensed for 7–15, and 2 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 San Carlos?
Possibly, but not in San Carlos itself: no San Carlos 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 Mateo County, where 4 licensed homes participate. The county Medi-Cal page below lists every one.
