Read the county overview

San Diego County has 604 state-licensed residential care homes for the elderly (RCFEs) on the California Department of Social Services licensing record, last refreshed September 13, 2026: 441 small board-and-care homes (licensed for 6 or fewer residents), 39 mid-size (7–15), and 124 larger assisted-living communities (16 or more). 88 participate in Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver (DHCS list as of September 23, 2026). Countywide, assisted living typically runs $5,000–$7,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $4,000–$6,500/mo (market ranges compiled June 2026); 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 cities in San Diego County have licensed care homes?

As of September 13, 2026, CDSS licensing records place San Diego County's 604 licensed residential care homes across 30 cities and communities. The 20 cities with three or more licensed homes are linked below with home counts — each city page lists every licensed home free, with capacity, care clearances, and inspection history. Every home in the smaller communities is named further down, with its address and a link to its state record.

Which kinds of care are licensed in San Diego County?

Each page below lists every licensed San Diego County home that matches that care type. CDSS licensing records, refreshed September 13, 2026; homes are listed alphabetically, never ranked. A care approval that is not on file is not a "no" — the record simply holds nothing today.

Does San Diego County have homes that take Medi-Cal?

Yes. Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) pays for assisted-living care services — though not room and board — at participating homes, and DHCS enrollment records as of September 23, 2026 list 88 of San Diego County's 604 licensed homes as participants. The county Medi-Cal page linked below lists every participating home with its license number and care clearances; enrollment changes, so confirm current participation with the home.

What does assisted living cost in San Diego County?

California's state record carries no per-home prices, so we publish county-level market context only: assisted living in San Diego County typically runs $5,000–$7,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $4,000–$6,500/mo (market ranges compiled June 2026 — planning bands, not quotes; confirm pricing with each home). For SSI recipients, California's 2026 SSI/SSP payment standard is $1,626.07 per month — $1,444.07 of it is the room-and-board portion paid to the home, and $182 stays with the resident as a personal-needs allowance.

What do state inspections show for San Diego County care homes?

Recency, not ratings: state inspectors filed 1,399 inspection and complaint-investigation documents dated in the past 12 months, covering 542 of San Diego County's 604 licensed homes (CDSS facility records, retrieved September 13, 2026). We publish each home's documents on its own page — dated and verbatim, never scored — so open any home in the list above to read its record.
