Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in San Martin?

The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of San Martin's 3 licensed homes, 2 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 0 are mid-size homes licensed for 7–15, and 1 is a larger assisted-living community 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 San Martin?

Possibly, but not in San Martin itself: no San Martin home appears on the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant list, checked September 13, 2026. The waiver — Medi-Cal's program that pays for assisted-living care services, not room and board — does operate in Santa Clara County, where 3 licensed homes participate. The county Medi-Cal page below lists every one.
