Which care homes are licensed in Santa Ana?
As of September 13, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 37 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Santa Ana (Orange 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 Santa Ana?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Santa Ana's 37 licensed homes, 31 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 0 are mid-size homes licensed for 7–15, and 6 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 Santa Ana?
Yes — at participating homes, through Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW), which pays for care services, not room and board. 5 of Santa Ana's 37 licensed homes appear on the DHCS ALW participant list, checked September 13, 2026; Orange County has 201 participating homes in all. Participating homes carry a “Medi-Cal ALW” marker in the list above.

What do state records show for care homes in Santa Ana?
Recency, not ratings: state inspectors filed 77 inspection and complaint-investigation documents dated in the past 12 months, covering 34 of Santa Ana's 37 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.
