Which care homes are licensed in Santa Barbara?

As of September 13, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 33 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara 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 Barbara?

The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Santa Barbara's 33 licensed homes, 19 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 1 is a mid-size home licensed for 7–15, and 13 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 Barbara?

Not through the Assisted Living Waiver here. The ALW — Medi-Cal's program that pays for assisted-living care services, not room and board — operates in a limited set of California counties, and no Santa Barbara County home appears on the DHCS participant list, checked September 13, 2026. The statewide Medi-Cal page lists every participating county and home.
