Read the county overview

Santa Barbara County has 95 state-licensed residential care homes for the elderly (RCFEs) on the California Department of Social Services licensing record, last refreshed September 13, 2026: 69 small board-and-care homes (licensed for 6 or fewer residents), 4 mid-size (7–15), and 22 larger assisted-living communities (16 or more). None appear on Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver participant list (DHCS as of September 23, 2026). Countywide, assisted living typically runs $6,000–$9,000/mo and small board-and-care homes $5,000–$8,000/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 Santa Barbara County have licensed care homes?

As of September 13, 2026, CDSS licensing records place Santa Barbara County's 95 licensed residential care homes across 8 cities and communities. The 5 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.

Smaller communities in Santa Barbara County

Buellton (1 licensed home) — Family Connect Memory Care Sycamore Ran, 310 Sycamore Drive

Carpinteria (1 licensed home) — Granvida Senior Living and Memory Care, 5464 Carpinteria Avenue

Orcutt (1 licensed home) — A Peaceful Place on Rice Ranch Rd, 711 E Rice Ranch Rd

Which kinds of care are licensed in Santa Barbara County?

Each page below lists every licensed Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara County have homes that take Medi-Cal?

Not through the Assisted Living Waiver here. The ALW — the Medi-Cal program that pays for assisted-living care services, though not room and board — has licensed participating homes in 15 California counties, and DHCS enrollment records as of September 23, 2026 list none in Santa Barbara County. The statewide Medi-Cal page linked below names every participating county and home, free.

What does assisted living cost in Santa Barbara County?

California's state record carries no per-home prices, so we publish county-level market context only: assisted living in Santa Barbara County typically runs $6,000–$9,000/mo and small board-and-care homes $5,000–$8,000/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 Santa Barbara County care homes?

Recency, not ratings: state inspectors filed 160 inspection and complaint-investigation documents dated in the past 12 months, covering 89 of Santa Barbara County's 95 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.
