Which care homes are licensed in Santee?
As of September 27, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 11 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Santee (San Diego 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 Santee?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Santee's 11 licensed homes, 10 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 27, 2026). All hold the same state RCFE license.
Does Medi-Cal help pay for assisted living in Santee?
Possibly, but not in Santee itself: no Santee home appears on the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant list, checked September 27, 2026. The waiver — Medi-Cal's program that pays for assisted-living care services, not room and board — does operate in San Diego County, where 88 licensed homes participate. The county Medi-Cal page below lists every one.
