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

The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Saratoga's 5 licensed homes, 3 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 0 are mid-size homes licensed for 7–15, and 2 are larger assisted-living communities 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 Saratoga?

Possibly, but not in Saratoga itself: no Saratoga 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 Santa Clara County, where 3 licensed homes participate. The county Medi-Cal page below lists every one.
