Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in Sierra Madre?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Sierra Madre's 4 licensed homes, 1 is a small board-and-care home licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 0 are mid-size homes licensed for 7–15, and 3 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 Sierra Madre?
Possibly, but not in Sierra Madre itself: no Sierra Madre home appears on the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant list, checked September 13, 2026. The waiver — Medi-Cal's program that pays for assisted-living care services, not room and board — does operate in Los Angeles County, where 334 licensed homes participate. The county Medi-Cal page below lists every one.
