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

The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Solvang's 3 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 2 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 Solvang?

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.
