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 Union City?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Union City's 22 licensed homes, 19 are small board-and-care homes 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 Union City?
Yes — at participating homes, through Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW), which pays for care services, not room and board. 1 of Union City's 22 licensed homes appear on the DHCS ALW participant list, checked September 13, 2026; Alameda County has 19 participating homes in all. Participating homes carry a “Medi-Cal ALW” marker in the list above.
