Which care homes are licensed in Bakersfield?
As of October 27, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 137 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Bakersfield (Kern 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 Bakersfield?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Bakersfield's 137 licensed homes, 117 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 6 are homes licensed for 7–15, and 14 are larger assisted-living communities licensed for 16 or more (CDSS license-capacity records, refreshed October 27, 2026). All hold the same state RCFE license.
Does Medi-Cal help pay for assisted living in Bakersfield?
Yes — at participating homes, through Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW), which pays for care services, not room and board. 30 of Bakersfield's 137 licensed homes appear on the DHCS ALW participant list, checked October 27, 2026; Kern County has 33 participating homes in all. Participating homes carry a “Medi-Cal ALW” marker in the list above.

What do state records show for care homes in Bakersfield?
Recency, not ratings: state inspectors filed 273 inspection and complaint-investigation documents dated in the past 12 months, covering 132 of Bakersfield's 137 licensed homes (CDSS facility records, retrieved October 27, 2026). We publish each home's documents on its own page — dated and verbatim, never scored or summarized. Open any home in the list above to read its record.
