Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in Carmel?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Carmel's 9 licensed homes, 6 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 1 is a mid-size home licensed for 7–15, and 2 are larger assisted-living communities licensed for 16 or more (CDSS license-capacity records, refreshed August 2, 2026). All hold the same state RCFE license.
Does Medi-Cal help pay for assisted living in Carmel?
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 Monterey County home appears on the DHCS participant list, checked August 2, 2026. The statewide Medi-Cal page lists every participating county and home.
